Born in Valencia, Spain in 1940, composer Carles Santos studied piano in Barcelona and eventually established a discography steeped in the practices of avant garde colleagues Anton Webern, Arnold Schoenberg, and John Cage. From the latter, Santos showed a preoccupation with silence as a part of music.His main working relationship was, beginning in 1968, on most of the films of director Pere Portabella. His soundtracks were not limited to piano but also included classical and jazz influenced rock excerpts, and in "Vampir Cuadecuc" such elements as an organ drone, knock knock Foley sounds, background murmurs, church bells, pneumatic drilling and an overhead jet engine.
