Lo nuevo es la memoria radiante del pasado, 8 tracks, 10’22 / 2020

The main idea consists in the exploration of a very different and heterogeneous variety of sound shapes, objects and processes, modelled by a small group of spatialization patterns. I have worked this piece using cut and paste techniques applied to octophonic sounds. Also, I have tried to imitate analogue techniques through mixing of short sections in order to keep tape recorders synchronized). In the semantic level, the title refers to the process by which memory can be reconfigured by means of imagination and artistic work.
