Blog 1 - Who am I? I am my work!

Hi dear all!

I would to talk to you about my last musical premier: "Siete temples".

It was released in January of this year for the “XX Festival de Música Contemporánea de la Universidad de Chile”, with the interpretation of Andrés Maupoint at the piano and Carolina Muñoz in the soprano voice. 

“Siete temples” means seven moods, that are musically shaped through seven pieces. Since the medieval conception of music as “doctrine of the affections”, going to romanticism and its conception of music as a “sublime expression of the human feelings”, until the contemporary music (Neue Musik) whit ist stamp of being “mysterious and unknown”, I seek to create sensations in the listener that are linked to his affective temper. For this, it is necessary that the interpreter to be completely absorbed in the piece, thus creating an atmosphere of fluidity and energie.

In sensitive times, nothing is better than “temper” our spirits with New Music. Since my beginnings as composer in the creation of new sounds, I´ve had only one propose: carry the listener to shudder. The music must affect-us, and for this, a renewal of our listening is urgent and necessary.

Continue with the tradition of the music means only one thing: “continue breaking, advance towards the unknown, and in this way, to experience with itself.” Helmut Lachenmann.

“Siete temples” emerge of this impuls; is the biggest yearning of transcend itself through the pure sound.

“Siete temples” is a trace towards the future of music, a milestone tracing in each other's feelings, a Wendepunkt for a new listerner.
