The intention behind this piece is mainly to construct a discourse distanced from the elements that are traditionally explored in electroacoustic music, eg. texture and timbre. While these elements are undoubtedly present in the piece, it is first and foremost the rhythmic impetus — working around an unstable pulsation — its energy, as well as the imagery and the dramaturgy of the work that is highlighted. 

I have worked exclusively with a collection of sounds from my personal library as well as sounds that have been recuperated online (sort of objets trouvés), like a depository where I drew the parts that were best suited; hence the title “Junkyard Construction”. 
This comes from an interest to work with fairly limited resources (concerning equipment), which is also why it’s a stereophonic piece.
   
“Why stop the swing?” refers not only to the rhythmic content, but also to the swaying of unstable images that are being constantly re-contextualised, progressively detaching and revealing themselves as the inner drama unfolds.

Momentary Motion

Dedicada a Pablo Godínez.

¿Cómo puede nuestra respuesta instintiva al miedo moldear y transformar la música en tiempo real?

PRIMIGENIO es una introspección ante aquello que nos confronta, una evocación  de nuestros temores más profundos que nos guía hacia una perspectiva de la belleza y la liberación que se encuentran en la improvisación. Es una obra que invita al oyente a reflexionar sobre las respuestas primordiales que se esconden en lo más profundo de la psique, mientras se desenvuelve la visceralidad transformadora del intérprete.

Estrenada por Pablo Godínez Ferrel en la Facultad de Música de la UNAM en mayo 2023.
