A Gold Rush Suite
A Gold Rush Suite is a composition by Miguel Sagrero based on Charlie Chaplin's silent film "The Gold Rush". The original soundtrack for bassoon, piano, and synthesizer was commissioned for its projection during the cycle of a university's club cinema in 2012 and was performed live. This suite is a compilation of the most important musical themes from the original score. For this recording (2019 review), the composer added some extra textures to the synthesizer part.

Oh Pus for Piano
A little musical joke: once while studying in a conservatory cubicle, I went out to buy a snack with one of my best friends. Upon returning, we went back to the cubicle and jokingly began to improvise on the piano, the result pleased me so much that I began to write what we had done. Here is some of what I was able to record that night in the 90s.
