Mirage (2023)

A one-movement work based on a utopian vision that is immediately lost, only to be found again after a long turmoil and a deep introspection process. Influenced by Spanish and Turkish music, one can hear sighing echoes of Neşet Ertaş's "Gönül Dağı" mixed with guitar sounds and phrygian harmonies. 

Instrumentation: Violin and Piano

Duration: 9'


Bulerías (2024) - commissioned by Andrés Jaramillo for PianoSpheres

Solo piano piece with extended techniques that follows the rhythm of Bulerías, the fast 12-beat flamenco chant. A lyrical middle section provides the soul of the work, with an improvisatory feel that is half dream and half lament.

Instrumentation: Piano

Duration: 6'
