SchlagArt- Arte Percussive Integral Libre 

A work in progress project since 2001. A creative platform and a searching environment  for new percussive poetics within compositional  experiences that nourishes from the very basic and elemental understanding of percussiveness phenomenology in nature.

It began as an explorative experimental path into a diverse rich percussive imaginary world, and as a departure exploration of universal human expression values and idiosyncrasy through percussive elements, including a more broad spectrum of languages, intuitive thinking, visual art, Life itself.

Life evolves in cycles, so it makes sense art emulates that same cycling evolution procedures. Arte percusivo integral libre means a practice, a way of seeing, listening, thinking. And the core ground for this way of being is a resulting activity from years of studying XX Century contemporary  percussion music.

Exponentially the works for percussion by I. Xenakis, J. Cage, Maki Ishi, Stuart S. Smith, K. Stockhausen, Per Norgard, were the starting point, and together with a natural organic sense of composed improvisation, brought in a solid compositional framework and a complex non-systemic method boarding into a new creative direction. 

There has been other essential factors in the mix, which on time, gave a singular envisioning within the whole percussive conception.
