„LBNs are pieces that emerged in the pandemic context as an alternative to resist the onslaught of time after a great personal crisis. They began as a kind of indulgence, as an embrace that I gave myself to forgive myself, to feel good, to see myself with tenderness and to contemplate existence and life for a moment, by way of simple relations between numbers.
That is why the harmonic relations used correspond only to proportions between the integers from 1 to 31. For this I used a patch that I write in SuperCollider to generate and sequence these proportions algorithmically, turning a very technical aspect such as music programming, digital instruments design and extended tuning systems, a simple tool of musical expression that can at the same time generate pieces of simple and beauty music that I perform freely in my live coding practice, this piece is the fourth result of this system.
Just harmonies, to avoid tensions.“
