The 3rd electroacoustic study, with collaborations from Mister Sleepy and Owl Dreams’ sound sources. “Infinito Indomável Inonimável”, as an individual effort, was a joy for me to compose, organize, synthethize, live with those sounds that came to me. And after all and somehow, they summarize a spiritual moment I lived. They were built around an fundamental idea, which was organized around the symbolical idea on the number three, as a passage towards the infinite. So, at the core, it was a collaborative creation of three minds, and without the sound contributions from the brave musicians Mister Sleepy (Colt Kirkpatrick) and Owl Dreams (Danielle Demos), this study wouldn’t be possible to came into light. as a matter of fact. I merely functioned here as a sound mediator between these two creative collaborators.
“Infinito Indomável Inonimável” (“Endless Tameless Nameless”) is organized as a suite in 7 acts, although we can correlate to the medieval tryptical – not exactly in the same level of christian religiosity, but in the way the musical painting is disposed. The intro section (until 2min 54 sec) has two acts and describes a obscure rise and fall of the technology as a human tool used in a destructive way. (For the most attentive listener, there’s an enigma in the first 3 seconds.) Mister Sleepy’s monstruous bass and a sound of a fire fustigated by the winds came as an incendiary presence of the mankind facing its own demons. Let’s consider this section as a preparation for what will come afterwards.
The subsequent 3 acts are part of a bigger picture of the development that begins with a silence that endures about 2 or 3 seconds till a new rise for the fourth act, a journey of knowledge of a new territory – we’re conducted by a droning feedback, a noisy keyboard and an oscillator, that brings a falling bridge till another fall, the 4th act. It brings to us the violence of the stretched Mister Sleepy’s looped bass cavalry and the looped announcement of the ringing keyboard played by Owl Dreams. A stretched noisy guitar (played by Mister Sleepy) emerges as a desperate attempt of communication and as a fight against the black abyss. and then, after leaving (or not…) the abyss, we’re entering in a mysterious zone that somehow communicates our own surviving in the 5th act.
Another ascension begins in the 13th minute, for us to be contricted in a religious reflection towards our own fragility, and we can feel the sun at our lost passage in the universe around the final tryptic, in the 6th act. somehow it appears as a miracle, or death or our own ressurrection… in the last 1 min 52 sec the music is self-devouring itself, and we’re not leaving it behind, but returning to its own origins. Is this a new fall? We don’t know.
Anyways, I wanted to make this piece as a transitional work in my own opus as a reflection on the nature of the transformations that we live in our own lives, since that we’re, as a matter of fact, just a very very small part of a huge cosmos. The piece was constructed in a very autonomous way, and somehow it worked revelating its own construction. maybe expressing my own fears, dreams and anxiety for redemption. I’m aware that, maybe, in formal aspects, “Infinito Indom·vel Inonim·vel” is not a real new thing, but it demands a deeper analysis. It’s just my beginnings at an immersion on the pythagorical and orphic possibilities of electroacoustic music. As the composer, i just hope that the listeners feel free to appreciate the transitional qualities not only in the piece, but also in themselves.
For this album, this is the first “dimension of unrecognizement”, being the next two tracks (“Unrecognizable Fantasy” I and II) the other ones.
