CORTEX

For Piano and electronics

2017

Written for Rei Nakamura – movement to sound, sound to movement

Cortex displays a surface capable of hiding and uncovering sound particles. In its evolution objects are amalgamated, they arise, or sink, generating layers in which different conditions of fusion between piano and electronics are manifested. Glittering layers of texturized dry sounds in the foreground fuse into a deep resonant background to emerge in the surface with different shapes and timbers.
The particles explore the acoustic limits, with instances of total immersion, in which the crescendo gradients are interspersed with subtle materials to play with a linearity that is not logical but sensitive. The objects can be recognized individually, but they transcend their particularities thanks to the logic of the relations between them and the surface. From this operation results the tension and cohesion of the work as a whole.

In a cold and quiet night in the plains of Santa Fe you can hear the buzzing of radio transmission antennas. Out of service since the first days of cell phones, with their red lights still pulsating forever. When I was a kid I used to stay late to listen to the continuum, waiting for signals in the sky.

DWARF MOUNTAIN

2017

Based on Argentinian Alberto Laiseca’s short story Contemplación del Gran Madero, in which a general in the East learned to meditate by observing a small, wooden cube in a sand garden in his studio. Meditating, he imagined that his army came across a large structure of the same shape, wondering if it was natural or man-made, trying to understand what it could be.
