Music of the present for three surrealist works of Buñuel

In the catalog of Matalón there are two big series. On the one hand, the cycle Traces ( Traces ), for soloists and electronic instruments processed in real time. And on the other hand, the series entitled Trames ( Tramas ), which also proposes a dialogue between a soloist and an instrumental ensemble (or "acoustic" group), but without the participation of the electronics. Matalón develops on his Frames : "it is a little idea of ​​the concert, revisited." In all my ensemble music, the individual always plays a leading role, but not one, but everything. Metropolis for sixteen musicians, there are at least twelve solos of electronic instruments, and this is a constant of all my music: the individual within the group ". Moreover, the interaction between soloists and electronics promotes a new form of polyphony : "We have the possibility of superimposing many sound plans, for me the counterpoint of today is the one: from the work of the plans, you had the tonal system, which at the same time had to be vertical and horizontal.Today, there is no tonal system, it is necessary to make these plans coexist, to complete each other , etc. This idea of ​​ polyphony of aircraft ] is something that interests me, especially in these Traces .
