Notes on this piece

Si oscura la vista, o se oscurece la vista…o la vista se nubla, está inspirada en el primer verso del poema Morire in levità, del poeta ruso Arseni Tarkovsky, padre del famoso cineasta Andrei Tarkovsky. El poema aparece dicho textualmente en italiano en la película Nostagia, por la voz en off del protagonista. El poema deja entrever aquellos últimos momentos en que el ser humano rememora y las sen-saciones visuales, sonoras y hasta olfativas que ese acto provoca.

Un fondo sonoro continuo–semejante a un murmullo con notas inciertas–que aparece y desaparece durante toda la pieza se instala como metáfora de aquella Si oscura la vistavisión nublada de quien agoniza. Junto a este persistente sonido, se movilizan distintas sonoridades con trazos melódicos que emergen y desaparecen rápida-mente, así como cualidades armónicas–uso de cuartos de tono e intervalos muy estrechos, entre otros–que refuerzan una iridiscencia recurrente.

English

Si oscura la vista, or the sight darkens… or the sight becomes clouded, it is inspired by the first verse of the poem Morire in levità by the Russian poet Arseni Tarkovsky, father of the famous filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. The poem is quoted verbatim in Italian in the film Nostalgia, by the protagonist's voice-over. The poem hints at those final moments when a human being reminisces, and the visual, auditory, and even olfactory sensations that this act evokes.

A continuous sound background—resembling a murmur with uncertain notes—that appears and disappears throughout the piece is established as a metaphor for that clouded vision of someone who is dying. Alongside this persistent sound, various sonorities with melodic traces emerge and disappear quickly, as well as harmonic qualities—use of quarter tones and very narrow intervals, among others—that reinforce a recurrent iridescence.
