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.

For cello solo 

Êxodo was one of my first music work I composed when I moved from Brazil to Leipzig (Germany) in a pretty cold winter of 2017. 

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

Through his analysis of the flight of Moses and the Jewish people from Egypt, the author reflects about 4 necessities of the body when facing challenges. He observes these 4 types reactions as a ‘code’ of the soul and moral ideas that relate the individual to society.

Each movement represents one of these emotions (Choleric, Sanguinic, Reluctant, Undisciplined ) . The intention in this work is to create a music interpretation of the manipulation of space through gesture and emotion. Each movement, although scored, has a commitment to an unusual contemporary rhetoric.
