5 ideas de estructura disociada (for Orchestra)
Orchestra Nationale de Lorraine. Jacques Mercier (dir.)

My music is based on the opinion that musical matter is a movement and a relation between elements and not a static object to be observed. It is this opinion that causes me to favor in my language the structural and syntactic aspects over the ones related to "color" or "sound". In my previous works, the temporality showed itself with a clear and predictable directionality. In “5 ideas de estructura disociada (Five Ideas of Dissociated Structure) I try to go beyond this model of directionality by dividing the work in five extremely concise parts, where every material is so brief that it causes its extremely concrete perception. The parts don’t blend into each other nor originate from each other, but rather, it’s intended that, basing on the nature of every idea, the order of the whole constitutes a necessary sequence of exact ideas. Thus, a structurally connected whole is reached (a fact that maybe also constitutes a model of directionality) and a mode of structural perception totally different to the one that I had used in my previous works.

Mi música se fundamenta en la convicción de que el material musical es un movimiento y una relación entre elementos y no un objeto estático que se observa, lo que me lleva a privilegiar en mi lenguaje los aspectos estructurales y sintácticos por encima de los tímbricos. En mis obras previas la temporalidad se mostraba con una direccionalidad clara y previsible. En “5 ideas de estructura disociada se intenta superar este modelo de direccionalidad dividiendo la obra en 5 partes extremadamente concisas, donde cada material es tan breve que obliga a una percepción mucho más concreta del mismo. Cada parte no transita hacia la siguiente, ni proviene de la anterior, sino que se busca que la naturaleza de cada idea haga que el orden que forma el conjunto de las mismas constituya una sucesión necesaria de ideas exactas. Así se logra un conjunto estructuralmente vinculado (hecho que quizás es también un modelo de direccionalidad) y un modo de percepción estructural diferente al que había utilizado en obras anteriores.

Never Say Winter Again [disquiet0431]

This is one of 3 tracks that were made solely by using the analogue synthesizer EMS Synthi 100. For each track, there was a single patch and the material was recorded live in one go. Rhythmical synchronization of the material was done by using the Synthi's sequencer. Simple live manipulations included putting a pin or two in and out and switching on and off the mixer channels. Additional panning of each individual channel was done on a computer. These tracks demonstrate the effect of extremely simplified musical material produced by using the not-so-simple sound tool (for the reference, try figuring out and programming a Synthi 100 sequencer:)). Tracks are named by the number of sequencer steps used in that piece. Recorded live at Electronic Studio - Radio Belgrade.
