Anch'io Sono Pittore

Description: Frequently, the motivations that push the composer to write a work are absolutely extramusical. Regarding this, the appetite to compose was aroused in me by the impression that produced me reading the sentence: "And I too am a painter" attributed to Corrège, who would have pronounced it in front of Raphael's 'Sainte Cécile' in Bologna.

Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco

Description: Teodoro Pedro Cromberg's Añoranza de lo Dionisíaco. The title references to the importance of sensorial experience (dionis’aco) in concrete music creation, opposite to the microcomposition in the land of sonora synthesis, that is more rational (apol’neo). In this way, both working modes are contraposed all over the piece, though clearly limited sections with short silences or for the clear identity of different sonorous-musical materials. The last section highlights the characteristic motives… more

Antigone: Musique

Description: "Antigone: Musique" was designed to accompany an amateur production of the Cocteau piece. Whose convoluted intervals evoke me the sweet-mean smile of the dark forces that slumber in us.

Antiguas Preguntas

Description: This work is inspired on some pre-Columbian conceptions: man submitted to the forces of a giving universe, yet one that is demanding at the same time. In such a situation, man understands that all security is an illusion, and needs some kind of ritual in order to reconcile the opposites, and to restore the equilibrium of the cosmos. These trusts are not only protected at different levels of the musical structure of the piece, they also orient the criteria employed in the construction of sounds,… more
