Abstract

This portfolio contains five works written for different instruments, ensembles and combinations of acoustic instruments with live electronics and fixed media, composed during the period between 2008 and 2012, together with a commentary. A brief presentation of each work’s programme is presented, followed by a discussion of the instrumentation, orchestration and the composer’s approach to those aspects of each individual work. Finally, a detailed analysis of the rhythmic, pitch and harmonic organization in every individual piece will be discussed thoroughly, as well as the various ways of developing a work out of a single compositional source.
