Mexican-dutch composer Juan Felipe Waller's official homepage. His compositions often
reflect a discourse between harmony and texture put through a 'lens of deformation'.
Moribundo, was commissioned by percussion ensemble SlagwerkDenHaag. The context for composing Moribundo was to use  aspects of mexican cosmogony towards death, which include a rather daring, humorous and defying approach to it. The project involved a collaboration with film animation artist Martha Colburn, whose film syncretizes mexican inspired imagery into a dutch background.

"Hi i am erica and want to be a real sounding artist
(sonidera) plaese right to me any advice."
Shot this video on my mobile phone back in 2008. Erica was back then working for my mother and I showed her this red boxed analogue electronic instrument. I was instantly spell bounded with Erica's refined aporach to this instrument. It was stricking to percieve she had such clear talent, without having had a musical background. Somehow, I the converted the video into a spoof call for support (in a pre-crowd-funding era).
