Falling of Leaves Makes Trees Invisible

Description: This composition from the composer's early period is comprised of the soloist's part on the harpsichord, women’s choir, chamber ensemble of a quite unusual cast and electronically processed concrete and synthesized sound entities. On its symbolical level and in its dramaturgical concept, the rule of the dark/the rule of the evil forces and the fear of cataclysm prevail. The composer found his initial creative impulse in Cage’s (John Milton Cage (September 5, 1912–August 12, 1992)) sentence Fal… more

Fanfares

Description: The piece uses as basic materials the recordings I made in Indonesia, 4 examples of the music used by street vendors. The first is an ice cream vendor who rides a bicycle with a cooler in the back. He plays a small instrument with a metal hip that looks a bit like a trumpet. This instrument does not have a hole for the fingers and the different heights are obtained by the variation of the air pressure. As far as I could judge, this instrument is unique. Street vendors typically use commonly rec… more

Jardins/Ceremonias

JubJub

Description: The title of the composition is taken from a line by Cicero, "toto pectorum tremens" ("the whole breast trembling"). The main musical ideas in this piece are all related to the act of trembling as a response to some basic emotional state such as anticipation, fear, panic, exhaustion, etc. in order to expand the timbral palette of the pitched material, I have incorporated into the composition synthetic, unpitched sounds such as wind, breathing, and large, struck sheets of metal. During the cours… more

Celebrating that which will be with us.… more

Lament

Description: Lament was composed for BAMB and Radio Clyde and was then part of the selection for the Prix Italia music selection in 1985. Taking into account that the listener could listen to the work by chance, we decided to use "everyday sounds" (which would have more to be immediately recognizable), musical sounds. As much as it appears at first sight anecdotally, the structure and context are musical, which gives rise to a work that can be interpreted on several levels. The linking factor of this proces… more
