​

Conceptually, the work explores the tensions between the poetics of the organic and the mechanical, understood as sound representations of phenomena associated with the transitive, the transformative, on the one hand, and the artificial, the synthetic, the technological, on the other, placed in action to produce different types of frictions and meanings.

The composition process of the work was developed within a collaborative dynamic together with the EMC DAMus, through testing sessions of sketches and specific materials of the instrumental practice, to review, modify, adjust them, etc. integrating dialogue with the performers.
