| VIDEOCOMPOSITION I 2004-2005 The first videos explicitly focus on the interconnection between sound and image, calling them videocompositions. The soundtrack is produced by wordless abstract electroacoustic composition. Elaborated from analogue sounds taken from a stream or the sea, raw sound during the shooting of the image or live improvisation to accompany a silent video.

extract from the video Balsamic |
Balsamic 2005 / 9 min. / 4:3 / electroacoustic composition painting: Virginia Fernandez Premiere: Entredos, Madrid, 2005 The videocomposition Balsamic is an imaginative journey into the depths of desire between attraction and rejection, longing and disgust, delight and violence. The visual part is composed of shots of different liquids and plants, carnal or human objects directly from a scanner, which were then manipulated and animated on the computer. Together with an electroacoustic composition of paper and corrugated cardboard sounds, the video lives by its surprising images, its comings and goings, its changing colours, between dark red, pink, light yellow and grey. Balsamic tells the story of an intense emotional experience that ended definitively with this video. |

Retiendas The recordings of the dancer María Cruz Planchuelo as well as of objects found on the site produce a fluctuating movement between present and past, timeliness and memory, life and death. The video is silent and is presented with live music, a free improvisation with flutes, voice and live electronics, by Ebba Rohweder. |
| El Atazar 2004 / 4 min. / 4:3 / electroacoustic composition Premiere: X Festival Ecuatoriano de Música Contemporánea, Quito/Ecuador, 2006 The music in this video is based on sounds recorded from a stream and then modified in the computer, thus producing melodies and rhythms of a water that begins to breathe, talk and sing. Landscape photographs, taken in detail of different plants, trees and stones, are then animated, superimposed and manipulated on the computer. They constitute the visuals of this videocomposition. Music and images are here a play of impressions, between modification, abstraction and mechanisation of the landscape, with rapid changes and fluctuating movements. A thumbnail of less than 4 minutes. |
