This awarded composition (Musica Nova, 1st Prize), re-mixed, is inspired by the style rock music and ambodies a contradiction between rhythmic and harmonic elements and between dynamic antitheses. The rhythmic motifs played by the flute immerse into deep harmonies and electronic soundscapes, awakening a variety of musical styles interconnected by the language of electroacoustic music. The electronic sounds mainly come from flute and vocal recordings, associated with behaviours of nature. The flute part explores modern performance techniques, which create an aural dialect with the melodic, harmonic and noisy electronic sounds.
