A Book of Forms (2014) after Verb List (by Richard Serra) is a spatial composition for six moving players. The frequencies as well as rhythm and dynamics have been composed after a resonance mode analysis of imaginary spaces. This work is to perform in a very resonant space, to allow sounds to melt and shape sonic aggregates. It was performed by the ensemble Vertixe Sonora.

Sobre la obra
Esta composición parte del texto de tres poemas de Carmen Luz Bejarano. Se titula “Es”, debido a que las palabras que denominan cada canción inician con dicha sílaba: (I) Espera, (II) Espacio y (III) Espuma. Estos términos no solo tienen un peso importante en el discurso de cada poema; sino que fueron puntos de partida para la conceptualización y tratamiento de las melodías, armonías, texturas y timbres presentes en cada una de las piezas.

Вийди, вийди, сонечко, (Sal, sal, solecito,)
ha дідове полечко.         (En el campo del abuelo.)
На бабине зіллячко,       (Sobre la poción de la abuela).
ha ваше подвір'ячко      (En nuestro patio.)

El veinticuatro de febrero empezó la guerra.

Voces:

4. Mi padre y mi hermano se quedaron para defender Ucrania.
5. Bombardearon mi escuela. La maestra y mis amigos murieron.
6. Quiero volver a casa. Allí están mi abuelo y mi gato.
7. Caminé con mi oso de peluche varios días, hasta cruzar la frontera.
8. Jugamos a comer tortitas de alforfón. No hay comida ni agua.

Ucrania, Ucrania.
Aunque destruyan todos los caminos,
regresaré a ti, Ucrania.
Anoche nació una niña en el refugio atómico.
Santa Madre de Dios,
¡Protege a la niña!
Santa Madre de Dios,
¡Salva a Ucrania!
Україну збережи!              (¡Salva a Ucrania!)
¡Salva nuestras vidas!
¡Salvaguarda la Vida,
Amada Madre!

Вийди, вийди, сонечко,  (Sal, sal, solecito.)
Ha маленькі дiтoчки       (Sobre los niños pequeños.)
Tам вони граються,        (Allí juegan ellos.)
Tебе дожидаються.        (Te están esperando.)

This is an acoustic sculptural piece – the unusual disposition of the instruments on stage and the use of voice and close/open pipes create the illusion of sound coming from the inside of a three-dimensional body, at times fully manifesting itself to the outside as the body opens its oral apparatus. The three instruments are positioned in a line perpendicular to the audience. The detuned viola faces the audience and projects its sound forward, while the bass flute (positioned facing sideways) works as a sonorous bridge to the flugelhorn facing the back of the stage.

The piece starts with an embryonic representation of a creature that breaths sound in and out. A feeble heartbeat can be heard moving inside this creature – from the open mouth (viola) to the depth of the lungs (flugelhorn) – in synchrony with the breathing. Vocal sounds born inside the body move forward towards the sculpture’s mouth. The creation of proto-words manifests the presence of the Homo Sapiens (the wise/knowledgeable hominid). The complex nature of Sapiens moves the piece towards a progressive splitting in space of its personality. The three instruments, that at the beginning were cooperating as integral parts of a single body, start acquiring contrasting characteristics and becoming more and more independent. The complex nature of the human being, so much studied and yet uncontrollable can fascinate, confuse, scare…we are humans, perhaps all-too-sapiens.

Gerardo Gozzi: Homo Sapiens, all-too-Sapiens (for viola, bass flute and flugelhorn)
