“est croisée” belongs to a series of recent compositions where the composer is exploring frameworks of dramaturgy characterized by a continuum of repetitive rhythmicities. Strictly defined by concrete sound blocks, the structure of the piece introduces the horizontal and vertical symbiosis of material opting for phrasal collision, concatenation, and displacement. The gradual deconstruction of the structural constituents of each and every sound block introduces a new view on the hypostasis of the material delineating the eventual dramaturgical development as well as shaping new structural pillars. One of the goals of the composer is to compose a self-referential soundscape where the notion of repetition and micro-parallaxes, the phrasal shortening and stretching, can lead to a new perception of the sound blocks as entities, where repetition can cause a sense of exhaustion and perversion in their singularity. “est croisée” was commissioned by the Trägerverein Herrenhaus Edenkoben e.V. with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. It was written for the IEMA - Ensemble 2019/20 and is heartily dedicated to Konrad and Barbara Stahl.

In “aux déBris” I am interested in the exploration of defined points of convergence related to aspects of a-synchronicity, dis-continuity, and de-construction of sonic actions. Behavior, plasticity, and mechanic rigidity are in the epicenter of my artistic research while forging the embedded rhythmicities and temporalities of the sonic canvas of the piece. What I find particularly intriguing is the illusory hybridity between the human and non-human in an attempt to explore recursive, musical situations that become mechanical and electrified. Therefore, the piece is exploring the resulting perceptual complexities and multiplicities related to distorted and exhausting phenomena of repetition and re/de-construction. “aux déBris” is a piece for flute, clarinet, piano, harp, violin, and cello and is written for and heartily dedicated to the Yann Robin and the members of the MULTILATéRALE ensemble.

[spasmodic frictions: "X"- Aria Impulsiva - "R"] is a piece for seven performers composed for the Royaumont Voix nouvelles composition course 2013 and is dedicated to the Namascae Lemanic Modern Ensemble. The piece resembles to an organism with distinct functionalities that generates a complex system of either cohesive or unpredictable moments. The dramaturgical discourse aims for a stochastic comprehension of the behavior and/or the theatricality of either independent musical units or generalized structural moments throughout the piece. The technical aspects of the music deal with fluidity and the sculpting of sound, means that aim to highlight a visceral and ductile gestuality. One of the fundamental principles of this work is the conception of structure as the potential byproduct of microscopic elaborations of the timbral and gestural dimensions of music. The directionality of the piece derives from the spasmodic transformations of heterogeneous elements that don't allow for the music to be perceived as a system of hierarchically juxtaposed ideas and tend to depict it as a “stream of consciousness”.

The octet version of "les instances" is projecting an electrified sound world emerging from the musical synergies and the coexistence of an amplified ensemble with a synthesized, electronic soundscape. A continuum of interchangeable drives it, phrasal collages comprised of distinct sonic and rhythmical structures, both in the acoustic and the electronic parts. The structure is formulated by repetitive blocks and timbral constructs that engage horizontally and vertically (harmonically) and eventually forge the behavior and the dramaturgy of the music. At the core of my creative thinking lies the notion of repetitive exhaustion and dissolution of sonic material in frameworks of organic sound complexity. I am deeply interested in the impact of recursion on our perception of details and musical events at a micro and macro time level. The piece is heartily dedicated to George E. Lewis.

“…qui s'enchaînent” is a piece for a large ensemble that explores the limits of recursive obsession and systemic propagation of musical events. It is unfolding multiple processes of repetition, formalizing microstructures with unique sonority characteristics and yet outlining superimposed identities of similar sonority objects. The notion of harmony comes to unify quasi-homogeneous materials for creating prominent sound archetypes that frame the canvas of broader musical ideas that formulate the piece's dramaturgy. Mimetic micro-variations and rhythmic metamorphoses are obsessively sculpting, and constantly re-formulating the timbral identities of the sound materials exposed. The piece is heartily dedicated to the musicians of the International Ensemble Modern Academy 2021-22.

•
Oh, mighty Oizys, the most dreaded of demons and gods your poisonous filaments prod, infecting the darkest corners of my psyche.
Rendering my mind, a barren wasteland, silently lost in a haze, out of sync with reality.
As if I lost a step somewhere and accidentally shifted out of phase.
Now I awkwardly glance through a foggy window as life continues around me. Introspection replaces reality, as I oscillate between aimlessly wandering through murky mental caverns and scouring my dreamscape for memories of loss, for those defining moments.
Those pivotal moments in space and time, the gravity of which only becomes apparent in hindsight.

The chaos of life.
The vicissitudes of life.
How bitter the remembrance of things past.

We are but empty husks left behind by broken promises, simulacra hollowed by rejection.
Alas, there is no hope, only loss.
Happiness eludes me.

I’M DROWNING!

We are but empty husks left behind by broken promises by broken promises
broken
broken

A life shattered through betrayal and abandonment, each shard a reflection of agony.

Broken Promises broken Broken promises broken

Doomed to litanies of lament and desolation.

Let us grieve.

Oh, mighty Oizys, the most tangible of myths, your traces left with cataclysmic abundance.
How is one to endure?
They say time heals all, but they forget the destructive force of time, as it chips away at sanity’s facade until the houses of lies collapse. A cascade of misery, from the first light to the final dawn.

The void beckons.
HERE
I will construct a monument to tragedy in your honor. In defiance of occhiolism, a temple erect of materials profound;

MISERY 
ANXIETY 
GRIEF

and depression.

Every brick a painful memory.
In memory of the casualties of life...

the casualties of my life...

For suffering is sacred and pain is holy...

false nostalgia: "I" - towards an ironic uncertainty - "RX" (2013)

“Quando l'anIma è SatuRa: meaningless meandering for [Anit]” is a piece for amplified violin, cello and piano finished in January 2014. The technical aspects of the music deal with fluidity and the sculpting of sound, means that aim to highlight a visceral and tactile gestuality. The fundamental principle of this work is the conception of structure as a potential byproduct of microscopic elaborations of the timbral and gestural dimensions of music. The stream of sonic energy results from a continuous, self-generated – without any particular reference to a formal scheme – “domino” process consisted of heterogeneous gestural and timbral elements that formulate shapes in the unfolding of the structure. Objects and gestures are generated in various layers, in an unpredictable way, depicting the gradual formulation of the structural shape of the piece. Therefore, every single parameter is interacting, producing “cells” that gradually spread out, communicate and connect each other, resulting to the formation of focal sonic/ harmonic moments and gestural interconnections, all combined generating the dramaturgical forces of the piece. The notion behind this approach is pertinent to my need for a stochastic comprehension of the behavior and/or the theatricality of either independent musical units or generalized structural moments throughout my music.

"in dysto" is an extended, mixed electroacoustic composition that explores the concept of sonic hybridity through recursive processes of structural de/re-construction. Drawing inspiration from the resonance profiles of both natural materials and synthesized resonances, the work delves into the realm of unpredictable resonant behaviors. By merging resonance and behavior, a unified concept is formed that mirrors the aesthetic and technical characteristics inherent in the electroacoustic elements, thereby resulting in an electrifying sonic experience.

Through meticulous construction and dissolution, conducted at both micro and macro levels, self-referential blocks of sonic action are harmoniously reconciled, ultimately giving rise to a dystopian landscape characterized by emergence and collision. The deliberate utilization of recursion and repetition serves to push the boundaries of the electro-acoustic material and the synergies observed during performance, while subjectively alluding to a transformative shift from utopia to dystopia.

“DUALITIES is a piece for flute, cello, large ensemble and electronics composed for the International Ensemble Modern Academy 2015 (IEMA). The basic idea of this piece stems from the sonic properties of hissing sounds. The harmonic and/or gestural pallet of the piece incarnates hybrid sonic clouds constructed by microtonal instances of characteristic pitches along with concrete sonic objects (noise), highlighting the artificial depiction of a high frequency, “quasi hissing” landscape. My goal for this project was to realize, musically, high frequency gestures and sonic streams deriving from the visceral contribution along the soloists (the flute and the cello) the electronic sounds - fixed media or live processing of the soloist duet - and the ensemble. The piece is governed by the idea of dualism that is expressed via the following relationships: The flute with the cello, the soloist duet with the electronics, the soloist duet with the instrumental ensemble and the multiple combinations along the duet, the electronics and the large ensemble. The texture is treated as a fabric of superimposed elements that correlated within a multidimensional space of sounds and gestures. Aiming for precision and strict articulation, the piece is a virtuosic display of sonic plasticity projecting different instances of an artificial hissing landscape, sculpted, filtered and sonically modified in numerous unpredictable ways. The piece highlights a continuous and gradual blending among the generated spectra of the soloist duet towards the illusionary impression of a hybrid stream of a single “mega”, perceivably homophonic, gestural line (voice) that characterizes the entire piece.

DUALITIES (2015) for flute, cello ~ large ensemble and electronics

The piece was written for the 2016 edition of the Composition Master class under the auspices for the Altitude University and is heartily dedicated to the members of the ensemble MULTILATéRALE.  The emergence of gestural interactivity pointing to an idiomatic stream of sonic behaviors captures the dramaturgical framework of the piece, highlighting a network of distinguishable sonic objects all perceived in a unified sonic fabric. The musical ideas derive from the behavior and directionality of the materials with close attention to their nature, sound structure, sonic porosity and density. My ideas about musical flow and dramaturgical formation are related to the characteristics of each musical moment that is connected with its surroundings, this results in a musical flow with heterogenous or homogenous elements resembling that of a living organism.

The piece addresses the coexistence of multiple acoustic and electronic sonic entities while it explores the relationship between instrumental and sound complexity. The framework of this project takes advantage of the technology and generates an electrified sonic world that counterbalances the acoustic complexities articulated by the ensemble. Metallic sounds, idiomatic frictions, granulated textures and chaotic microtonal clouds are some of the sonic entities interacting within a dramaturgical framework of intricate sonic interconnections and electrified acoustical masses. The generalized standpoint stems from the genesis of an electrified sonic world derived from the electronic processing of acoustic sounds that behave as the sonic extension of the instrumental ensemble in a unified way – the assembly of a “sonic twin”. The emergence of gestural interactivity pointing to an idiomatic stream of sonic behaviors captures the dramaturgical framework of the piece, highlighting a network of distinguishable sonic objects all perceived in a unified sonic fabric.

This is a study on the articulation of distinct sonic material and the possible ways that it can be transformed and generate a structural narrative, a small acousmatic tale. If it can be seen in three parts, the material remains invariant but it progresses drastically! This oxymoron forges a continuous metallaxis of identical sounds, attempting to destroy memory while de- contextualizing intimate sounds from the past. My main goal was to unravel various treatments and representations of my material aiming for the illusion of multiple and heterogeneous sonic entities.

Dedication: to Fred Lerdahl

In my piece Machine learning, I want to highlight the sound qualities of the key mechanism of the saxophone. It is amplified by several microphones on the outside, but also inside the main body of the instrument. This enabled me to access the hidden acoustic nuances of the instrument and investigate a new sonic territory, that of a sonic pallet full of various percussive sounds resonating in different ways. The goal of this project is to capture this hidden acoustic world of the instrument’s mechanism while understanding its potential for music making. Therefore, the performer is put in a place where he/she is reinvestigating the acoustic results of the traditional, common performance practices of the saxophone. The electronics are sonically intertwined with the acoustic properties of the resonant body of the instrument while expanding its acoustic and spatial possibilities. The final result is a projection of an augmented saxophone where acoustic and electronic sounds intermingle in a halo of mechanical sounds, metallic and versatile.

électro-folie (2020) • l'aversion reflétant ''...for Violectra" (2018) is a piece for electric violin and diffused electronics. It is governed by the idea of percussive fragility and sliding instability. The main sound archetype is the organic interaction between wooden bow attacks and metallic thimble attacks on the strings of the e-violin. The piece gradually introduces multiple “glissando” gestures, slithers on the strings, in various speeds projecting a hidden world of granular subtleties that occur during the interaction of the thimbles on the strings. This becomes the central goal of the musical discourse while the structure is evolving.

The e-violin is one character within a virtual quadraphonic space (4 loudspeakers). The role of the electronics, primarily live, is to grasp the percussive density and transform it in the frequency and time domain. One of the roles of the live electronics is to generate a kind of “glue” that surrounds the instrumental gestures transforming them into a robust, thick and dense construction. In addition to that, the computer is responsible for the generation of multiple “e-violin identities”, instances that interact in a continuous counterpoint. One of the goals of the project is the disorientation of the audience by placing the e-violin, in unpredictable places, within the virtual quadraphonic space and blending it with the generated electronics.

In "les instances" I am exploring the coexistence among digital, synthesized sounds and instrumental material. I am interested in experimenting with the reflection of an instrumental group on a synthesized soundscape that dominates the music discourse and has no spectral and/or sonic similarities with the material articulated by the ensemble. The structure of the piece is driven by a continuum of interchangeable, phrasal collages of distinct sonic and rhythmical structures, projected as sonic blocks, and formulating, eventually, the dramaturgy of the piece. The piece was written for Talea ensemble and is heartily dedicated to George E. Lewis.

L’ osmose is an acousmatic composition commissioned by the Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival 2019 and was mixed at the Notam, Studio 3 in Oslo. The piece has been originally composed and diffused within a dome of a 32-loudspeaker array. The material of the piece is comprised of synthesized and electroacoustic sounds whereas its acoustic profile formulates a virtual, 3D soundscape. My goal is the depiction of a live, sonic organism emerging from various different angles of the space. The composition addresses one of my most recent conceptions with regard to formal structure that of angular, phrasal displacement and the unpredictable collage of heterogeneous material. I am interested in displacements and juxtapositions and form remains to be subject of ongoing and unorthodox osmosis of ideas.

for female voice and small chamber ensemble

“dû à l'usure” v.2, is a piece that projects a canvas of phonetic noises and percussive rhythmic models in large repetitive, phrasal units. The female voice along with the percussionist formulate a noise-based phonetic construct that establishes the rhythmical and timbral archetypes of the piece. Repetitiveness and minimalistic mechanisms forge large structural shapes in a process of inevitable decay. This second and final version of the piece is dedicated to the TAK ensemble.
