Furthermore, he is also Telecommunications Engineer by the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, and obtained a Master in “New Technologies in present-day music: Creation and Performance” by Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid, and another “University Master in Musical Performance and Research” by Universitat Internacional Valenciana.
In 1999, he was awarded with the 1st prize in “I Young Pianist Contests” at Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Murcia, and, in 2012, his piano work Ítaca was awarded with the 2nd prize at “I FIDAH Contest for Young Composers”.
Since 2021, he is professor of Composition Foundations, currently teaching Harmony, Analysis and Composition Foundations at Conservatorio Profesional de Música “Arturo Soria” in Madrid. Previously, he has been teaching Analysis, Harmony and Counterpoint in Máster Universitario de Dirección de Orquesta at Universidad Alfonso X “El Sabio” (2019-2021) and Harmony at Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid (2021-2022).
The music of Pedro Gómez has been premiered in Madrid, Valencia, Pamplona, Radziejowice (Poland), London and New York, where avant-garde flutist Julián Elvira premiered the piece End of the Certainties, for Pronomos Flute and electronics.
Due to his duality as composer and engineer, his current creative work is focused on the use of physics and mathematics models to articulate new musical structures and obtain new ways to transform the sound material. This combination of music and science has also resulted in several invitations to give lectures at Royal College of Music in London, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and Universidad de Navarra and Musikene, both of them as part of a conferences cycle called “Las artes suenan” organized by Jakiunde.
His interest in looking for new ways to present the music of our time leads him to be a founder member of M14 Creación Contemporanea, a group of composers aimed at developing new strategies to carry the new creation music towards new spaces and new audiences.
As a musician, since 1993 he is member of Asociación Banda de Música de Calasparra, and he has also being involved in Banda de Música de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Banda de Música de la Federación de Bandas de Música de la Región de Murcia and Orchestra of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona.
