Texturas Sonoras || Misterio y Suspenso

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Today I want to share this compositional exercise that I began with the creation of a short story of suspense and mystery. The track I composed begins with the sharp and tenuto sound of a row of violins that insistently accompanies a mysterious and icy melody of fifths played by the piano. Low frequency sounds emerge from nowhere to add more tension to the sequence. Finally the broken arpeggios of the piano lead the short work to its end.

Perhaps, accompanying the reading of the story with the musical atmosphere that derived from the text, will make your skin crawl...

A Mask and a Hammer

I was a happy and outgoing girl, until the day everything changed.
He used to play in the garden every afternoon while Mom washed the dishes and watched me from the kitchen window.
One particular afternoon the neighbor was listening to music at a very high volume, so loud that he could not hear the cars passing by on the avenue. From my garden I could only hear that metallic and noisy sound that electric guitars produce.
I looked towards the kitchen to tell mom that she couldn't stand the music and then I saw that shadow behind her...
little by little she was getting closer... I was yelling at mom to warn her of the danger but she wouldn't listen to me... A few seconds later I could see a man
wearing a mask and in his hand, a hammer... After splashing my mother's blood on the window, the man quickly fled...
the music stopped playing... everything was silent as if time had stopped... perhaps I spent an hour in that state... little by little I began to react and hear a voice that told me - Daughter, what happen to you? Daughter, answer me! -It was my father who just came from his work...

Forty years after that terrible day, my father died. Before giving his last breath he handed me an envelope with an old key and,
Pointing to an old trunk, he managed to mutter "Per..." and he died.

In the trunk there was only a mask and a hammer.



Hoy quiero compartir este ejercicio compositivo que comencé con la creación de un pequeño relato de suspenso y misterio. El track que compuse empieza con el punzante y tenuto sonido de una fila de violines que acompaña insistentemente una misteriosa y gélida melodía de quintas tocada por el piano. Sonidos de baja frecuencia emergen de la nada para aportar más tensión a la secuencia. Finalmente los arpegios quebrados del piano conducen la breve obra hasta su final.

Quizás, acompañar la lectura del relato con el ambiente musical que derivó del texto, te haga erizar la piel...

Una Máscara y un Martillo

Yo era una niña feliz y extrovertida, hasta el día en que todo cambió.
Solía jugar todas las tardes en el jardín mientras mamá lavaba los platos y me veía desde la ventana de la cocina.
Una tarde en particular el vecino oía música a muy alto volumen, tan alto que no podía escuchar los carros que pasaban por la avenida. Desde mi jardín sólo podía oírse ese sonido metálico y ruidoso que producen las guitarras eléctricas.
Miré hacia la cocina para decirle a mamá que no soportaba la música y entonces vi esa sombra detrás de ella...
poco a poco se iba acercando... yo le gritaba a mamá para advertirle del peligro pero ella no me escuchaba... Unos segundos después pude ver a un hombre
con una máscara y en su mano, un martillo... Después de salpicar la ventana con la sangre de mi madre, el hombre huyó rápidamente...
la música dejó de sonar... todo se quedó en silencio como si el tiempo se hubiera detenido... quizás pasé una hora en ese estado... poco a poco comencé a reaccionar y a oír una voz que me decía - Hija, qué te pasa? ¡Hija, contéstame! - Era mi padre que acaba de llegar de su trabajo...

Después de cuarenta años de aquel terrible día, murió mi padre. Antes de dar su último suspiro me entregó un sobre con una antigua llave y,
señalando un viejo baúl, alcanzó a murmurar - Per...- y murió.

En el baúl sólo había una máscara y un martillo.
