Score: ToDo

This piece of music, designed to emulate a 7.1 surround system (with seven Snare drums and a Bass voice), was inspired by discussions about the process of composing itself that took place in the UFBA’s School of Music (Salvador-Brazil).

Including the text exposes, with a little bit of humour, the thoughts of some of the composers involved with this issue. Besides that, it also deals with the challenge of composing for “speech and music”.

For live performances, the idea is to put the audience “inside” the 7.1 system, so they can have a surrounded experience of this ToDo.
