Hurakán (2022): Score (pdf)
Hurakán is a triptych inspired by the pre-hispanic god of hurricanes called 'Hurakán,' and it explores the three main stages that storms undergo. Namely: evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
I was particularly interested in exploring both the symbolic associations of each stage—as depicted in pre-hispanic myth and visual art (ex. image on the cover)—as well as the environmental processes explained by science. Hence the title of the movements: I. Ascension, II. Color crystallization, III. Prismatic precipitation.
To this end, the first movement features a series of ascending motives. The second movement showcases a vibraphone solo and a series of rifs clashing into each other. Lastly, the third movement explores color and mechanics in an elusive texture akin to liquid crystals.
