Notes on this piece

Performed By Quartetto Maurice. IMPULS Festival. Austria 2021

The music is based on a process of mixed temporalities for different types of motions and how they react in time. The music begins with a mass of contrasting sound objects that is later recalled in the form of discontinued and deferred resonances. These sound objects granulate, suspend and decay as they expand in time. Even though the musical events are suspended and embraced by closed forms in a tessellation manner, the ending suggests a hint of an “open” resolution as sound objects mutate into a process of proliferation.

"Everything is constantly in motion, at once coming into being and passing away, flowing like an ever-living fire". Heraclitus
