Canto Diviso

In canto diviso (2008) the 18 strings are explored to compound rich sound textures, to develop quasi unison and quasi periodic ideas, to create different formant based orchestrations and, more freely, to develop more gestural and melodic independent ideas.The piece was premiered in 2008 by the SESI-Minas String Orchestra (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) being conducted by Oiliam Lanna. Other performances/recordings were made by Simone Menezes (CD "Novos Universos Sonoros", 2009) and Barbara Kehr (Ostrava Days Festival, ensemble: Ostravska Banda).
