   The experience in modern, contemporary and film music, as well as her orchestration skills, helps to create great versatility in Carme Rodríguez's work. With detailed harmonic textures and emotion as the axis, her music is eclectic, between the past and the present. In her work, contemporary composition and film music may permanently coexist.
