Artistic Approach

Having held extended residencies in seven countries has

allowed Luis Saglie to absorb and nourish himself from

an array of multiple cultures.

This reality has served as a strong factor in establishing

the identity of his music. As a whole, it is set on ever

present complex and irregular rhythmic attributes as

well as being heavily chromatic while hinting at free

tonality and modality. Balancing this are concepts of

past musical traditions set in a new and personalised

musical language.

All of these characteristics set the stage for the

composer's music to present itself as theatrical and

programmatic at heart. Although dense and complex at

its core, Saglie's music is always transparent enough for

it to reach both the academic and the general public.
