SECRET GARDENS OF THE MIND

SECRET GRADENS OF THE MIND

Este trabajo es el primero de un ciclo de obras que tiene por finalidad

rendir un homenaje a grandes músicos que han tenido una inlfuencia

importante en mi formación como compositor.

En este homenaje a Giacinto Scelsi la obra esta estructurada a partir de

la relación y tension que se produce entre las estructuras armonicas

prolongadas de manera casi estaticas y las notas rapidas que se

suceden de manera neurotica.

Sin embargo estos dos procesos constructivos se entrelazan, formando

una una sonoridad mixta en donde las notas rapidas son orquestadas

por sonidos largos producidos en otros instrumentos.

Jardines Secretos de la Mente es una alusion a la sorpresa de

encontrarse con ciertos proceso, sonoridades, estéticas y formas de ver

la vida y arte que en algun punto parecieran vivir dentro de cada uno de

nosotros, y que salen a flote cuando uno visita esos espacios en que se

encuentran descansando.

This score is the first in a series of works that aims to pay tribute to great

musicians who have had an important inlfuence my training as a

composer.

In this tribute to Giacinto Scelsi's work the music is structured from the

relationship and tension that occurs between harmonic structures

protracted almost static and fast notes that follow as a neurotic manner.

However, these two construction processes intertwine, forming a mixed

sonority where quick notes are orchestrated by long sounds produced by

other instruments.

Secret Gardens of the Mind is an allusion to the surprise of encountering

certain process, sonorities, aesthetics and ways of looking at life and art

seem that at some point live within each of us, and they come to the

surface when you visit these spaces in which they are resting.
