The word “Pendulum” is a reference to the strong presence of concrete sounds that were produced out of pendular movments: playground’s swings, hammocks, doors, bells and windows. Along with these sounds are other ones derived from improvisations on different kinds of papers, as well as some recordings of electrodomestic devices. Most of the sounds are really concret ones, in other words, they are shown in its pure state, easly recognizable. Only a few of them were synthesized on Supercollider’s environment. The piece was composed at Studio PANaroma and premiered in Cologne (Germany) on July 2015.
