Premiere of Desertificação
Yesterday was the premiere of my work Desertificação for orchestra of flutes, clarinets, saxophones, percussion and electronics. As part of the 3rd edition of Woodwinds Summercamp in Galveias, the concert featured several works and world premieres, two of which by Bernardo Lima and Lucas Rei Ramos.
My congratulations to everyone involved, especially to Arte Piacere (João Oliveira, Liliana Moreira and Luís Espadana) for the initiative and all the work they did with these young people.

Premiere of ‘Shades of White’
Next Saturday at 8pm, at Lisboa Incomum, my piece Shades of White for violin and minimal electronics will be premiered by the Serbian violinist Dejana Sekulić. The piece was commissioned by Projecto DME for the artistic residency during these days. The score has some peculiarities, such as the absence of pitches and the use of decimal tempo markings. Most of the time the violinist bows the body of the violin.
