Magma for violin and electronics uses as basis several resonances between the violin and the electronic sounds. The color of the violin timbre is changed, transformed and expanded by the electronics, enlarging the instrument sound into a surrounding mass, constantly changing. The volcanic magma also transforms over time going through shades of red, yellow, grey, until it reaches black, always in a constant tension and plastic mutation. Even when it has solidified and its surface seems to be stable, the inside of it is still boiling and filled with the agitation of the elements that constitute it. This work was commissioned by Festival Dias de Música Eletroacústica and by Seia Conservatory (Portugal) and received the First Prize at Counterpoint Composition Competition.

Levy Oliveira (1993), born in Congonhas (Brazil), dedicates himself to musical composition since 2010. His music is being played frequently in Brazilian and international festivals and it has also been awarded in competitions in Brazil and abroad. In his creative work, Levy Oliveira aims to understand how the listeners reacts to music and how their expectations are built to posteriorly confirm or deny it. Therefore, the study of psychological terms such as habituation and processing fluency has been a rich source of information to be explored in his music. Electronics is often applied as a way of breaking expectations, increasing the spatial and timbral possibilities available to surprise the listeners. Nonetheless, he has composed for different instrumentations that goes from acousmatic pieces to solo instrument, chamber and orchestral music.

Sound artist and composer. Textural explorations on the boundaries of electroacoustic, drone and techno.
