Tear it down,
burn it down
To start over
from the ashes
Like a tree
The thirteenth sheet of the Tarot stands between the invisible and the visible world. The intermediate point. It represents the death of the old, the end of a cycle and the transition to the new. It means a change. It is halfway between the letters of fortune and destruction.
Premiered by the double basses from Colon Theatre Symphony Orchestra
GRAFFITO
for 4 mixed voices, 2 contrabass flutes, electronics and video
2012
The piece relies on the logic of the dialectical relationship between presences and absences. The discourse is articulated by sound sections interleaved with separating silences, in which the potentiality of the sound is projected on the canvas and the path to reach that moment is evoked. Those silences, due to its position in the structure, are always different from the rest. The sound fragments expand and contract, in correspondence with the formal characteristics of their particles that -among their variables- burst like attacks, notes held, cut, or interrupted.Graffito evokes the dispute over a place, in which some wills struggle to leave marks and others to erase them. In this way a wall of successive layers is built. It flakes and allows the observer to notice various textures, colors, materials. Perceiving the marks of the history of that space also allows to contemplate the continuous attempts of its suppression.

SYNCROFONITA
for ensemble
2016
The piece proposes an integral sound construction, in which the particles contained have no manifest priority between them, but are presented to the listener as possibilities of linkage and meaning. In this sense, the concept of “synchronicity” according to C.G. Jung is implied throughout the work: the listener is interpellated to create a meaningful coincidence between the brief sound objects. The materials are associated in constellations according to the similarity between their morphological characteristics. These groups function as uniform organisms that provide coherence to the construction of the overall structure of the work.
Syncrofonita puts active listening into focus, in which the listener is responsible for generating form from synchronicity. In this context, proximity between the particles that collide in attractive and repulsive movements, show themselves as small fleeting configurations, like cropped from homogenic density of the texture.
Written for Ensemble Líquido, premiered at CCK Buenos Aires.

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.

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.
