I recently started publishing a series of works with score-follow on my YouTube channel. Visit the chanel for more.
The main character is a trumpet player who, by chance, ends up discovering "The Palace of the Mind" and seeing what is there. (performed by Jacob Rushlow). MIND PALACE | 2024 | "Dreamers in a room"* "Endless sparks in the dark. Dark, spark, dark, spark... Dreamers in a room."
*The audio is original from the piece, but the video is AI gen, and then edited.

O GRANDE SOUSINI | "Escritátôa" (excerpt with score) Performance | Tiago Matos Music and creation | Gerson Batista Synopses: Sousini is a composer and pianist, tired and fed up with writing, that hides a secret, inside a box, that could change the world. Simultaneously, he is constantly pursued and approached by his shadow, which has come to life and speaks to him from behind a mirror.
Here's a small presentation that I was challenged to make about its creation, following its première at the Moscow Conservatory in 2021, by Ivan Tsarev, and a series of subsequent performances by Vladimir Skomorokhov.

DESOUSA EDITIONS was created with the aim of making pieces that were not yet published accessible to the world, without overloading the publishers where I am already published (Scherzo Editions, AvA Musical Editions, MIC.PT - Centro de Investigação & Informação da Música Portuguesa, Arpejo Editora, Musicalion, Publishing House KOMPOZITOR, mpmp), and with which we have no intention of competing. We'll also expand our publications to other creators, in the near future.
And just because it feels like we're playing with the Universe, our first DESOUSA EDITIONS published work is PLAYING WITH THE UNIVERSE.
