Premiere of my "canto nenhum" for 8 players in the 40th Campos do Jordão International Music Festival at 19.07.2009 with the Festival's Chamber Group (flute/piccolo: Maurício Freire; oboe: Kathy Halvorson; clarinet/bass clarinet: Luís Afonso Montanha; bassoon: Vincent Godel; horn: Adalto Soares; tam-tams: Carlos Tarcha; viola: Ricardo Kubala; contrabass: Pedro Gadelha) conducted by Tara Chamra. Because of this piece, I was awarded with the Camargo Guarnieri prize. Video by Mari Rizzo. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ "jornal nosso de cada dia" is not a concert piece. it was composed for the theatrical play "Manter em Local Seco e Arejado" by [ph2]:estado de teatro. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2009 brings a few new releases so far: > the Ressonâncias CD, by ensemble Sonâncias came out, including my 3-movement piece "liederschaftlich", comissioned for it and recorded by Lídia Bazarian (piano) and Daniel Stein (violin) >> "desencanto" was released in the "Maximal Music Vol. 13" album, organized by Flo Menezes >>> and "turé tendencioso" was included in the "Ibrasotope Vol. 2: Música Eletroacústica" compilation (www.ibrasotope.blogspot.com) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ "prólogo provisório" is the first from a series of short pieces whose raw sound material consists of analog sonorities generally unwanted in the studio: equipment background noise, hiss, bad contact, feedback and so on. In 2008, it was premiered in the [ibr05] concert, at the Ibrasotope, in São Paulo (www.myspace.com/ibrasotope). Here we may also listen to the premiere of "levante", played by clarinetist Daniel Oliveira at the V Encun, that took place last year in São Paulo (www.encun2007.cjb.net). This work has been also played in the XVII Bienal de Música Brasileira Contemporânea in Rio de Janeiro and in the Encuentro de Arte Sonoro Tsonami 2007 in Chile. (www.tsonami.cl) "desencanto" is my first realization in the Studio PANaroma, under the orientation of Flo Menezes (www.flomenezes.mus.br). Roughly it consists in manipulations of an excerpt from George Büchner's Woyzeck, spoken by Grazi Kunsch and Victor Bittow. Originally it was conceived as a 4-channel piece, we can listen to it here in a stereo reduction. Its first public presentation took place in the VII CIMESP 2007 concert (International Electroacoustic Music Contest of São Paulo). It was also performed at the V Encun.
