Sou já do que fui emerges in the context of the Transmusica project, a transnational production by five composers form South Africa, Germany, France, Italy and Portugal, and a piano duo – Duo Jost-Costa (France and Portugal). The piece crosses the unifying theme of identity from an individual perspective – the identity of the “I”. Indeed sou já do que fui (I am what I’ve already been) is an autobiographical work, approaching in a conscious way the sonorities and general features of my music during the last years. The title originates from the following eclogue by Luís de Camões: "I am what I have already been, so different, that when somebody calls my name I am amazed to realize that I am still like myself".
