Anathema - Contreras Vázquez, Manuel 1977- (BabelScores, 2010)
The historical meaning of this word comes from Judaism to Christianity; from malediction to salvation sign; from something separated for God after a pagan contamination, until the Easter Lamb of the New Testament. The ambiguity of Anathema, serves as an impulse to create an opening trajectory of the music texture, the harmony and dynamic. The path of the work comes from heterogeneous and violent events, organized by milestones or landmarks on chords and transferred through the register, expanding gradually through the acoustic space. Then, a furious tingling will open a constellation of pin notes, arriving to a delicate net of harmonics, slightly stressed by the harp. The end is a free-fall by the scordatura of the strings beyond the lower limit of their registers
