Cactus géométries (2002) 19m22s ina_e_5015-1.1 | 15048 |

Composer: Javier Álvarez

In this work I chose a few of my favourite cacti as musical metaphors for five possible sonic topologies. During the composition of the work, their capricious and voluptuous geometry served me as a model to invent virtual spaces, fluxes, impacts, variable symmetries, landscapes, whirlwinds and sonic trajectories, whilst specifics regarding their properties provided the context for more anecdotal images.

Composer: Javier Álvarez

In memory of Delfina Fuentes, naturally

This sonic offering falls into four movements that approach the luminous sound of these astonishing Caribbean instruments. Here, steel pans and electrocoustic sounds soar through cause and effect events, evolving into several bouts of multi-grained textures.The mutual transformations of internal resonances seek to project the instrumental sound beyond the limits of its physical boundaries.
