solo works

  • For cello solo

    Loading is a first experimental piece designed for the first musical instrument that integrates live coding music, machine learning and sustainability in its system. In a dialogue between analogue and digital systems, we’ll be invited to reflect via the sound transformation of a broadband connection about the function of technology in human life by its provocation to human labour. An electronic representation is designed by a common Cryptography method, mixing the music bars symbol into a bar code system, where a combination of thick and thin lines represent the sound density and its peaks. The performer gestures are tracked and symbolize data for a dutch live code language called Mercury, created by Timo Hoogland.

  • For cello solo

    Êxodo was one of my first pieces when I moved out of brazil to Germany in a pretty cold winter of 2017.

    I had the pleasure of reading a Brazilian actor and philosopher Nilton Bonder, whose book 'The imoral soul' helped me to contemplate the some questions about human existence through a biblical interpretation about the search for space and identity.

    Through his analysis of the flight of Moses and the Jewish people from Egypt, I connected the 4 necessities of the body, which he analyzes as the four attitudes of the Jewish people, with four feelings, symbols of the soul's understanding. Thus observing emotions as a code of the soul and the body to reason and moral ideas that relate the individual to society.

    Although the solidification of references is present in the miniatures, the intention in this work is mainly abstract: the goal is to create an interpretation of the manipulation of space through its body and performance. Each movement, although superficially programmatic, has a commitment to the morphological material and an unusual and transgressive contemporary rhetoric.

  • For cello solo

    Glance was composed as an audiovisual exercise in one of my classes about film music.

    I also explore multiphonics on cello and some concepts about time of music. I've been always facinated by time memory and sonic resilience in contemporary music. In this piece, it is possible to perceive a spacial calculation between its elements aiming to reach this purpose.

    The Multiphonics on the cello contributes for a better combination between distortion and new spectrum explored in this piece.

  • "Missa dos Pássaros" stimulates the activity of local birds with classical and electronic music. This musical work, in the form of a classical music liturgy, is guided by the behavior of the birds, creating a lively and organic interaction between the behavior of the local fauna, sound, and the audience.

    The composition uses the Knurl, an instrument printed by the artist that combines databases of local bird sounds, classical instruments, choir, and electronics. The work also features a choir, theremin, and cello, performed by the UFPR artistic choir, and sounds from an ancient organ from a former Dutch monastery, creating a soundscape of ambient, mechanical, and human noise.

    This outdoor composition invites the audience to experience the interaction between nature and sound—how birds respond to classical music. The result is a dynamic, contemplative interaction between nature, artist, and listener that evokes tranquility, attentive listening, and presence.

  • RECICLOS explores the emergence of a sound in music concerts commonly excluded from our listening: the turning of pages.

    Throughout this miniature, musicians are invited to prepare their instruments with extra materials — clips, mutes.

    I use the excess material of ordinary life to induce a rethinking of our real conditions and material needs.
