Program notes
Writing my work In Effigie I went through a process in which intuition guided me from one note to the next.
When I wrote the first page, I didn’t know where I was going, many things happened by chance and I felt that I only had to organize it, that I had to react quickly, without preparation.
I just wanted to continue down the path that excited me. When the work was almost finished, I found a link by accident with the song Bury a Friend by Billie Eilish. This coincidence allowed me to connect and finally feel that everything fit together.
