Prelude
Premiere

Programme notes
A prelude is generally understood to be an introductory piece to another larger work, such as an opera, a ballet, or a neo-psychedelic experience.
Prelude is born from the reconfiguration of the themes Super Inertia and A House Full of Garbage present in Superinertia, the last album of the Portuguese band 10 000 Russos. In this work the electronic takes a predominant role over the instrumental, seeking to dilute the perceptual barrier between the acoustic and the electronic. This search for a more cohesive and immersive sound environment allows the work to be presented both in physical concerts and online, ideally succeeded by the performance of the original themes.
Written between 2021/January 7th 2022 as part of my Doctor in Music — Composition at the Royal College of Music, London (EN). With the support of The ACTOR Project (CAN); Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (PT); Royal College of Music (EN); Leões de Portugal (PT) and Foundation for Science and Technology (PT).
