Work introduction
De Umbris Sonorum is a piece composed in 2016 based on multiphonics technique. The title is related with Giordano Bruno's "De Umbris Idearum". It explores the possibilities of the sounds (overtones) hidden in the sound; these sounds are not clearly perceived, but like a shadow are present in the sound.
