Rust belongs to a group of 4 works inspired in natural elements: Magma for violin and electronics; Titanium for 4-hands piano, 2 toy pianos and electronics; Burning Silver for flute, guitar and electronics; Rust for viola and electronics. Each one of these pieces is related with its element´s characteristics. In the specific case of Rust, it is based on the idea of a fragile object, that can fall apart at any moment, but whose appearence may be confused with iron. This relationship creates a work, in which the melodic elements often break, spread and are then reunited in several musical gestures and phrases. Simultaneously, the hardness of the attacks and some musical excerpts, as well as the way they are followed by the electronics, intends to create an antithesis between the fragility of the instrument that plays them and the strenght, with which the electronic support is integrated in the musical text.
