Program note

We are in 2019 and Lightness is just 10 years old since its creation. This work marks a new starting point in my catalog, with it I began to explore other sounds in my music, leaving strict formal questions to get closer to a dramaturgy and a color that is born from sound. I remember that the composition of the work flowed in a very organic way, I wrote it as if I was painting it and the ideas were expressed in an agile and simple way. That fluidity has to do with lightness, a quality that, until now, I keep as one of the bases of my creation.
