Works » By Title » M » Mimetismo (10:40 / 1992)

Imitation is the basis of this work. Imitation of an acoustic source by an electronic source opens the interior space of this work — a space composed of multiple networks and internal reinjections, of abstract compositional games between pure structural entities. The acoustic and electronic components of Mimetismo interact and imitate each other, at times they blend with a sonic material in constant evolution. In this work, the guitar abandons its traditionnal role of soloist and its timbres are mixed with unpredictable materials. This work is a commission from guitarist Arturo Parra, with support from the Canada Council.
