DEDICATORIAS es una serie de 60 piezas sonoras de 1 minuto de duración, realizadas en su mayor parte entre 2013 y 2015. La lista de dedicatarios ni es exhaustiva ni podría serlo. Es arte subjetivo, deudor de técnicas, influencias y materiales muy diversos: residuos sonoros iluminados en su confrontación, metamorfosis y mezcla, que actualizan y cuestionan el drama de los soportes y los medios. Entre ellos, la radio es referencia primordial.

En estas miniaturas hay lugar para el humor, la ironía, la abstracción, el proceso, la elegía, el juego, lo inesperado. Y también para una melancolía que se impone desde un recuerdo apenas recobrado.

DEDICATIONS is a series of 1-minute sound works, dedicated to people who have been important in my life for various reasons. The list is neither exhaustive nor could it be. It is art subjective, debtor of very diverse materials that function as quotes, when not as “apropriations” in a post-modern spirit, They are sound waste illuminated by their confrontation, metamorphosis, and mixing, that update and question the drama of technological supports and media for which, perhaps, were created. Among those media, radio is primary reference, not only for autobiographical reasons.

In these works, there is a place for humor, irony, abstraction, process, the game, the unexpected. And also for a melancholy which is imposed from a barely regained memory.
