Shadows of entropy (2025)


The composition is developed through short musical fragments that alternate in a circular manner across the loudspeakers. The music is presented at the beginning, with each instrument playing separately, but during the piece, the lines of each start to be combined, then separate again. The silence in between the fragments allows the piano’s resonance boxes to generate a harmonic shape through its reverberation.
