'Variations for Spinning Tops’ are a set of exercises that emerge from traditional
top games and the encounter of that spinning body with different materials. In ‘Variation
n.º 1’ sound
potencialities of ceramic tops that whistle particular tones due to its form
and rotation are explored through gesture and action. Body, matter and movement
come into play to compose using the top as a sound instrument that occupies and
distributes itself in space in random trajectories, creating a spatialized
sound dimension where attentive listening and intervals of silence sublimate
moments of tension, hypnosis and meditation.
