for sax quartet
program note
The dispersion of the seeds depends on the structure of the fruit. In Aquenios, that empty fruit where the seed floats dryly, the quartet takes different strategies of sound generation from parameterized physical instructions. The materiality of the reed is in the same hierarchy of action as the air column and the fingering. It is from a chaotic emergence, the result of multiple gestural and chamber interactions that are not entirely controllable, that a subtle yet dense weft emerges, like a floating moss. Where the listener can sink and not be exhausted. Just as when we observe the achenes flying carried by the dandelions or hiding among the folded microtextures of the strawberries

Context

A very detailed analysis of this piece can be found in Pablo Araya's dissertation "Una correspondencia metafórico-analógica conceptual entre ciencia y música" in the context of other works by composers Julio Estrada and Samuel Cedillo:
Una correspondencia metafórico-analógica conceptual entre ciencia y música
La presente investigación explica que algunas composiciones actuales -obras instrumentales solistas y de cámara- no siempre consiguen ser caracterizadas o entendidas de manera acabada. Esto se debe a que las mismas se construyen con una materia acústica diferente -por ejemplo, el ruido-.
