I. Texture of dark colours
II. Texture of fragments, serene
III. Texture of the anguished lines
Textures is the generic title I have been giving to the writing style, which I use as an informal proposal – the musical surface and the governance of an emotional environment, almost exclusive; the construction elements of the work. The subtitles refer to an expressive paradigm, the dominant feeling and sensations which draw me into that form of expression.
Texture of dark colours: rough flow of a grain that becomes a variety of patterns and extremes in fusion and/ or shock absorption, unexpected assaults: it occurs within a space of heavy and threatening lights – the bass strings of the guitar: small wells of color and intense expression.
Texture of fragments, serene: a brief moment of peace brought in by pieces of melody that changes, and changes, and changes, being always the same, on an impassive background. Contemplation. Fabric almost-landscape.
Texture of the anguished lines: melody/ string/ points/ counterpoints: polyphony/ guitar/ space.
