See more information about Palingenesis
Palingenesis is a composition for hand-built triple flute, tree branches, field recordings, and electronics. The piece is a contemplation on the circular nature of time, both in relation to natural cycles, and the processes of inner healing.
Composed using a hand-crafted ceramic triple flute, which features three different tubular flutes with intuitive microtonal tunings, the composition ebbs and flows along a patient, purposeful journey into the depths of the flute’s unique sonic material, stretching it to its limits and finally disintegrating it completely with digital processing like sampling and granular synthesis before ultimately reaching a quiet corner of focused integration.

Mente Mineral (Mineral Mind)
Mente Mineral (Mineral Mind) is a more-than-human music mask that is an homage to the mountain range of Chubut, Argentina, which once formed part of the Gondwana supercontinent. The wild clays used to make this piece, which date back to the Miocene (13 million year old material) and the Paleocene periods (66 Million year old material) were responsibly harvested and used to sculpt this piece in situ over the course of 4 days during a residency organized by Nómada Cerámica.
The instrument produces sound with internal bells and two small flutes that have two finger holes each. The flutes can be played separately or together to produce melodies and beat frequencies.
