Passacaglia - Manuel Torralba

Although historical tradition states that a passacaglia must have variations on the bass, the cornerstone of this piece is the trill. It ranges from a clear statement at the beginning to a more subtle, wide "quasi tremolo" with harmonics and natural notes. The cello solo creates liminal spaces and shapes, while the electronics use the cello's resonant residue to complement the texture. Thank you to Mr. Eren Gümrükçüoğlu for the assistance with the electronics and to the wonderful cellist Mr. Evan Jones
