Iconoclasta Apócrifo

A trio for Clarinet, Guitar and Cello. Guitar is meant to be amplified as needed (and it is slightly amplified in the recording.)

SSC, you always outdo yourself. Graphic scores now? I love that you are exploring that new space (at least from the few pieces I've been able to see from you). During my Masters program I was pushed to write a lot of this time of stuff, and I always enjoyed it. But take note, it is not easy to do right. 

I like the "In C" type ideas in the pulse sections, and the faster passages that you get from those (at points) really help to break up the monotony of the sustained slower portions of the work. 

Pulso 3 is interesting, especially having that "libre" part. I'm curious as to how you coached the players on how to interpret the passages.

In any case, great job, I rarely get to see pieces like this in this forum. So a breath of fresh air.

I also wrote a lot of graphical notation pieces back when I was studying, the last one I had written this way was in 2009, so it was a while and I wanted to try some stuff out. This piece draws a bunch of inspiration from Rituel from Boulez, with the orchestral groups that play independent from one another. I really liked the idea and I wanted to try to do something with the concept.

Luckily everyone who played is really good at improvising, so every time it was something cool, even if it was different. I tend to only really work with musicians who are good improvising when I'm doing this kind of thing, otherwise it's really really awkward lol.

Thanks!
