The EP «Tres Piezas para Oídos Distintos» finishes with «Música para 18 Pasos y 2 Pianos Desfasados» («Music for 18 Steps and 2 Disphased Pianos»), a very minimalist piece written in the last week of March of 2000 and inspired in the Steve Reich's technics of composition. It's a piece for two pianos where all the music is taken from an only musical motive constructed with complex chords along 18 subparts of an only bar. Into a hiperorganizated and rigid structure, this motive always appears in one of four forms (slow, fast, slow and retrogade, fast and retrogade). By the way, one piano is playing an octave higher than the other one. In the beginning the motive is on show: 1st piano --> slow, normal octave 2nd piano --> slow, higher octave 1st piano --> slow, normal octave 2nd piano --> slow and retrogade, higher octave After the brief silence, the new (and main) structure is: FIRST PIANO -------------------------- SECOND PIANO ------------------------------- --------------------------------- fast, normal octave ------------------ fast, higher octave repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat slow, normal octave ----------------- repeat --------------------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat --------------------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- slow, higher octave ------------------------------------------------------------------ repeat ----------------------------------- repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------ slow and retrogade, normal oct. -- slow and retrogade, higher octave ------------------------------------------------------------------ repeat ----------------------------------- repeat ------------------------------------------------------------------ fast and retrogade, normal oct. -- repeat repeat --------------------------------------------------------- repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat --------------------------------------------------------- repeat ----------------------------------- fast and retrogade, higher octave repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat fast, normal octave ------------------ fast, higher octave repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat repeat ----------------------------------- repeat All this in no more than 90 seconds. Finished this cycle, a disonant hit on the first piano disphases this a step to the future in the 18 subparts, and just then other disonant hit but on the second piano disphases it other step but to the past in the 18 subparts. A second cycle begins, and later a third, a fourth... and so on, getting each piano more and more disphase respect the other one. After 9 cycles, the pianos are in the same step or phase again, just the beginning of everything, and here the piece commence its finale with a coda or conclusion full of surprises! «Música para 18 Pasos y 2 Pianos Desfasados» is pure minimalist and mathematical avantgarde, no for all the ears. José Travieso wrote: «this piece is my personal tribute to the american composer Steve Reich's style of counterpoint». Read more on Last.fm.
