Papalotl

Description: Papalotl (from the Nahuatl word butterfly), started off as a revision of my previous work for piano and tape Luz Caterpillard. As the work evolved, I realised the piece was taking a completely different path from the one originally intended, and the result was an entirely new piece. My Papalotl is a toccata like, a tour de force for both pianist and its counterpart on tape. As in some of my previous works, the concerns are primarilly rhytmic and demand an extreme coordination between the two pa… more

Pas de Voix

Description: When asked to compose a piece for an all-Samuel Beckett concert in Los Angeles (including works by Cage, Dodge and Gnazzo), I determined not to act a text of the renowned existentialist writer but rather to sample his voice and manipulate the recording to formulate the substance of the music.

Melquiades

This was done in a positive spirit where the exquisite sound and a sort of game are in the background. The music was finished in the summer of 1987 and it is a commission from my hometown Gävle for their annual electronic mu… more
