En la impenetrable maraña de lo no nombrado (In the impenetrable tangle of the unnamed)
for 24 voices (2009)
Two or three things collaborated in the existence of this absented music.  A Zen garden motivated its possibility. It was concrete and clear.  Its layout of rocks and sand suggested materials and form. 
While composing, materials and form went through a process of transformation arriving to a state of disturbing immateriality. It opened the space to a calm empty mind sailing in the winds of uncertainty. Some objects came together and started to relate to each other not too different from the way rocks are related to sand. I had forgotten the Zen garden just to later realize that I was all the time "looking" at it.
While composing, the idea of Latin America randomly and persistently came to my mind. As usual, some places emerged, some people, some music, and the past. Surrounded by silence and snow I was frequently brought back into the present.
The poetry of Roberto Juarroz was a bright shadow walking with my steps. The title of this work is a line from his Poesía vertical.
