Román Cano
Hello! I'm Roman, a composer from Spain with a passion for counterpoint.
I love counterpoint, fugues, and canons. Here I share my exercises and compositions. My goal is not to write historically accurate music, but to use old contrapuntal techniques as a creative tool to develop my own style. For me, it’s like giving new life to a forgotten art—something similar to modern video games with retro graphics.
I also work as a stock music composer and producer (background music for ads, films, and video games). This counterpoint channel and my professional work constantly inspire each other.
For inquiries, please contact me via email (below).

Fun fact: The idea to compose Dulcius Ex Asperis came from a nonsense (like all my works). I was watching the movie The Lost City (2022) (which I only kept watching because it made me laugh) and at the end of the movie this proverb is mentioned. I thought it would be fun to compose a fugue with these profound lyrics that came out of the silliest movie.

I highly recommend this treatise on counterpoint and fugue by Cherubini, which has been digitized by Brian Bondari: wiki.bondari.com/cherubini_counterpoint_and_fugue:…
I also recommend this little guide to basso continuo by J.S. Bach, digitized by Norman Schmidt: musescore.com/user/12781611/scores/2814171
