"To me, MARIA DE ALVEAR composes like a natural phenomenon: guided not as much by the coming and going of ideas and emotions, nor addressing them, but like a law of nature impassively displaying a sort of automatic writing that moves the body and courses through the psyche, ultimately demanding full awareness." (Reinier van Houdt) The music is sometimes inaudible, then again shattering, the stricken energy almost bordering to the effect of nuclear fusion. It´s a music simultaneously full and empty: the wealth it displays doesn´t lie in things but in the immeasurable space in which things are moved by a sometimes tremendous force. LLENA means "full" and the piece is a kind of circular ritual in which a transformation takes place: after descending from on high into the range of the ear the music first establishes a natural flow, then settling into a long stasis. Then forces are gathered and developed to destroy, establish or create - but most of all to transform things. Then gradually the long stasis moves back into the music again, transformed, ending as it were ad infinitum and the piece is full circle again.
