Studying at both MIT and Boston’s Berklee College of Music, Noya began his career as a music teacher.

His delicate ambient sound functioned as a sonic antidote to the hyperinflation, riots and corruption in ’80s Venezuela, with Noya describing the difficulty of producing “ambient or beautiful aesthetics within such trying psychological and social environments.”

Canciónes Intactas has collected work from across Noya’s career, which were previously limited to short-run, private releases.
