Trombonsis for trombone tape and Live Electronics (MaxMsp).

Firstly, Trombonsis approaches the typical idea of using music technology to extend the sonorities of a solo instrument, but It goes beyond that in the way both elements are related, (the instrument and its expanded results). To explain that I included different 'scenes' where instrumental and electronics have different roles.

Visual elements are still very important in the process of creation.Secondly, the work explores the immense possibilities of the trombone as a 'resonator' which can be used to experiment with a variety of timbres and compositional techniques.
The techniques implemented range from:

a) focusing - unfocusing musical elements
b) moving background - foreground their presence.
c) integrating -disintegrating each other.

The flow and development of the music is inspired by several human microcosmic phenomenas which are visualised as imaginary landscapes in the composers mind. Images are represented as visual music scenes.
As an example of one of the microscopic landscapes that stimulated me to write music we find the thrombosis. This phenomena can be describe as clots that form in the deeper veins. It most often occur as a result of poor or sluggish blood flow through the veins and/or increased the stickiness of the blood, making it more likely to clot. <Can you give an example of another microcosmic phenomena?>
Trombonsis was premiered? the at the 33rd RMA <give full title here, not RMA> conference by Barrie Webb, whose input on technical issues was invaluable. It was premiered and played in numerous occasions by Paul Wilson and the Spanish trombonist Carlos Gil and broadcasted on Radio Nacional de España.
