ecos translucentes for stereo electroacoustic sounds, 2007

Duration: 8’00”

Recording

ecos translucentes (translucent echoes) is foremost concerned with the process of recollection and inevitable fragmentation

of imagery imprinted in our memory through daily encounters with our surroundings— in this case, that of the Ludlow

neighborhood in Cincinnati, OH. The role of the imagination is varied in this process. Imagination serves as a type of glue

attempting to reconstruct events, which in turn may involve the creation of unforseen (perhaps fantastical) circumstances. It

also allows us the ability to appreciate the intrinsic qualities of everyday occurrences revealing to us an implicit language.

What may first appear as an ordinary sensory experience is therefore revealed as a meaning-bearing reality.

la poesía de los utensilios domésticos for 5.1 surround electroacoustic sounds, 2007

Duration: 6’30”

Recording

Inspired by a quote by Gabriel García Márquez, la poesía de los utensilios domésticos (the poetry of domestic utensils) deals

with the functional use of household objects and their transformation towards gesture expressive sound elements. The

composition is imbedded with a play on the perceptual struggle between what is real or imagined as inspired by the literary

concept of magic realism. la poesía de los utensilios domésticos has been selected for performance at the 2008 International

Computer Music Conference (ICMC) in Belfast, Ireland.
