Del 24 al 28 de Septiembre se llevaó a cabo en el CMMAS de Morelia, México el 20o Festival “Visiones Sonoras”. El CMMAS es un espacio único a nivel planetario para la música electroacústica, mixta, performática, vanguardista, multimedial, interactiva, y todo el universo experimental que gira en torno a la música con el uso de nuevas tecnologías. Este año, el Festival se realizó en honor a la memoria del gran compositor y amigo Javier Alvarez que nos dejó recientemente, y con el que tuve la fortuna de construir una relación de amistad a lo largo del tiempo.
En “Visiones Sonoras 20” se proyectó mi audiovisual “Tiempos de Silencio” (Sin tiempo VIa) donde trabajé con Gabriel Dellarosa quien tuvo a su cargo la edición de imagen y animación.
El evento fue un exito enorme con gran concurrencia de público. Es una enorme alegría haber participado con esta obra en tan importante evento. Mis felicitaciones para Rodrigo Sigal y todo el equipo del CMMAS por este vigésimo Festival….!!From September 24 to 28, the 20th edition of the “Visiones Sonoras” Festival was held at the CMMAS in Morelia, Mexico. A unique space on the planetary level for electroacoustic, mixed, performative, avant-garde, multimedia, interactive music, and the entire experimental universe that revolves around music using new technologies. This year, the Festival was held as a tribute to the memory of the great composer and friend Javier Alvarez who recently left us, and with whom I had the fortune to create a friendship relation over time.
My audiovisual “Tiempos de Silencio” (Sin Tiempo VIa) in which I worked with Gabriel Dellarosa who was in charge of the image edition and animation, was presented at the “Visiones Sonoras 20” concerts.
The whole event was a great success, with a very enthusiastic public. Participating in this great event with this piece was a great joy. My congratulations to Rodrigo Sigal and the entire CMMAS team for this 20th Festival…!!
