Between moments

Between Moments is based on the idea of sound as a gesture that exists in the space between one instant and the next. It is not measured time that shapes the music, but its perception: breath, anticipation, and the vibration that precedes or follows an impulse.

The flute embodies the dimension of breath, lightness, and an upward tension: it alternates full tones, transitions into air sound, and rapid gestures that seem to arise from an inner impulse. The bass drum, on the other hand, represents the body, the pulse, and a deeper memory: a sound that observes, responds, attempts a dialogue, and at times remains suspended within its physical limits.

The two instruments establish a relationship built on proximity and distance, invitation and hesitation, like two presences that seek each other without ever fully coinciding. Their roles shift, timbres imitate one another, and gestures transform, creating an unstable balance in which each sound becomes an echo of the other.

The piece alternates suspended moments with sudden gestural intensifications. In the central section, identities blur: the bass drum imitates, breathes, and pulses; the flute fragments and restrains itself, as if the identity of sound itself were in flux.

The conclusion offers no resolution, but rather a dissolution: a sound that fades into breath, leaving open the space between moments, a fragile and luminous place where music continues to resonate even after silence.
