Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

about
This album emerged from an interest in exploring different compositional techniques, in dialogue with poems by Emily Brontë (England, 1818-1848), Alejandra Pizarnik (Argentina, 1936-1972), Anne Carson (Canada, 1950) and Robin Myers (USA, 1987).
Nature, love, death, loneliness, identity, madness, desire, pain, loss, longing, family, language, memory. Each poem revealed a universe of its own, inviting me to explore diverse timbres and instrumentation.
The experience was deeply enriching and resulted in this eclectic work, which I am pleased to share, in the hope that it will stimulate the imagination of the listener.
Este álbum surgió del interés por explorar diferentes técnicas de composición, en diálogo con poemas de Emily Brontë (Inglaterra, 1818-1848), Alejandra Pizarnik (Argentina, 1936-1972), Anne Carson (Canadá, 1950) y Robin Myers (EE.UU., 1987).
Naturaleza, amor, muerte, soledad, identidad, locura, deseo, dolor, pérdida, añoranza, familia, lenguaje, memoria. Cada poema me reveló un universo propio, invitándome a explorar diversos timbres e instrumentaciones.
La experiencia fue profundamente enriquecedora y dio como resultado esta obra ecléctica, que me complace compartir, con la esperanza de que estimule la imaginación de quien la escuche.
