for quatuor bozzini

for string quartet [in progress] — ± 15'00" — 2025

for quatuor bozzini is a string quartet based on my previous and ongoing research on Arab-Andalusian music. differently from the wide openness of my previous pieces, this one experiments with more precision in durations, timbral variations and notation in general.

the most important finding of working on the piece was to work with string mutes — and how mutes were intimately related to the kind of shy distance/intimacy i have with Arab-Andalusian music.

the piece was commissioned by Quatuor Bozzini and Gaudeamus Festival 2025 and realized through the Composer's Kitchen project, including creation residencies in Montréal and Utrecht in june & sept 2025.
