Commentary
This work is created from different sound materials that are presented by the different instruments of the trio. These sound materials are the auditory objects that generate all musical discourse.
These objects are modified, change colour, duration, texture, intensity, height …, and are related to each other in different ways, so that the auditor does not recognize a musical development as a classical development, but rather a display of sound objects in time and space, as dialogues between different characters.
At the end of the work, the saxophone and the accordion create a sound background while the perception focuses on a single object, made by the percussion instruments, as if this object, now the protagonist, had integrated all the energy of the other sound materials in the outcome of the musical discourse.
