Broken Mirrors.
(stereo version)
Sound installation.  4 ch.      

Cecut, Tijuana México, oct 2013- feb 2014.

This work is based on the idea that we are built of fragments, we are a mixture of ideas already thought, emotions already  felt, but combined in a particular way. We imitate patterns, that is what learning is about. We learned to feel and think from many people, books, movies, magazines, conversations, television programs, songs.

The "Voice" of these mirrors is made from recordings of interviews with people talking about themselves, as well as sounds from films or tv shows. All interviews and sounds create a musical composition that is reproduced in quadraphonic.

Parte de la idea de que estamos construidos de fragmentos, somos una mezcla de ideas ya pensadas, emociones ya sentidas, pero combinadas de manera particular. Imitamos patrones, en eso consiste el aprendizaje. Aprendimos a sentir y a pensar de muchas personas, libros películas, revistas, conversaciones, programas de tv, canciones.

 “La voz” de estos espejos está hecha fragmentos de grabaciones de distintas entrevistas a personas hablando de si mismos, además de sonidos extraídos de películas o programas de tv. Todas las entrevistas y los sonidos generan una composición musical que es reproducida en cuadrafonía.

Sedientos - Thirsty

Estrenada en la Fonoteca Nacional, La vida Secreta es un acto sonoro, una obra escénica sin intérpretes, pero con personajes representados por el sonido. La obra se construye a partir de fragmentos de películas mexicanas así como de obras de teatro y danza mexicanos.  Es así como el sonido narra diferentes escenarios y momentos en la mente del personaje.

First premiered at National Sound archive in Mexico City. The Secret Life is a sound act, a stage work without interpreters, but with  characters represented by sounds. The work is constructed using audio extracts of mexican films , and recordings I’ve made in a number of stage works (theater and dance) I have worked on. This is how sound  narrates different scenarios and different moments in a character´s mind.
Stereo Version.

Original Version is 6 audio  channel  & 3 video channel

Audio composition using fragments of music from several dozens of songs that talk about the police.  As a sound installation this piece is played through a couple of military megaphones from the Vietnam era labeled as ¨Units of Public Address¨. This piece starts as a collage and slowly transforms into a composition of timbers and gestures with different layers of sounds extracted and then digitally transformed into a mass of unrecognizably music. Part of the album: ¨The invention of us, treatise on violence¨, that is also a multimedia concert to be premiered in 2020. Created as part of the artistic residence at the art space ¨Bread and Salt¨, in San DIego california.
