Like the reflection of masts distorted by the ebb of water, this collection of music reflects my passion, happiness, anger, and anguish…
With this disc, I would like to pay tribute to everyone who has exerted an important influence on my musical thinking. The sensations, reflections and actions that participated to my learning and creative process are evoked herein, as in a collage.
The first stimulations from Antonio Galiana, my harmony teacher at the conservatory; the joy of discovery, as seen through my own tears, in the composition classes of Virtu Maragno; the astonishment in front of the paradoxical musical ideas of José Maranzano, who showed me how music is not made only of sounds; the exhortation to go on with my adventures from Francisco Kröpfl; the taste for introspection Horacio Vaggione’s discretion inspired in me; the warm professional and personal support of Alex Martinez; Roger Cochini’s devotion to composition; the encouragement given by Beatriz Ferreyra in difficult times; the pleasure of playing with sounds, borrowed from Thomas Kessler; the casual drive coming from Carmelo Bernaola; the art of synthesis in writing revealed by Bohuslav Schaeffer; the unconditional complicity of my husband Juan Majling; … and so many people, dead or alive, musicians or not, friends, occasional acquaintances — the list would go on and on — who contributed to the development of my vocation as an artist.
