Abstract

Poetic considerations: In rilievo is an Italian word that means "in relief" to show the poetics of movement and loss of energy that shape a non-linear perception of time through a close look of a virtual moving string. I understand that the loss of energy and momentum is a fundamental factor of movement in the outside world. It could then become a potential element to consider in music composition, being an art of the time. Here, an instrumental setting is taken as a mass and a single meta instrument that partakes in shifting states of a set of harmonically moving particles through the body of a string created via physical modeling programming. Also, this piece is a journey through different states of harmony in time, from more static to vertiginously spinning toward saturation. These processes, mixed with the possibilities of electronic synthesis, bring forth total microtonal capabilities that complete distanced parts of the instrumental section with further subdivisions of the octave, which then filtered, create a sense of perspective to the ensemble.
