"Móvil, cambiante" (2017)

Móvil, cambiante is a work for 14 players written for the ensemble Klangforum of Vienna, commissioned by the Festival Internacional Cervantino with support from the E. von Siemens Foundation. It had a remarkable premiere during Klangforum's first historic concert in my country, receiving enthusiastic acclaim for its innovative textures and dynamic contrasts.
