Urbana 24 Cycle

© Nicolás Acuña

This cycle includes 24 + 1 compositions.

The goals of this cycle, in no particular order, are:

  1. To write music without constraint for several years.
  2. Not to truly finish a piece, but to produce fragments of a more extensive piece, which includes it.
  3. To break with the classic framework of the composition, many times small and unsatisfactory. A synonym of absurd admiration and recognition.
  4. To build a world in which its parts, interchangeable, may be governed by different rules.
  5. To take part, with my work, in the creative universe of other artists.
  6. To subjugate and adapt the pieces as material, to different contexts in order for them to be a part of a collective work.
  7. To construct, little by little, a Utopia.
  8. To invade, some day, everyday places.
