Fragile Territories

Recording of the live performance at Miralles-Saal, Hamburg.

Fragile territories was commissioned by Hamburger Symphoniker for the 2016/17 season. The entire music material of the piece emanates from the spectral components of the A of the oboe at the beginning of the piece. A territory unveiled through a serie of epiphanic events which like a light bulb are turned on. From each of these arises constellations of vibrations, a matter which keeps an undefined resonance of its origins - accents and traces which come from the physicality of the body, - and like every living creature are unstable and fragile.

On the left side a max patch used to analise a sdif file with spectral components of the sound of the oboe. On the right side another max patch used to calculate and arrange distorsionand morphing processes at the core of the piece.
