ORCHESTRA is an exercise in minimalism, executed with fast and spontaneous strokes. It may recall one of the numerous band marches that throng the local streets during our festas. Easily recognizable are the cello player, the trumpeter and the percussionist on the ‘katuba'. The distinct red lines suggest movement generated from pure kinetic energy exerted by the musicians.
