Il Silenzio del Pendolo

The composer says:In music, the concept of silence, the absence of sound, is just as significant as the actual sound that is contained in each note of a score. At times there is this instance when everything that surrounds man stops vibrating, which enables the mind to hear one’s thoughts and give shape to one’s dreams. In this composition for guitar the Silence of the Pendulum is not its own hush and neither is it a rip in the fabric of time fixing each moment at a given point in the universe. It is instead, “the moment when a human being, totally taken by art, philosophy or nature, is able to cut himself from everything that surrounds him and in which he does not have any interest, ending up not even feeling the very reality of time.
