Sound piece in three movements for modified turntables, electronics, cello and percussion.
SCRATCHING // DERMIS, a sound piece that explores the scratching technique popularized by Hip Hop and Rap musicians in the 80s. Inspired by the words of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy on the skin as a place of passage and transit (The Fragile Skin of the World, 2021), Rivas evokes a quasi-tactile sound experience. The title plays with the double meaning between scratching and the dermis under the skin, and is divided into three interconnected parts that use improvisation, play and chance to create dynamics, rhythms, atmospheres and textures that explore the uncertain, the alien and the unknown through gesture and musical interpretation.
