Folio of Compositions

Abstract

Abstract

Two significant facts have guided my career as a composer. One of them is that I am a composer who belongs to the Pre-Columbian Lican-Antay culture and, at the same time, I am a Chilean composer trained in the European musical tradition. Thus, my ancestral roots are as foreign for classical music, as classical music is for my ancestral roots. However, I have tried to combine my
embodied indigenous culture with the development of Western classical music, trying to forge a distinctive language to express my double identity.
In addition to delving into other Pre-Columbian cultures and European contemporary musical thinking, I decided to incorporate historical events in which people had been victims of human rights violations. Specifically, those faced by indigenous people during the Latin American conquest and similar events of recent Chilean history. Thereby, besides the purely musical elements I have used in this portfolio, such as melodic and rhythmic cells excerpted from indigenous music, I have considered extra-musical aspects, such as texts and descriptive titles,
as part of the artistic proposal. These aspects are a significant part of the music development, connecting the listener explicitly with the context behind the artistic work.
This doctoral portfolio comprises seven original works composed between February 2016 and January 2019. The pieces were written for a variety of instrumental settings, ranging from solo to orchestra. The artistic outputs, submitted in audio and video files, and scores, are accompanied by commentaries that address technical aspects and refer to the facts that inspired me and fed into my creative processes.
