“I Concurso Internacional de composición para banda “La Paz” de Siete Aguas”

The work is symbolically inspired by the water cycle, a vital and fundamental hydrological process over time in the town of Siete Aguas (Valencia).

Two main gestures are developed through the composition, the dynamic "crescendo and decrease" and the chromatic movement. These gestures generate the sound material for each of the four states (evaporation, condensation, precipitation and absorption), using a cyclical form, both in sound perception through centers of polarity, and in the conception of the material.

A melodic motif built through small intervals develops over time in the form of “Talea and Color" creating a sensation of cohesion while listening to the work, all wrapped under chromatic "clusters" as a generator of harmony.

The author uses various techniques such as air sounds, whispers, key sounds, finger snaps, and controlled randomness processes.

The pre-recorded material is extracted from the sound material itself and modified through different processes such as delay, reverberation, pitch variations and various filters.
