Fascinación (Fascination)

It is a work of fantasy, and cosmic and geological contemplation, in which colour and sound are the compositional essence. Conceived for three spatialized groups of seven performers each, it brings the members of the ensemble for which it has been created up to a total of 21 musicians.

The intertextuality is present given the incorporation of quotations from Messe du Jour de Noël by Léonin and the Indian melody Huancavelica of Peru.
