This performance, the second step on the Oreb project for solo sax, is the fruit of my experimentation in composition, based on my knowledge of the canons of western classical music and those of other musical cultures on this planet. Each piece tells of an aspect of Nature and its creation. The compositions are based on both modal and tonal harmony principles. I used the method of repetition/small variation of limited melodic/rhythmic sequences, and established a dialogue with the reverberation of the musical architecture and the harmonics this generates in order to produce, with a monophonic instrument and without any kind of overdubs, a genuine polyphony. My principal aim is to lead the listener, through the sound and the musical form, to rediscover that interior reverberation from which all music springs.
