Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point is a piece traverso and electronics in which two multiphonics are artificially stretched, creating complex masses of sound. The idea was to explore the very fragile sound of the baroque flute, as well as its potential to create complex sounds. The piece explore these contrasting aspects of the traverso and gradually evolves from soft sounds into dense textures. The piece is very minimal in its elements. Through the stretching of multiphonic sounds, it searches for a perceptual shift in the listener’s attention, in order to disclose the complex activity within the sound of the baroque flute. The work is inspired by the vanishing point concept from the visual arts.
