Description
«Rulfo/ecos I» is part of a cycle of five pieces for violin, viola, violoncello and electronics after the work of Mexican writer Juan Rulfo (1917-1986). His work, consisting of a novel and 17 short stories, depicts rural Mexico at the time of the Mexican Revolution as a world marked by hopelessness and solitude. His rough, unadorned poetic language, deep rooted in his culture, is language of myth, language of remembrance.
The pieces were initially intended as studies on melodic writing for the later music theatre work «Journey to Comala» (2017). In the case of «Rulfo/ecos I» descending sequences based on very high natural harmonics are captured and overlapped by the electronics and transformed in slowly changing harmonic fields. The descending movement in Rulfo’s novel «Pedro Páramo» can be seen as a fundamental motivic element related to a change of state, a border crossing approaching an endpoint. This point, at the same time vintage and vanishing point, is in Rulfo’s fictional space always death.
