Program Notes
The work was born from the mixture of sonorities that I like, wherever they come from. Modal music about desire to dance, about popular pieces, about the dense and rich soundscape of the ensemble, free from stylistic concerns.
I. Blu – from where the blue notes come, which I played so many times on my electric guitar (it seems like thousands lives ago); II. Choral and Microdance – crossing of materials over the ensemble's timbral colors;
III. Tritone – fantasy, almost a dance, something Spanish, something mine that moves.
