Huitaca Ensemble: Toccata Moderada Do Timbre de la Porta Principale (2023)

Vocalist and live electronics

I’ll always cherish the memories of being in an office with Felipe, hearing him repeatedly sing the opening to this one into a microphone to test the code.

There are many works that purport to express a story or message, but Huitaca Ensemble does it in a way with astonishing profundity that truly blew me away, firstly through Felipe’s composition and then when hearing it performed for real by the amazing Emily Venturella. It was a privilege to be part of this hauntingly beautiful story of memories of loved ones that have passed on.
