Ventum: New Album release with Eddie Mora

Feb, 2023

Tres obras latinoamericanas para flauta y orquesta Orquesta Sinfónica de Heredia

Eddie Mora, director Alejandro Escuer, flauta Alejandro Cardona, Eddie Mora y Gabriela Ortiz, compositores

Las tres obras para flauta solista con acompañamiento de ensambles diversos aquí registradas comparten dos elementos importantes. El primero es que en las tres es posible percibir con clari: dad un espíritu sonoro latinoamericano, logrado no a través de la referencia popular o vernácula, sino a través de asumir desde dentro una postura identitaria de origen regional, pero de alcance universal. El segundo elemento es la presencia del flautista mexicano Alejandro Escuer en los es: trenos de estas tres partituras de Cardona, Mora y Ortiz, de modo que es plenamente congruente que él sea el solista en estas grabaciones.

MÚSICA DESDE EL INTERIOR | IMÁN for solo flute

Like many of you, I have been recording flute videos of pieces conceived during the worldwide confinement due to Covid-19. It has been a journey of self discovery, for I have explored in each of these short videos, different musical ideas that I think they go very well with the solo flute and the aesthetics of not only the modern flutist but also an eager contemporary listener.

To me, the most important thing is to be as expressive as possible through a discourse that is able to establish two simultaneous dialogues that intersect: one between tradition and modernity, and the other between contemporary performance and the musics of the world, which are somehow present in my musical thought through metaphors, deliberate tonal ambiguity, phrasing, breathing and sound.

I truly hope you enjoy the videos. Here is my last rendition, my fourth video for a piece called Imán (magnet)

MÚSICA DESDE EL INTERIOR | 112 segundos

112 segundos for solo flute is a short piece conceived to be the first one of a series of flute music works “MÚSICA DESDE EL INTERIOR” “Music from the Inside” to cope with these hard times of world wide confinement (April 2020) due to COVID-19, hoping music will ease, even for a few seconds, our long hours indoors. Hundreds of concerts and festivals have been cancelled, and we cannot help but to find ways to share our craft and give it away just for your own enjoyment.
