Short Description
The "Cierzo" is a wind typical of Zaragoza (Spain), where the climate is very hard sometimes. The work was dedicated to Alejandra Sottile, who studied in that city, which keeps important bond. In electronics the wind appears at different times as a reference to this climate, mixed with synthesized sounds. The harpsichord dialogue and constantly mixed with electronics, creating the feeling of a "hyper-instrument" resulting from the sum of the solo part and pre-recorded sounds.
Additional Information
From the technical point of view the piece explores different textures and resources of contemporary harpsichord, always trying to integrate with electronics.
