From a newly created duo viola and contrabass came an insight to bring this musical dialogue to the academic environment. This paper mainly deals with the relationship between the composer Samuel Cavalcanti and interpreters Vinicius Gomes on bass and Prof. Paul França (guest violist) and is intended for the discussion of intimate and relational factors of musical creation in direct collaboration with the performers, musical ideas. The piece Bagatelas d'Alma for double bass (acoustic and electric) and viola, it was made especially for this work. It is a piece formed of nine movements, many of which are inspired by said related word soul. It also includes electronic interventions such as Intrauterine recordings and postpartum; electronic bricolage with public songs campaigns (jingles), overlapping voices, is known personalities is the interpreters themselves in the act of performance. An additional electronic feature is the use of amplification effects and interventions in real time as the use of microphones, electric bass and effects pedal. The conception –, the creative process and peculiarities –, therefore, more than actually running is the central object of this study: The relationship of affection of interpretative knowledge, performer of curiosities, their questions and provocations of the composer, his questions and discussion that brought forth a work still in form (work in progress). Therefore, we used the methodology compositional and interpretative aspects, literature, conversation recording and audio recordings, as well as theoretical references as BARTOLOZZI (1982), BORÉM (1998), DOMENICI (2005), RAY (2010) among others. The final result of this research is to compile a single document information that provides subsidies that can help composers and interpreters to think about the collaborative music making.
