During the composition of the piece, I found exciting sources of inspiration in Henry Moore's sculptures and also in the site-specific artworks of American
artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943 – 1978). From my viewpoint, formal gestures of fullness and emptiness can be seen in Moore's artworks: the observation
of these forms updates our contemplation of the vastness of void and, at the same, it re-defines the value of solid forms. In a very different practice,
Matta-Clark explored remarkable emptying and fissuring actions by carving enormous holes in ruined buildings.
In Elogio de las cosas vacías (Eulogy of empty things) the presence of the oboe is particularly relevant not only because this plays a soloist
role, but also because it carries out gestural elements being processed through emptying, fissuring, absorbing, compositional actions. It might be said the
music itself explores the idea of ʻintersticeʼ in this piece. This concept has multiple manifestations with different scopes and acts as a sign of identity in
the piece: silence, fissure, disappearance. The empty/solid things paradox dynamically feeds organic processes of mutual absorption between object and
context.
I would like to especially thank German oboist Benjamin Fischer, who actively participated in the collaborative process of the piece.
