Music for an inevitable succession of events

“Relative Position” explores a set of musical materials in a sequence of different spatial arrangements. Each section repeats certain sound elements, reconfigured in a new order, and in a new relative position of the musicians.
Without a conductor, the musicians navigate the piece in a context of greater freedom of action, but also of uncertainty. Some open parameters of semi-improvisation, allow the exploration of sound as a current, present, and situated phenomenon, which is reinforced by the active occupation of space.
The piece has 4 sections with the following titles:

Position 1 – Posterior (conjuncture)
Position 2 – Horizontal (constellation)
Position 3 – Parallel (affinity)
Position 4 – On/above/about (argument)

For Flute, Clarinet B♭, Violin, Cello, Percussion (vibraphone and bass drum)
