Sample excerpt

Grabé la puerta de mi casa abriéndose, la puse a la mitad de velocidad y sonó a mar. Todo lo que suena guarda otro sonido adentro, solo hay que darle tiempo y darle vuelta.

Escucha otra vez, más despacio, lo que creías reconocer. Nada suena a lo que es cuando le cambias la velocidad.

Workshop notePrimera persona, presente, procesual. La electroacústica trabaja con sonidos concretos: la letra debe nombrar el objeto grabado. Sin tempo fijo, escribe frases que puedan estirarse o cortarse en el montaje.
