Program Notes
There are memories that the time lived empties of emotions, but they remain as habits. They are not good or bad, they are just echoes that come to mind. At some point it is necessary to end them with forgetfulness, in the inner silence that creates space and renews life. Facing Echo expresses one of these purifying moments, when my music came to live only by its inner resonances, with no more needs than silence where it can exist and a future that corresponds to its nature.
