De l’Infinito Universo et Mondi

The coexistance of very different languages in one musical flow, could provoke a kind of listening which creates its own perspectives of attention through the music, eventually, finding different "paths" along the piece in successive listenings. This idea, at the origin of the conception of the piece, developed itself towards the composition of a plurality of "musical worlds", with different sound qualities, spaces and developement in time, rich in themselves and yet, allowing for a certain transparency. This balance between richness and transparency, not unrelated to poliphonic writing, became, finally, one of the most fascinating aspects of the compositional process. Under these premises, it came as a natural need, to exploit the potentialities of clarity and characterization wich the space, the musical and the physical, can offer to synthetic sound in particular; therefor the decision to produce an 8-channel tape. The title of the piece comes from a book of Giordano Bruno, but it must be said that the music has no relationship to the contents of the book. The piece was commissioned by the C.D.M.C. of Madrid, realized at the studio of the composer, and the final processing and mix-down happening at the Institut fur Musik und Akustik of the Zentrum fur Kunst- und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe.
