“This work has been generated by little motives from four musical series built by 12, 8 and 6 sounds -and with a mirror estructure-. Its formal structure receives influences by classic patterns. The harmonic and melodic line of the augmented fourth tensioned the work sometimes. His message, written in a clearly way can be enjoyed by their performers and, of course, the audience.
Sometimes it’s mild, sometimes it’s brutal, sometimes it has a sweet glance by an angel or a perverse one by a demon… this work lives between light and darkness, between having everything and having nothing, and always walks firmly with a decisive steep, wich leads to a fatal dance danced on the edge that separates life and death.” (Source; Javier Pérez PGarrido)
