I Have a Dream

Codex is a composition inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. His “Codex on the flight of birds”, with its meticulous studies of mechanics, aerodynamics and anatomy, serves as a pretext to create a musical work in which different bird flights are recreated. This 16th-century codex contains detailed notes and drawings on the flight of birds, as well as an analysis of how they maintain balance, move, rotate, descend and ascend during flight. Da Vinci clearly explained two different types of flight: the flight by beating the wings, or propeller flight, and the flight taking advantage of the wind energy, or gliding. Codex researches into these different ways of flight trying to reflect the kinetic energy through music.
