La Percusión de tu Frecuencia (2007) 12:10″ For Flute and Live Electronics

 

This piece is about breathing. The idea is to represent a biological process in which all listeners could be familiar or identified with, and use this element to communicate a musical idea was one of the main creative challenges during the composition of the piece. A relation between the frequency and the rhythmical patterns (represented as percussion patterns) was established by considering that the higher the frequency, the higher the tension in the rhythmical structure and vice versa. In this way the piece starts constructing a sonorous weave that responded to the necessities of the breathing of the performer, and at the same time affects the formal structural parameters of the piece. This piece works a lot with perception and memory of the listener, by using some events that are always repeated throughout the piece with constant intervallic and gesture permutations. This work is technically and musically very demanding for the performer, whom has to deal with a score of great complexity and in addition to that, be in charge of the synchronization of the electro acoustic part that he controls with a MIDI pedal that is triggering the electro acoustic sounds. The electronics are based on the idea of gesture integration of sonorous objects to the flute material. This piece is then, a desire to establish a direct interaction between: breathing, frequency (intervals), rhythm (percussion) and technologyin a same unified music environment.
