World Premier. Sibelius Academy R-building Chamber Music Hall April 15th 2009. savikangasHaP at the beginning of the project was entitled violaHaP, but the development of the piece and the work with the finnish violist Max Savikangas demonstrated that the election of the performer here is nothing but a selection of instrument. This piece is the last of a compositional series under the title HaP (Homage to Picasso) where the main hypothesis is that the distance between the source of inspiration and the final artistic result is the creation, being the source of inspiration another musical pieces. In this particular piece I put in practice all the techniques tested in the preceding ones and the piece I use as source is Density 21.5 by Edgard Varese. For the creation of these pieces, some interesting new tools have been developed. Live instruments developed under MaxMSP, and part of the Rhythmic Similarity Measures Library under PWGL was developed after the musical needs of this compositional project.
