English and Spanish introduction:

Seh1tis has been created for the semi-modular analog synthesizer "Dark Energy" Mk1, of the German company Doepfer. The composition process of this piece is completely different from my previous works: there is no score; a certain room for interpretation, with a strong influence of free improvisation; the chosen musical elements are very different to the ones I used to use, and most importantly: there is a strong individualistic element as a response to the need of having a direct and tangible contact with the creation of music, and to performing it myself. This idea of performing is an essential feature that defines many characteristics of the instrumentation: despite the simplicity of the synthesizer used (a single oscillator with a filter and 2 LFOs) in seh1tis I search for a constant interaction with the instrument. All elements are generated live with the synthesizer and the two pedals, aiming to increase the impression of playing an instrument and not a machine.

The full version of the piece includes a lecture of my poem semilla (Spanish for seed) that I like to read only in live performances.

Seh1tis is the possible word for "seed" in Proto-Indo-European. It refers to the doubt experienced of those who are about to become what they're not.

Instruments used: Dark Energy, Morley volume pedal, CryBaby wah pedal.

Seh1tis ha sido creada para sintetizador semimodular analógico "Dark Energy" Mk1, de la empresa alemana Doepfer. La composición de la pieza ha sido completamente diferente a mis obras previas: no hay partitura, hay un cierto margen en la interpretación con una influencia considerable de improvisación libre, los elementos musicales elegidos son muy diferentes a los que me eran habituales, y sobretodo, hay un importante elemento individualista como respuesta a la necesidad de tener un contacto directo y tangible con la creación musical y de poder interpretarla yo mismo. Es esa idea de interpretación un rasgo esencial dentro de las características de la instrumentación: a pesar de ceñirme a la simplicidad del sintetizador utilizado (un solo oscilador con un filtro y 2 LFOs) en seh1tis busco una constante interacción con el instrumento. Todos los elementos se generan en vivo con el sintetizador y los dos pedales, con el objetivo de acrecentar la impresión de estar ante un instrumento y no ante una máquina.

La versión completa de la pieza incluye la lectura de mi poema semilla que sólo me gusta leer en las interpretaciones en vivo.

Seh1tis es la posible palabra en proto-indo-europeo para definir "semilla". Hace referencia a la duda propia de quienes están a punto de ser aquello que no son.

Instrumentos usados: Dark Energy, pedal de volumen Morley, pedal wah CryBaby."
