for violin, trombone and 8 cymbals

This work includes theatrical elements, so it is necessary to watch the video while listening to the piece. Listening only to music would mean not having experienced the piece as it was conceived.

Follow these instructions to recreate an experience similar to the live performance:

  • Watch in a single session avoiding interruptions of any kind. You should not forward or rewind the video under any circumstances. (The duration of the full video is 13 minutes and 9 seconds)

  • Turn off or set your phone to airplane mode.

  • Disable all notifications of your laptop (mail and reminders).

  • Turn off all the lights in the room.

  • Use the biggest screen available to you, and if possible, use an independent sound system (external speakers or high-fidelity headphones).

  • Turn the YouTube-player volume to the maximum, and adjust the volume of your computer (and/or sound system) to approximately 65% (even if it does not seem loud enough at the beginning). The volume should be adjusted before the video begins, and should not be altered during the performance. The pianissimos and fortissimos are intended to sound that soft/loud, and be as contrasting as they are.
