Cinnabar, throbbing veins. Barely root (2017/18)

Note about the piece

The initial fragmented and aggressive quivers are in stark contrast with echoing and resonating stillness that follows.

​

The opening shivers return in a  more fragmented and quasi frayed instance.

The shivering texture merges with the still and static one on a deeper level, to the point where the echoing stillness gets lost in its opposite: a wild ride that seems to lead to the opening of the cinnabar in the central kernel of the piece. 

​

A tempting lyricism seems to unlock the cinnabar. This vermilion kernel is the key to a deeper interweaving of the initial material where new light is shed on the fragmented and static material previously heard.

​

Shivers sound again, this time in the form of throbbing expectation of new possibilities being disclosed. The decisive, incoherent, and unrelated rhythm now appears to be an intense rhythmic spread that fails to withhold everything. In the attempt to seek common roots, everything slips away.
