Program Notes
For centuries, many generations of people identify a peregrination with a voyage through distant places, in search of some mystic or marvelous goal.
However, that trip in space is not the essential one. To be a pilgrim is not so much to leave for a distant land, but to learn to find oneself and to discover the deep meaning of one’s existence. In this piece, through sound, what we propose metaphoricaly is a continuous search for the path of enlightenment, what is demanded is an answer to the mistery of things and the revelation of our role in the universe.
