Die Bewegung der Zeit

¿Die Bewegung der Zeit¿ focuses on relevant aspects of my creative process and the elucidation of my musical output. It concentrates on the way some ideas and concepts of perception of musical time and time-abstraction have been manifested in my aesthetic position. This work is divided into two main sections. In the first one, I briefly summarize three different historical essays on concepts of time in music written by Theodor W. Adorno, Gérard Grisey and Brian Ferneyhough. In the second part, I analyze my work for baritone, flute and percussion: ... "canto cósmico" ... (2013). Throughout the analysis, I bring to light various technical and formal elements and discuss how some ideas about musical time were filtered in and reflected on my creative work. Initially, the analysis focuses on the macro-structure of the work, its cyclic form and the relationship with Karlheinz Stockhausen¿s formula technique. Then, it gradually moves into each inner section of the piece, whereby the properties of the used musical materials, their transformations and their functions within a non-linear articulation of the musical discourse are to be exposed.
