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.


En la impenetrable maraña de lo no nombrado

Hi Nois

InterSeptimal BY JUAN SEBASTIAN LACH

Perished Sun for 8 Instruments and Wind Orchestra (2019)  - conducted by Hardy Li

A mix made in light of Black Lives Matter and Pride (every day, every month). A mix spotlighting some of my fave Black experimental and electronic artists, modern and historic legends. Revolutionary vibe selections of Detroit techno and a touch of vogue ballroom in the second half. It's both amazing and disturbing how tracks from over 20 years ago calling for Black liberation is still so relevant today. Featuring the likes of Nina Simone, Malcolm X, Sun Ra, Flying Lotus, Jeff Mills, Nkisi and many more.
