This piece is based on material from: Morton Feldman - "Palais de Mari"; Ligeti - "Cordes à Vide"; Schoenberg - "Drei Klavierstücke (1.)"

"In Greek mythology, Polyphemus is the one-eyed giant son of Poseidon and Thoosa, one of the Cyclopes described in Homer's Odyssey."

AETHER

This piece is based on material from: Kurtág - "Ligatura-Message to Frances-Maria"; Kurtág - "Jatekok vol. 4/IV - Bells (Hommage à Stravinsky)"; Messiaen - "Petites esquisses d'oiseaux no. 2 - Le Merle noir"; Messiaen - "Petites esquisses d'oiseaux no. 6 - L'Alouette des champs"

"In Greek mythology, Aether is a primordial god of light, the god of the sky, which the ancient Greeks considered to be “blue ether” that represented heaven."

Unbox Yourself

It seems to me that too often we're inclined to define something or someone, especially ourselves, based only on a few experiences we've had. Why does there need to be a box in the first place? This piece is dedicated to my life philosophy, which is to continuously challenge my comfort zone and grow as a human being: unboxing myself.

Arco-Íris - Live at Bimhuis

This piece is a dedication to synesthesia or similar experiences. Arco-Íris is the Portuguese word for rainbow. Many of the chords in this piece reminded me of a rainbow, hence the title. In fact, to me the first chord of this composition is the most rainbow sounding thing I’ve ever heard.
