Program Notes
Moment(o) Zero is my first work of acousmatic music. The title is symbolic and represents the neutral point of an object that will be set in movement. Before that movement, nothing. After this movement, release of energy, chaos and perception. Throughout the work’s discourse, I try to portray the nonlinear and irreversible movement of an object in a given space, manifesting the system through the formation of fractal images, whose behavior is unstable, unpredictable and with random consequences, originating in small modifications introduced in the object, raising the degree of randomness of the system and re-feeding the chaos.
