Composer, conductor, guitarist, teacher, and architect. Born in El Salvador, Corrales studied music in San Salvador, Geneva, Lugano and Paris. He is the co-founder of the Ensemble Vortex, which focuses on the premiere performance of new music, and has participated in various international art festivals as both composer and conductor.
Despite the experimental nature of his work, his music is heavily influenced by folk and popular music, and often deals with the form and perception of time and space in a kind of "viable and human" music. He is currently employed as professor of composition and analysis at CPMDT, and is working on a doctoral thesis on the subject of "Musical Figures".
