about
The aim for creating this piece was to generate a sound result that would be, timbre wise, as coherent as possible allowing both the composer and the listener to focus and be able to hear the generated micro and macro level structures. I decided to limit the Analog Patches in terms of dynamism and quantity to the extreme. The piece is basically based in two instrument patches. Both Patches were controlled by a great number of AC toolbox scores, using several versions of multilayered stream generators. Each control had, at a primary stage, a clear, single parameter to control in the analog patch. This varied through time and a progressive exchange of control assignment was added, to the extreme of using a random choice generator for the control assignment itself: Far from a chaotic outcome, the result is a recurrence of gestures and sounds were sometimes the values used to generate a dynamic curve are ‘recycled’ later to control a filter resonance, or in extremis, to generate a pitch sequence itself.
Lonquimay is a region in the south of Chile close to the Andes. It is also a Volcano that became active for the last time in 1989, causing economic and social damage to the small and poor indigenous population of the region. At the same time, it became a tourist attraction to visit the active volcano. These consequently helped a bit to the community of the zone. I had the chance to visit the volcano and the communities living around it on 1989, and to experience the power of nature and its consequences on people of different backgrounds and realities.
Some of the sequences present in the piece reminded me of the feelings that I had staring at the volcano: The clear presence of something constant, steady, yet always mutating to the point of multiplying itself, something strong and on the verge of explode, that never blows up, but, nevertheless, affects its surroundings.
