Atracciones

Atracciones
Atracciones was especially written for the musicians Carmen Troncoso and Luis Castro (Duo Divertimento), who premiered it on October 1998 at the Multisala Arena in Santiago, Chile. Its title describes the overall spirit of the piece. All musical events of one instrument influence the behavior of the other in different ways, creating zones of attraction and others of rejection. The materials of the recorder and the guitar are quite different, but they mutually interact and complement each other as the piece progresses. This work also includes a controlled improvisation section, a technique that I have not used much in my artistic output.
