2007-2012 (Fauvism)

Between the years of 2007 and 2012 I was focusing in transposing visual colours to music harmony. After composing Suite in Homage to Matisse, which transposes some of Matisse's paintings to music, I received an email from a scholar asking if I could provide him with more 'fauvist music'. Indeed, the idea of vivid and non-naturalistic colours was closely related to my compositions. The Serenade for Strings, for example, utilizes a single chord for each movement, and the music only changes through transpositions of this same chord, creating an ample sonority of the same harmonic source.

Oribotics (2011) for 3 Flutes - 1'32" This piece is a synchronized colour transposition based on a footage of an installation.
