THE MESMERISING SOUND OF ACCUMULATION 1 – 2
for hybrid percussion and ensemble
2020/21
It is a look stripped of nostalgia that exposes the cult to the ephemeral, the codes of entertainment and the fragmented and synthetic interpretation of the history of music. Through different simplistic labels, the “eighties” sound of a drum is linked to a synthesiser chord, followed by a distorted guitar troggering reminiscences of different sub-genres. Sequences of references forming a dense and colourful texture. Through a dysfunctional mechanism, the piece underlines the characteristics of accumulation and the delightful vertigo proposed by the entertainment industry.

THE MOTH
for turntable and electronics
2020
In their night trips moths fly with their wonderful dark camouflaged wings pursuing moonlight. Intoxicated by the power of artificial lights they loose orientation and become trapped, untiringly crashing against the light bulbs, until the morning comes. In this piece the main customized needle used by the performer resembles an insect that seeks sound. The sound-moth crashes and rubs against the spinning platter of the turntable producing complex textures. Manifesting the sound of friction.
