INORGANIC EVOLUTION
For 4 Voices (SATB) and Electronics
Duration ca. 9 minutes
2024Commissioned by the Fundación Música AntiquaNova
Inorganic Evolution proposes a symbiotic relationship between the four amplified voices and the atmosphere created by electronic sounds, generating an immersive sonority.
The piece is subtly inspired by science fiction, and the text is drawn from speeches by Arthur C. Clarke and Werner Herzog, which, coming from different decades and sociopolitical contexts, offer a reflection on the future. Throughout the piece, fragments of these speeches are sampled and processed. The words and phrases used have been selected both for their sonic qualities and for their symbolic dimension.
