Live act from the use of hardware. The work consists of a succession of musical ideas developed under the creative possibilities and limitations of the Korg Electribe EMX and ESX sequencers. The ideas or musical pieces take shape from a process of writing on the sequencer and improvisation. About the sequenced material is shaped by the timbral characteristics of percussions and melodies in the digital synthesis engines typical of the electribes and in modular synthesizers. The modular system receives musical information via MIDI messages from the sequencers and from this the timbral characteristics are shaped already in a completely analog environment. the EMX electribe is responsible for triggering and processing samples of sampled synth percussion and ancestral voices. The modular system was assembled by hand and contains two subsystems: a drum machine based on a topographic sequencer and a subtractive synthesis voice. On the other hand, the overall sound result is mainly given by a high degree of improvisation which affects the creative process in its different stages, until it ends in a sea of live, latent sounds, at the mercy of the sensibility of the interpreters in a spontaneous way.
