Program notes:

Oxymoron is a rhetorical figure that consists of the confrontation of two words of opposite sign (example: eternal instant). This concept is also extended to the opposition of two phrases of opposite sign.

The main idea of ​​this work revolves around this concept and its application in different parameters of music such as height, articulation, dynamics, agogic, timbre, among others.

The structure of the work is determined by the superposition of these different parameters that are developing a fabric that is transformed at all times.
