Commentary on works:
All this works belong to my SchlagArt–Arte Percusivo Integral Libre project. A research platform for new percussive poetics and phenomenology of percussiveness, I founded in 2001 and develop during fifteen years.
Rhythm and Resonance Stories
I see my work as an exploration of rhythm as a first language—a fundamental pulse that exists at the crossroads of nature, culture, and consciousness. As a solo percussionist, I approach rhythm not merely as a pattern in time, but as a complete field of study: a philosophical inquiry, a scientific phenomenon, and a deep human art form of expression and communication. I delve into the structures and symbols of rhythm to uncover its ontological foundations —how it shapes reality, orders chaos, and mirrors the patterns of the cosmos and the human heart. Yet, beyond any conceptual analysis, my true compass is emotion in motion. I am drawn to rhythm as story: its cadential sense of meaning, its embodied soulful pulse, its capacity for both profound predictability and startling surprise. Each piece is a journey. It begins with a single stroke and unfolds into a sentient exploration of a larger image —a dynamic encounter with space, sound, temporality and memory. Through percussive dialogue, I seek those heartfelt flows and sonorous outlooks that connect directly to lived experience, inviting the listener into a shared, resonant awareness. This is my pursuit: to map intimate geographies of rhythm, where every instant is a discovery and every silence a horizon.
The Sources Are My Dreams and Encounters
Each of my percussive pieces originates from a lived experience —a memory, an encounter, or a relationship with the intangible. Some arrive as gifts from dreams, fully formed and mysterious, as revelations. Others are awakened dreams, born from a conscious dialogue with the unseen. My inspiration is drawn from the fertile ground where fiction, nature, and the spiritual world converge. I feel myself as a student of the "sensory unknown", listening for the whispers in the wind, the stories in stone, and the rhythms of realms just beyond sight. I conceive of my percussive works not as mere percussion performances, but as sonic percussive tales you can listen to as in an audio books. Each is a volume to be opened and explored, containing layered narratives that reveal themselves over time. Within them, you may find new elements emerging with each listen, strange emotional situations, and fleeting, magical moments that transport you across diverse states of being. They are invitations to a deep, personal journey, written not in words, but in percussive vibration and time.
