The second part of this project is divided into two parts. Firstly, in "Autognosis", I self-analyse my work and my identity as an artist and musician. I think that it is crucial to present a (personal) reflection on my artistic identity, and the visions that have emerged during the course of this research, in order to fulfil all the objectives planned at the beginning. Certainly, this will offer a different perspective on my artistic visions, as well as on the development achieved over the course of this project. This reflection has helped me to understand my choices throughout the composition processes.

abstract
In my reflection on my personal, academic, and artistic path, I examine the impact of culture, tradition, and identity on my development as a composer. I explore this through both a broad lens and in the context of Portuguese national identity. My hometown traditions play a crucial role in my musical identity, serving as the roots from which I draw inspiration. This research allowed me to delve deeper into my own identity as a composer, exploring the ways in which my roots inform the routes I have taken in my musical journey. Through this process, I have been able to redefine my own stylistic language, creating a unique voice that reflects my experiences and heritage. The outcome of this project is a body of new musical compositions and reflections that enrich our understanding of this genre of practice and composition techniques. The artistic creations and insights gained through this process provide valuable contributions to the world of music and composition.
