A portfolio of electroacoustic compositions

[摘要] This Portfolio is formed of 9 compositions that have been selected in order to reflect the variety of the music I write. It is a journey through my personal approach to sound and writing music using one voice but several compositional techniques. It includes one stereo and four 8-channel acousmatic compositions; they constitute the core of my thesis. Two works are written for both live instruments and electroacoustic medium, focussing on the performance aspect. One stereo acousmatic piece has been written for a choreographer; it is the fruit of a very productive collaboration. The final piece of this portfolio has been commissioned by the Barber Institute of Fine Art; it is an 8- channel acousmatic composition based on a Magritte’s painting, to be played in an installation context with the painting.
