LA QUEBRADA DEL GRITO by josehalac published on 2017-08-13T16:19:41Z Composed in 1999, “The Breaking of the Scream” (La quebrada del grito) is one of the pieces that form the syncretic series, electroacoustic music that clashes heterogeneous sound sources like folk aboriginal songs and chants, poems, rhythms, contemporary instrumental and digital techniques, to create musical forms that make sense out of the multiplicity of origins and meanings. Here, I sing a folk song called “Baguala del Tigre”, scream and read a poem by contemporary poet Pablo Anadón, and all is organized in complex ways so that all the original elements are producing musical sense without losing their original power and sense. On the contrary, every source connects with one another, re-signifying the qualities to produce a result that is not the sum of the parts. The Breaking of the Scream won the 1 prize at the Bourges Electroacoustic Music Festival, the New York Foundation for The Arts fellowship, the TRIME award and the American Composers Forum award.
