SUN SYNERGIES WITH THE SUN

I have released this new piano album:

'Sun Synergies With The Sun'

In 2018 I made a little series of seven drawings titled "Sun Synergies With The Sun". This early Autumn 2020 I made seven piano pieces using those drawings as music scores, not in the sense of emulating the visual patterns of the drawings with sounds, but using the drawings as some type of remembrance, the vehicle with which remembering what made me make those images, so that using the same source to make the music. Basically I used the drawings to get in contact with the inner Sun and, once "there", letting the music flow.

In each track I have included the corresponding drawing.

Reflections On Blue

Thirteen piano works written between August and September 2020.

This album is compounded by some improvisations, some so called neo-classical works and some pieces composed in an "impressionist" way. Somehow a transit between my former piano work, which was mostly composed within the neo-classical spectrum, and the most recent path I've taken, which tends more for the borders between tonality and "free atonality". 

The fact that this album is a transit doesn't make it less definite than the others, quite the contrary. Actually it marks an inflection point in my music and life, a point where all the path travelled has been reviewed and wide new perspectives bloomed.

IN DREAM

This is my new piano album, 'In Dream', which I have just released on bandcamp. A selection of the piano pieces I composed and recorded between Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020. It's been a long time I hadn't released a piano work. Wish you enjoy it.

THREE SONGS OF SUN-NOSTALGIA

Three piano atmospheric works I made in 2019, and gathered together around this poem I wrote during those days (which belongs to my book of poems "Sunwards"):

"Ghost immortal fragrance of Exile in bloom
That of moss-covered tombstones in gorgeous flame
For this Sarcophagus is hidden in the very center of the Sun
The very nucleus of Sun-shrine plasma burning -our star-
Point of highest temperature in this whole galaxy
Where all things imaginable are still just fire -within fire-
Till they become, blooming, in our red gold ecstasy
Till they fade again in dreary songs of Sun-Nostalgia"

-Álvaro Barcala-
