TAU (2005) 05:30″ Acousmatic 5.1 Multichannel Piece

Pubished by Lanus University – Argentina

The piece is based on the metaphoric idea of one of the six components that form leptons, called Tau. This particle, in spite of being considered as a lepton, that literately means “slight mass” has more than three thousands times more mass than an electron. From that idea I wanted it to make an analogy with the sounds, to represent isolated elements that can exist with no need of company of other particles, but that will possibly have much more weight than another phenomena, which at first, would seem dominant, and perhaps represent sound particles that give sensation of fighting for its own sonorous space is a metaphor to demonstrate that a particle can be heavier, than complex figures (Not every thing is the way it “sounds”). But eventually they have to figure out a way of sharing the surround field. The piece was made in the Laboratory of Audio of the University Institute of the Audio-visual at the Pompeu Fabra University between january an march of 2005. Barcelona. Spain.
