Somewhere… Nowhere (2024) ; 10:45
by Claudia Robles-Angel
Independent Artist
The term utopia leads us to think of that ideal place, ‘the perfect place’… but what exactly is such ideal place for each of us? This composition takes us on a journey based on the composer’s own perfect place. Inspired on the dichotomy between weight and lightness, the work begins in the deepness and gradually leads towards a more subtle environment, a space increasingly lighter and volatile that finally dissolves. The dichotomy of the piece is not only reflected in the tension between heaviness and lightness, but also in that perfect place somewhere, which in turn becomes nowhere. Acousmatic piece commissioned by NOW! Festival and Philharmonic Essen (Germany).
