Spandex-Hendrix is a celebration of both my origins as a performing musician and who I am now as a composer. I used to be ashamed of not being classically trained since my childhood – but now I celebrate those experiences by embracing and celebrating my culture and influences. Spandex-Hendrix serves as a portrait to my teenage years, being able to enjoy from the loudest version of Voodoo Child (Hendrix) to the magical experience of Because (Beatles). This piece is my first attempt to explore atonality through the use of the pitch class set theory. I took theHendrix Chord(C – E – Bb – Eb), inverted its direction starting from the same root (A – D – Ab – C) and mixed the result in a new scale (C – D – Eb – E – Ab – A – Bb).
