ISCM Shanghai Section submission

White clouds rose from the distant mountains, swaying and drifting into the air. I am willing to go away with the wind like white clouds and end freely. The clouds are slowly dissipating under the sunlight, but have been shattered by the wind. They are weak and don't know where they are flying. The sky is so high, and the colors have faded. If only we could follow the dragon and take off, it would also nourish all things and help the vicissitudes of life. The work is written for Portuguese guitar and electronic music, with four-channel prerecorded voices and a lot of use of reverse bedding as the background layer, creating a romantic and swaying atmosphere.

For the purpose of nationalism, many countries and cultures in the modern world try to “erase” the negative images of their colonialism from history books and media. Through this work, I try to bring back poetically and “un-erase” the shame that each society tries to hide and lie. In the piece, my compositional purpose is not only to embody the spatial and temporal perspective based on colour but also to try to convey the message hidden in the shadows indirectly.

The I Pomeriggi Musicali orchestra in Milan asked me to write a piece with a very famous theme. I chose the first theme of the Symphony No. 40 by Mozart. I decided not to use it as a theme for variations but to quote it at some points, using very different instrumentation and cutting it to reduce it till the starting cell. The other musical sections that prepare or connect the quotations are all constructed upon melodic lines of the symphony's first movement. The piece is also connected to the theme of the ISCM festival: as water is one of the most important sources of human beings, masterpieces of the past still make our musical work grow and develop. Our thirst for music research can find great support and power in a deep reflection on an evergreen past.

A Laugh To Cry
a new op-era project

Miguel Azguime libretto, music
Paula Azguime staging

Dive into the depths of humanity with 'A Laugh to Cry.'

A Laugh to Cry is  a scream for freedom against tyranny, against  the omnipresence of arrogance and injustice, against oppression, against the destruction of the Art.

The opera explores some of the essential concerns of human beings in the context of a globalized world, in a speculation on the hegemonic power of destruction of memory, of humankind facing the devastation of the Earth.

The opera develops on the border between dream and reality, between the visible and the invisible, between laughter and tears.

A Laugh to Cry with music and multilingual libretto by Miguel Azguime (Portuguese, French, English, and several other languages) is a metaphysical theatre that puts eternal archetypes to music, staged by Paula Azguime.

The interpretation involves five characters, represented by two sopranos, a bass and two narrators (woman and man); 7 acoustic instruments: flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, piano and percussion and electronic media in real time.

The staging is based on multiple video projections built in symbiosis between music and text.

A philosophical, poetic, and musical reflection on the unprecedented environmental and climate crisis we are facing, caused by the post-Industrial Revolution era; exponentially accelerated in recent years and now referred to as the Anthropocene Age.

An appeal for transformation and awakening of consciousness, and for a rediscovery of a life in intimate and prolonged symbiosis with nature, inseparable from each of the organisms on planet Earth.
