microintervalic guitars
The microintervalic guitar quartet was born from an idea by Osvaldo Budón,
organized by him in the framework of the Escuela Universitaria de Música,
financed by CSIC, the research central service of the
Universidad de la República, project to which we incorporated,
Gonzalo Pérez and I, in 2013.
The idea consisted in creating, after theoretical research on intonation and specialized instrument building,
a collective instrument with various conditions: a large local participation in the diverse regional musical
genres, concretely imposed itself the guitar; a collection of intervals very small and very diversified,
without the difficulty of very close frets; an individual personality for each component of the collectivity.
The incarnation of the idea is a guitar quartet, microintervalic, of mobile fingerboard with various intonation systems,
a collective instrument with multiple personalities. The quartet was built in 2015, and its repertoire began to develop.
The current phase of the project is oriented towards formation of composers and interprets and generation of repertoire for the
quartet.
