Inquietude is a classical piece for violin and violin-generated sounds, that uses a complex rhythmic figuration, and neither tonal, nor completely atonal scheme to evoke restlessness, impetus, and inquietude. The electronic accompaniment uses real violin samples, exclusively. The piece also features some sections influenced by prog-rock and reflects Filipe’s unique voice originating from a mix of classical music, popular music, and film music.

Dawn to Dusk

4/2/2018

A duo for oboe and alto saxophone inspired and influenced by the compositions of Claude Debussy, featuring fluid tonal centers, liquid rhythms, and exotic scales. Since it was written for two melodic instruments, it mainly incorporates Debussy’s use of tone color, melodic construction, and writing style to evoke a sense of incompletion through fragmented ideas and harmonic movements that attenuate the sense of tonality, leaving to the listener a dreamlike atmosphere.
