Sample excerpt

Adentro de una sola nota hay una ciudad entera, armónicos que nadie escucha porque no los busca. Así es la gente: suena una cosa y trae adentro veinte más.

Escucha el interior del sonido, no lo que dice, lo que lleva. Todo lo que suena está hecho de cosas que solas no sonarían.

Workshop noteImpersonal, presente, analítica. El espectralismo parte del análisis del timbre: la letra debe hablar de lo que hay dentro del sonido. A 50 BPM cada palabra dura mucho; escribe pocas y abiertas.
