Rights In Flux | Identity´s Journey

Client: Nazaret Vázquez

Colab. w/ Lucas Ortiz

Brooklyn, NYC

Year: 2023


Soundtrack for Rights In Flux by Nazaret Vázquez, which was featured in Lucas Ortiz Estefanell's installation in Brooklyn, NYC. It played continuously from November 29th to December 3rd.

The music represents an infinite staircase, symbolizing the hardship and weight of each step in the quest for identity when it is taken away by disaster.

The use of a chromatic scale, step by step, mirrors those stairs; and the sonic effect of the "Shepard tone" blurs the beginning and end of the staircase.

The piece is designed to loop endlessly; there's a brief excerpt to listen to in the link.
