Program Notes
Work commissioned by the Viseu International Spring Festival, it was originally composed for 8 channels. Vertigem takes a direct approach to the way sounds are spatially arranged to provide a dizzying sensation and on the border between what can be considered music and noise. The work can be divided into 4 sections where the common denominator is the use of different granular synthesis techniques that lead a mysterious narrative to a dynamic and dense culmination that also explores the perception of internal rhythmic acceleration.
