Annazone

Description: "Annazone" (Anna area), analogue concept of proximity with Amazon (Brazil equatorial forest). The singer is of Brazilian origin. During early childhood, the singer was especially impressed by the songs and cries of the birds and insects of the Brazilian forest.

Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco

Description: Teodoro Pedro Cromberg's Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco. The title references to the importance of sensorial experience (dionis’aco) in concrete music creation, opposite to the microcomposition in the land of sonora synthesis, that is more rational (apol’neo). In this way, both working modes are contraposed all over the piece, though clearly limited sections with short silences or for the clear identity of different sonorous-musical materials. The last section highlights the characteristic motives… more

Antigone: Musique

Description: "Antigone: Musique" was designed to accompany an amateur production of the Cocteau piece. Whose convoluted intervals evoke me the sweet-mean smile of the dark forces that slumber in us. The vocal enchantments the actors themselves, which allows to lengthen the actors during the representation thus creating (at least I hope!) interesting ambiguities...

Antiguas Preguntas

Description: This work is inspired on some pre-Columbian conceptions: man submitted to the forces of a giving universe, yet one that is demanding at the same time. In such a situation, man understands that all security is an illusion, and needs some kind of ritual in order to reconcile the opposites, and to restore the equilibrium of the cosmos. These trusts are not only protected at different levels of the musical structure of the piece, they also orient the criteria employed in the construction of sounds,… more

Apparent horizon

Description: Recording of Maggi Payne's Apparent horizon. This was an attempt to convey an aural impression of the sensations. Sound sources consisted of transmissions from/through space and were from Space Shuttle and Apollo missions, satellite transmissions, and shortwave radio broadcasts.

There are Morse Code "crickets" at Bryce Canyon and static "rain" at the Canyonlands. Processing… more

The water is the place where there is birth and death, and it is the place of the beginning where all possibilities have to be realized and all the thigs must go back. In ancient cultures, the sea on our planet and the celestial sea set upon us were always described as deriving from … more

L'arbre égayé

Description: Recording of Ragnar Grippe's L'arbre égayé. The title, "L'arbre égayé," refers to "the cut tree," but the composer does stress that it also means "the reviving tree."

Arcane 11

Description: The different sound materials of the work come from commercial synthesizers (DX7 / D50). The SAMI (Computer Assisted Music Support System), developed by Bernard Donzel-Gargand and Adrien Lefevre (IRCAM), allowed me to create this music. This instrument offers various access commands such as: - joy-sticks, - photocells, - pedals, who can each, according to our imagination, drive real-time music parameters (change of timbre, velocity, frequency according to modes, ranges, series, tempo, speed et… more
