Silencio

(2021-22)

for alto saxophone, electronics and stage lights

Program notes

Silencio originated from the intention of making the performance space, the stage itself, an active element in the performance situation. In other words, I wished to make the stage come to life and become an active performer alongside the player. Deconstructed elements of club culture (flashing lights and drum machine samples) grow in intensity to generate an oppressive atmosphere, a loud relentless environment that drowns the saxophone's sound, creating an imbalanced antagonism in which the performer fights to be heard.

Duration: c. 10
