Trumta

This piece ponders on the work of art as an elaboration. It comes from thinking the artist as a craftsman who communicates through the manipulation of materials with his own hands. The two percussionists reconstruct the composition sessions: it is a work that is at work in the time of execution. The instrument consists of an unpolished wooden surface mounted on wooden trestles with a contact mic attached to it, a speaker that makes a seat for the musicians and several self made vibrant objects like intervened tuning forks, bouncing mallets, metals and shakers that are put in contact with the amplified surface and also directly to the mic. This operates as a zoom and thus allowing to enter to the micro sound levels.
