Maclas is an architectural expression about the perception of the present. The piece displays an omnipresent grid in which sound particles are articulated. They propose to the listener to create links between elements that -due to their duration- can hardly be apprehended. The evolution of the piece proposes temporary situations in which the duration of the sound particles is compressed or expanded, completely changing its shape, although maintaining a single idea of multiplicity within the unitary. The meticulous dynamic balance that the piece requires generates an amalgam between the instruments, in which the sounds sources fade, to give way to textures and particles without univocal hierarchies. Maclas demands an active listening, in a game that insinuates or avoids evident associations of sounds, allowing the listener to weave the experience in a time that flows adjacent to the cognitive and perceptual present.
