This album dematerialises the concept of minimal composition. It explores complex minimalism, where purity is not presented simplistically. Instead, it reveals a highly intricate conglomeration of sounds, almost entirely overshadowed by a monotonous sound. The aim is to evoke the question: is this being heard, or imagined? A piece of art should have the capacity to immerse the listener in an idea, disconnecting them from reality and offering a new perspective, which leads to heightened sensitivity. Sensibility is key for peace and equality.

Sonically, the album consists of three compositions built upon variations of a single sustained note. The first piece distorts the note using analogue tools. A multilayered soundscape distilling into singularity. The concept unfolds as the pieces evolve. The second piece transforms the core sound into MIDI, manipulates it through digital sounds that break and leap. The third piece embodies the 'barroquismo' of the concept, with the sound now stylised to the point where it becomes playful, moving from heaven to hell. There is room for a recycled piece: death—a son or perhaps a daughter—emerging as a repetitive trumpet loop.
Sonically, the album consists of three conceptual compositions. They are built upon variations of a single sustained note. The first piece distorts the note using analogue tools, with variations fading like waves. The track is reversed from the way it was created, beginning with a multilayered soundscape and distilling into singularity. The concept unfolds as the pieces evolve. The second piece transforms the core sound into MIDI and manipulates it through digital sounds that break and leap, reaching a climax before vanishing into an unsettling tone. The third piece embodies the 'barroquismo' of the concept, with the sound now distorted and stylised, to the point where it becomes playful, moving from heaven to hell before returning to the present's voices. There is room for a recycled piece: death—a son or perhaps a daughter—emerging as a repetitive trumpet loop.

The title, Stillness in which Movement takes place takes inspiration from the words of Jean Miró.
