Wolves and Wires (2025)


for Baroche Cello and Live Electronics

Wolves and Wires is a piece for baroque cello and electronics that explores musical gesture as an expanded sonic form. The work emerged from a collaborative and experimental process with the performer, grounded in improvisation sessions that investigated the timbral and expressive possibilities of the instrument in dialogue with subtle, spatialized electronics.

The piece unfolds through the tension between the organic sound of the cello — with gut strings and intense physical response — and the electronic modulation that dematerializes and projects it into space. Spatialization acts as an extension of gesture, creating a choreographic listening experience where body, sound, and space interact in a form of expanded chamber music.
