Published in Pilacremus nº 5, (Perspectiva Interdisciplinaria del Laboratorio de Creación Musical), Facultad de Música, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, janvier 2022, pp. 119-136.
Repeat or compose: the creator’s dilemma in front of a consumer society arises in a moment in which he disposes the most varied tools to play his role freely and with the least external restrictions. Eclecticism is no more the overlapping of varieties, but the intimate situation of the composer himself. Timbre, sound spatiality, diversity of sound spaces and tunings, no more considered in a pyramidal way, become accessible through technology and the virtual instrument.
