At this moment I can establish also an improvisation with the material, which is previously established, as well as making use of a simple algorithm that assists in the maintenance of specific desired sound characteristic. Perhaps the most important aspect of my "poetics" is using the "harmonic matrix" as music composition principle. This is my "object sonorous", my "color" the initial 'affect' that moves all process. This process occurs step by step through innumerous gradations of the initial sonority, which is amplified always for a clear and precise rhythmic frame."RODRIGO LIMA, 2007
