Classically trained in composition and piano performance, Alfonso’s post-genre approach to music-making aims to defy categorical classification, bringing together idioms from American minimalism, European classical traditions, together with reminiscences of popular genres. With a prolific catalog comprising over a hundred pieces, ranging from solo, chamber and orchestral, the main focus of his output has been on creating music for solo piano and for multiple pianos.
After an early exploration of classical forms (Beginnings, Vol. I and II, released in 2011 and 2013), his active interest in mathematics informed a new direction rooted in minimalism from 2014. His research, stemming from the idea of applying selected mathematical devices to the music-compositional process, lead him to the production of a 150-minutes three-collection trilogy for multiple pianos: Images (2015), Sequences (2016) and To The Lost Ones (2016)
This new direction, based on the repetition and layering of many short motivic ideas (at times with the aid of a looping station), sparked a wide variety of subsequent projects: a symphonic poem, new music for choir, a multi-year long series of pieces for piano and multiple hands named This Is Not a Piano (Volume I, 2018; Volume II, 2019), an album for keyboard ensemble Spaces (2018) and the 3-hour trilogy of compositions for solo piano Nachtmusik (2017), Wintermusik (2019) and Stillemusik (2021).
Since 2021 he has been experimenting with a Yamaha Disklavier.
