Description

  • Content Description: This work is born from the desire to deepen research on harmonic spectra. There is no fixed notes, but almost nothing but timbres.These first appear superimposed before becoming denser before becoming a moving crowd, each time faster. In fact it is impossible to separate the search on the timbre from that of the duration. The first sequence ends with a quiet, perfectly tonal chord (major thirds overlaying each other). Further, the signals are shorter, they appear with oppositing attacks of hard and soft, rising gradually in the spectrum until the treble and the bass meet, approaching and moving away like a circle who would breathe; the signals that have become very brief become a cloud of impulses that now escape the timbric and spectral perception: "pizzicati" mutants in space. From this almost involuntary abandonment of timbre is born the last sequence of sinusoidal signals turning into a space that has become completely colorless and immobile. With the brief reappearance of the initial beams the work ends leaving only the frail signal of a minor third: the central La-Do as the end-beginning of the sound universe.
