[New Project] An Aria for the Mallard @ Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (Lisbon, PT)

A collaboration with visual artist Rosana Antolí and soprano Claire Rocha Santos, commissioned by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

This electroacoustic composition and sculpture reimagines the operatic form by centering a more-than-human subject: the mallard duck.

Developed in collaboration with neuroscientists from the Instituto de Medicina Molecular and CAM Gulbenkian [Modern Art Centre], the work emerges from a cross-disciplinary dialogue between art, science, music, and ecology.

Installed in the new CAM Garden, a corten steel sculpture functions as both physical and conceptual score. The aria weaves together soprano voice, local bird calls, and real-time environmental data from the garden’s flora and fauna.

[New Project] SOHO by the London Philharmonic Orchestra @ Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre (London, UK)

Written for the London Philharmonic Orchestra Young Composers Programme 2024/25, SOHO is an exploration of perception, time, and place, crafted through a collision of eras. Drawing inspiration from the eclectic energy of London’s vibrant SOHO district, the piece incorporates AI-generated harmonic progressions, computer-assisted orchestrations derived from live concert samples, and an interdisciplinary hybrid aesthetic that juxtaposes these advanced methods with vintage textures, noir atmospheres, and artistic influences drawn from both past and present. With influences from locations like St Mary’s Church, Leicester Square Station, C&R Cafe Restaurant, Tonkotsu, Prince Charles Cinema, The Clachan, and Ronnie Scott’s, SOHO immerses listeners in a hybrid sonic world that evokes sensory overstimulation, mirroring the confabulated memories and chaotic beauty of urban life.
