“Verbena” (open air dance band) is tradition in Spain, a country used to looking at other people´s celebrations. I was interested in working with the idea of the end of the party: change, crisis, following the leftovers produced by disintegration.
Music, summer, work, money, all disappears when winter arrives for musicians belonging to a time that is slowly fading away. With that premise as the basis, I play with silence and noise. I create a sonorous body as resonance of the most private feelings of characters from a different time.That is why I shut my ears and I look at the “verbena” and I listen to how the party ends.
