This piece is the starting point of a sound triptych born as a result of my attendance at a concert of Musica Ficta, where the Tomás Luis de Victoria ́s eighteen responsories was interpreted. My triptych comprises the works: 18. Responso I (2015), Gesang der toten Kinder. Musik und Dokument. Responso II (2012), and Responso III (2014).
The piece is a work of concrete music, in stereo, and is divided in 18 parts of 15 seconds. The last part has 18 seconds. At the same time, each part is divided in three sections.
Sounds: hammer, water flowing, bolt, car, glass bottles, knives, coins, vocal sounds made by me. The young actor José Moreno, my friend, reads the sentence: Allá, en el fondo, está la muerte, sentence invented by me.
I have recorded all sounds.
The sounds have been processed with: Pro Tools, Ableton Live 9 and Max/MSP 6.
