...Vocal, Mixed and Electroacoustic
Chamber Music for Drama !
« The electroacoustic works were created from the material used for the plays and then elaborated as independent structures. Sound recordings were realized with the voices of the actors of the National Comedy of Montevideo, to which were added voices and instruments interpreted by the Ars Músicæ Ensemble of Montevideo. »

| 1984 : | Integración 7
(1984) « Integración 7 religiosa o del mas acá for voice, clarinet, organ, synthesizer, vibraphone, cymbals and magnetic tape, and Beauté Magique, for soprano and instrumental ensemble, based on the poetical text Chants de Maldoror of Isidore Ducasse, Comte de Lautréamont, are long continuo's that allow us a time and a type of perception different from habitually, as it happens when rituals are listened; a greater concentration of listening takes place, due to the prolonged duration of complex resonant frameworks for the addition of the harmonics of microintervals, that are resonating in the memory and produce a sensation of atemporality or of moment of integral contemplation. This sensation is so brought by the slow transformation of a cell in semitones that is repeated and been changing imperceptibly by microtones and that represents that represents to me in these works the hope in a human being evolution. Integración 7 contributes a climate of deep inner calm. The treatment of the voice close to the instruments and the electroacoustic elaboration generate a combination of warmth and humanity ». E. Friedler. |

| Electra
(Sófocles's text) « Electra, begins with an introduction in which are integrated the themes that soon are individually developed and that suggest already or the prominent figures of the tragedy, or their different emotions or the diverse situations that are occurring, at psychological level. Here, the vocal clusters symbolize the permanent conscience that we must have of fight feeling. The work represents the absolute necessity of restoring the Justice and the Right that had been transgressed and the obtained result (inside and to the way of the Greek philosophy). » Directed by Eduardo Schinca in 1984 and 1985 at Montevideo (Actors of the Comedia Nacional). |
