“... ele dizia, tocar na flauta da própria vértebra e falava também em coração e em ícones nele guardados guardo no meu coração este ícone que não sei do que é e esta vértebra que sustenta esse tempo esses momentos e esses sons que aqui se enunciam como este texto no qual não percebo o que está sendo dito...”

Vertebra is composed for one musician playing two guitars, amplifiers (two or multiples of two), two e-bows, mp3 players (or any other portable playback equipment), effects and volume pedals.
	Almost every sound in the piece is controlled by the guitarist, without any kind of automation or pre-recorded sources. The only exceptions are the use of long moments of feedback created by the amplifiers correlated with the guitars, and the use of the recorded voice on the mp3 players.
	Amongst the conscious musical references are Earth, -notyesus>, Stockhausen, Alvin Lucier, and at least two other works by the composer: Poslúdio (“Postlude”), for prepared piano and electric guitar; and Moldura (“Frame”) for four electric guitars. The relationship between these references is structural, but also affective. Vertebra is an assemblage of affects presented as memory.

The musical devices that are exhibited in Vertebra compose, thus, with the player herself, a total musical body.

	THIS PIECE SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD.
