Cucciolo

Written inside a caravan in the garden aka " The Spanish Embassy"  in Devon where I was enjoying living with the Andrews, an truly excentric and lovely family. This is the effect of a constant sound of raindrops and that odd torture of those drops that find a home inside the caravan and my head....  Music © Sergio Lopez Figueroa

Experiencia acústica inmersiva  ©2016, Sergio Lopez Figueroa 
Improvisación para piano, orquesta y público coral participativo

El mundo en el que vivimos prevalece  la futilidad, ansiedad, inestabilidad, consumismo, individualismo, cinismo, violencia y más, pero también existe la solidaridad, empatía, esperanza, generosidad, solidaridad, amabilidad y mucho más. Que historia es más visible? Qué contarán los hijos del nuevo milenio a  sus hijos? Creo que por eso mismo no hay nada más radical y contemporáneo que recordar lo que nos hace más humanos.

La lectura del poeta William Blake (canciones de inocencia y experiencia) y la escucha de Robert Schumann (Escenas infantiles op 15) han inspirado la concepción para el estreno de la primera ejecución de HUM. Mi visión es la del adulto que para un momento y miraa la niñez. Espero  compartir con lentitud lo simple, primitivo y básico a través de esta experiencia musical compartida. Es hora de  reivindicar habilidades y sobrepasar preconceptos para poder viajar más allá de lo que clasificamos bonito o feo, útil o inútil.   

HUM es una proyecto en contínua evolución concebida para ser ejecutada en un espacio físico en condiciones particulares en cuanto a la disposición del público. Es una obra incompleta sin la participación de todos y cada uno de nosotros. Conectar con extraños y expresarnos sin necesidad de mediar palabras nos hace más HUManos, siempre  con HUMor y HUMildad.

Para ver el mundo en un grano de arena,   			
Y el Cielo en una flor silvestre,                             		
Abarca el infinito en la palma de tu mano             		
Y la eternidad en una hora.                                           	
Aquel que se liga a una alegría                                          	
Hace esfumar el fluir de la vida;                                          	 
Aquél quien besa la joya cuando esta cruza su camino      
Vive en el amanecer de la eternidad.                                  

William Blake


To see the world in a grain of sand,
And Heaven in  a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
Does the winged life destroy;
He who binds himself to a joy
He who kisses joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise
