'together we walk - i follow you' is a piece for eight guitars, performed on the 28th of May 2021. In drawing inspiration from trance music, it attempts to depict an experience of the night that is highly connected to a heightening of the senses and feeling more intensely. Especially the topic of individuality and connectedness is something that is present throughout its entirety.
The piece is played by: José Carlos Carreiro, Silvia Escamilla, Matej Lacković, Eva Calvo Lopez, Amadé Pal-Balaz, Alvaro Peon, Antonio Peršak, Natan Zlodre and conducted by Jakob Gaede.

HOW CAN YOU ESCAPE?

Performed by Clusterlab in Lisbon, Portugal (June 9, 2022)

This piece is centered around the concept of death. It was my hope to show two different perspectives, one being that of someone’s life ending, the other, that of the people who are left behind and forced to come to terms with the implications of loss. It addresses fear, hopelessness, acceptance and culminates in voices, tumbling over each other in conflicting thought, unable to entirely process the consequences of loss. They ask for purpose, for reasoning, for a way of comprehending. They reflect on loneliness, scream for help, and recite the stages of grief, over and over again.
“Help Me., Do we return to the ocean when we die?, This is the moment in which we are truly alone., I feel numb., I don’t understand., What we owe to each other is kindness., Back to the beginning., Why?, Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance., When is it time to go?, We wanna go home.” and finally: “Let it end.”
With this piece, I long to find understanding for and express a situation I cannot entirely grasp, as well as create a space of solidarity and kindness, to comprehend something we are forced to confront at some point throughout life.

what we owe to each other

Performed by Clusterlab in Lisbon, Portugal (June 9, 2022)

This piece attempts to capture duality, portraying both the fickleness of life and its vivid beauty. It is influenced by my vague impressions of Lisbon as a stranger, taking note of the noise of the night, the reflections of light on the river, the explosiveness, and speed of the city, the knowledge of loss, the loneliness — an immediate effect of a lack of understanding both language and culture —, and finally, so much love for life.

The Gift

This track is part of a multimodal collaboration with the Pedagogische Hochschule Salzburg, that created teaching material in order to convey difference and sameness. This piece was written to represent the concept through music. The concept was also represented through visual arts as well as poetry, which appears in the music as well.
