about
Construção II (2011) by Rafael de Oliveira rolvr.wordpress.com
Construção II is based on the soundscape of a construction site in Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal). The rhythms, harmonies and textures extracted from this soundscape are revealed through a musical narrative, triggered by the piano. The sounds from the construction site are elaborated through an ambiguity between references to the substance of these materials and the abstractions of the electroacoustic composition. The piano works as a mediator between the concrete and the imaginary, taking the role of a dialogue with all these materials and allowing an interaction between the listener and this soundscape full of energy.
