Estudio de un invierno, which translates to "Study of a winter," is a two-track EP in which reflections upon shadow & light are addressed sonically by the interaction of low and high frequencies.

Umbra refers to the darkest and innermost part of a shadow—a total occultation. Sine waves unfold over a layer of crisp synthetic sounds, gradually rising until complete silence is reached. The occultation here represented also means a beginning: vulnerability, indeterminacy, uncertainty, and potentiality.

Penumbra refers to the area where only a portion of the light source is obscured by an occluding body—a partial eclipse. As frequencies interact, beatings, movement, and contrast emerge slowly, creating a sonic space where opposites delicately nurture each other.

Both phenomena studied in this work further explore and reveal María's inner and delicate world.

Composed during the winter of 2022-2023, and will be released on summer of 2023.
