Rafael Toral

In 2006 he released Space, followed by Space Solo 1 in 2007 and Space Elements Vol. Iin 2008. Also in 2008 premiered the Space Collective, a slowly developing orchestral group.

In the course of his work, collaborating with other musicians has been a decisive factor in learning and development. Among these, the most important is a long time connection with Sei Miguel (since 1993), Portuguese master of avant-Jazz, a key figure in the development of the Space program. In 1998 Rafael became a member of MIMEO electronic orchestra. Often described as a 'supergroup', its other members are Keith Rowe, Thomas Lehn, Kaffe Matthews, Marcus Schmickler, Jérome Noetinger, Christian Fennesz, Peter Rehberg, Gert-Jan Prins, Cor Fuhler and Phil Durrant. Throughout his path, Rafael Toral has kept collaborating with other people, among which are Jim O'Rourke, Evan Parker, John Edwards, Joe Morris, Tatsuya Nakatani, Manuel Mota, Roger Turner, David Toop, Alvin Lucier, John Zorn, Phill Niblock, Christian Marclay, Sonic Youth, João Paulo Feliciano, Rhys Chatham, Lee Ranaldo, C Spencer Yeh, Trevor Tremaine, Dean Roberts and many others.

Rafael Toral has performed throughout Europe, Canada, USA, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

Rafael Toral is available to perform live "Space Studies" and open to eventual collaborations. He is also available to present the Space Program as a keynote/ lecture and to discuss it with the audience.
