Program Notes

Music is an art where time is a very important parameter. Everything is happening now, in this moment of the present.

The piece is carried by a bossa nova rhythm (on the drum set) with a 2-3 clave. The accompaniment of the pleasant, vocal melody is a "partido Alto" figure, which is processed in two notated improvisations for the vibraphone and the marimba.
