Horacio Curti knows the shakuhachi flute in the Indian Himalaya region and travels to Japan to study it under the guidance of Kaoru Kakizakai within the Kokusai Shakuhachi Kenshukan. It is there that he received his shakuhachi master's degree in 2004.

He has played and taught in Asia, various countries in Europe, and North and South America, developing an artistic activity that includes work within traditional Japanese classical music, as well as free improvisation and Western contemporary classical music.

He has performed as a soloist with orchestras such as Orquesta Nacional de España, Royal Philharmonique Orchestra of Liège, and regularly collaborates with dance, poetry and theatre. Beyond the ephemeral creations, he has published two solo albums (Ichi and Home is Now), the book-CD Contes Zen: Petites històries per despertar (together with Marta Millà) and he edited the book: Eolssigu! The Sounds of Korea.

Doctor in Ethnomusicology, he is a professor at Superior School of Catalonia (ESMUC) and collaborating researcher at INET at the University of Aveiro from where he investigates issues of sound aesthetics in Japanese music and artistic research.
