Imagophony

For any solo instrument and digital photography.

Part-object relationships are questioned (scores separated), which should be understood as generators and drivers of an address space. Requires sensitivity on the part of the viewer as a musician, both in the levels of the composition as well as in the interpretation. Calls made to approach the music with forms excerpted from the perception left by conventional means. The piece addresses the processes of perception between audience and performer, as well as the perception of the musician on itself, its essence. So does it question whether, at the time of interpretation, there is an interpreter or a spectator? or public work itself? Since representation, which you cannot do without expected interpretation, needs this constant flux, this cycle to be. Polyphony forges spaces in apparent sensory and perceptual confusion where the individual can be challenged before the expulsion of the unusual, the structural alteration left over by society, and the almost obsessive routine of giving each thing your name and location.

Study to play the piece

Solo flute.
Premiere: Marinee Fernandez (Flute), Havana.
Other performances: Alexandra Rambola (Denmark)

Appears in all time back, in a dark room, playing his instrument. The piece deals with the time to attend a space that simply has found a musician who is studying a play you should play. It relates to human actions that seem insignificant, inconsequential (as trials, repetitions, mechanical actions, or repetitive, such as studying for something, etc.), but they really are the essence of who we are and what we do. The process is, as a result, much richer and a live event in itself. The pursuit of perfection to achieve something, is the thing itself. The medium is the end.

The piece is conceived as a sound walk. It aims to move away from the virtuosity of western instrumental music written for this “classic” format and, on the occasion of continuing this tradition, proposes an intellectual break from the sonic complexities that characterize this format. For this, listening offers simple melodies and a walking time (walk, walk). The instruments express a simple, nostalgic, meditative language; proposing a more contemplative than analytical or excited state of mind. The classic trio offers the possibility of enjoying this type of experience also from classical music, remembering and visiting the work of John Cage, his famous Landscapes.
