un espacio vacío
un espacio vacío explores the acoustic peculiarities of an empty space and incorporates them at a structural and expressive level. Most sounds are extinguished without leaving a palpable trace, we recall sounds or sounding situations reconstructing them and evoking a complex sensorial experience.
We propose with this piece a non nostalgic evocation of past sound events that occurred in a given space through the superposition of temporalities and the saturation of space.
The sound image that we build from a given space is conditioned by perception and by subjective variables. It is in this sense that the interior of a sound artifact, a piano or a room can be considered equivalent to the spacial characteristics perceived outdoors in an open space.
The impossibility of being physically in more than one place at the same time is diluted with the exercise of memory. And in practice, ancient mountains coexist with plastic bags, evincing a stack of temporalities (mythical time, historical time, etc.) that does not prevent us from recognizing the silent resonances that make up everything that vibrates and sounds today.
