Scala

The shape of this piece emerges gradually, at first several independent micro-sounds appear and are gathered at a slow pace, in order to then become organized and create musical phrases. Through these phrases various polyrhythms emerge which in turn are increased and eventually create a unified sound mass. The energy of this mass creates tension so that it becomes more and more dense until it reaches its peak and release. It will then weaken by gradually, subtracting its density and organization of its individual elements until we reach the end and the initial silence. The evolution of this piece could be explained very simply with the shape of a triangle, although we will see that there are important events within this piece that break its seemingly linear evolution and dramatically affect the listener’s anticipation. This piece was awarded with the Residency Prix CIME prize in the Prix CIME 2021 Competition from CIME/ICEM.
