Blog 3 - Der Himmel über Berlin

Imagen
Today I would like to talk to you about one of my favorite movies: Der Himmel über Berlin. His name in English is: Wings of desire. It was directed by renowned German director Wim Wenders. The film tells the story of two invisible angels that accompany and comfort humans. It is a very deep philosophical film, which deals with the fundamental questions of the human being: Who are we? Where we come from? What happens to us after death? We are separated by walls of words that separates us from feeling our true feelings and expressing them shamelessly.

There was the premiere of my work for piano and voice: 7 temples (seven moods). Other composers also presented, some with a lot of experience, other students.

Afterwards some commented their appreciations. They told me that my work made a great impression on them and they felt identified with “the moods” that were suggested. It was really an existential experience to all of them. I remember the last compass where Carolina (soprano singer) screamed euphorically with all her s...

Blog 1 - My work: "Quartet from the distances" for string quartet

In times of isolation and social distance, the music opens itself like a magnificent window chance to access with our greetings, sentiments, to all of what we sense merely in our everyday life. Opening our ears towards inside to what evokes us to art and what belongs to us, Due to the sanitary emergency and social-psycho which are going through brings about an impulse of me to create a work "fragmented" that's to say composed from diverse gestures all different and unique, as regards to the sound. The idea the composed based on "fragments" comes up due to lock down days. Not only exists a "social distancing", but also lingers the phenomenon of "emotional distancing". In these days quarantine dialog in our spirits moods as the tedious, the anxiety, or rage. Nevertheless, if we look at the phenomenon of "pandemic" from a deep vision as whole, we realize that it's an opportunity – and not necessarily a disease – to meet with oursel...
