CONCERTINO TESTOSTERONE
A composition for soprano saxophone, piano and strings
This work is characterized by changes in mood, including periods of calm melodic and harmonic levels, alternating with high energy parts. The high energetic activity of saxophone, contrasting against the melodic sequences of strings, culminate paroxysmal virtuoso passages. The use of extended techniques for piano and saxophone, including multiphonic saxophone roaring, highlight the composition.

MIXITROPIA
A composition for strings
Mixitropia consists of a series of melodies in the archaic Phrygian mode, which alternate with the minor and occasionally major scale of Western European music. This mixture of modes, often in an inconsistent manner with the traditional use of this material, causes chromatic discrepancies that give the composition a unique character.
