Espirales, commissioned by the “Trio Contemporáneo”, was premiered and recorded by the ensemble on a CD released by the Piccolo label dedicated to Spanish music. It is structured in three sections following a classical fast-slow-fast succession, seamlessly linked without interruption to form a single movement. The title alludes to its “more or less cyclical” structure where in the same materials resurface several times throughout the piece, engaging in a continuous interplay without a fixed sequential order. While not all materials are initially introduced, they emerge gradually as the work unfolds, with some appearing relatively late. Moreover, the treatment of each recurrence differs from its predecessors, aiming for ongoing development akin to a spiral, never retracing the same path in subsequent revolutions. Furthermore, the incorporation of the “golden section”, a mathematical growth pattern observed in certain spirals develop serves as a structural device to pursue formal coherence and balance. The composition tries to explore an interplay of contrasting densities, rhythmic interactions and timbral exploration.
