impossible translations

Impossible translations is a series of works for acoustic instruments an simultaneous video, in which I try to establish a relationship between music and the outside world by means of a rather arbitrary translation of a non musical input (usually videos or still images) into a playable instrumental score.

Rather than works about synesthesia, they are works that try to force a relationship in order to put together two incompatible layers, about the paradox of an impossible music made possible through the materialization of its impossible translation.
