8. Program notes: Maresia (2005-2006), for electroacoustic sounds in 8-channels. Maresia means
‘smell of the sea’ or ‘sea mist’, in Portuguese. The work is inspired by the sea in two different
ways: firstly, by the pleasant experience of being immersed and surrounded by water; and secondly,
by the movement of the waves and the energy they release when they break – which cause the
continuum of water to assume ephemeral, yet remarkable, shapes.
Maresia was awarded the First Prize Ex-Aequo in the Metamorphoses Competition 2006 and a
Mention in the Bourges Competition 2006 (Trivium - Program Music).
