Work by Ben Johnston for the 2018 edition of Pow Wow! Worcester.

Saindo hoje de uma experiência intensa no evento "In Hommage from the Multitude - Studies in non-Equidistant Microintervals" na @hkb_musik em Berna, na Suíça. Fui pra lá, meio que como um gaiato no navio, pois o assunto não é minha especialidade, para falar sobre minha experiência no projeto REINVENTING SMETAK, do @ensemblemodern e sobre o processo criativo de minha peça "volvere". Pude conhecer gente muito bacana, trabalhos muito interessantes e um pouco mais sobre o assunto, através da música de Harry Partch, Smetak, Ben Johnston, Risset e Sandberg. Obrigado @joaocarlosvictor pelo convite, parabéns pelo trabalho com Smetak e obrigado para a HKB Musik por acolher a mim e ao meu trabalho. Agora, já em Portugal para fazer algumas atividades nos conservatórios de Castelo Branco e Seia, com meu brother @tuliusaugustus, finalizando com uma mesa sobre processos criativos em composição musical com @silvioferrazm e Sérgio Kafejian no @lisboaincomum do amigo @jaime_reis_composer no dia 3/2. Muito trabalho e pouco passeio pro meu gosto. :) Mas é bom também! #harrypartch #contemporarymusic #switzerland #portugal #harrypartch #benjohnston (em Bern) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5CGIrACxB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
