composed in July, 1994, at Estúdio da Glória, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, the piece uses in its compositional process, electric, electronic and acoustic means. The title of the work was chosen in view of the caracteristics of the sounds which give rise to the composition, of a percussive nature, obtained by sforzatto attacks and their natural resonance. A prepared guitar and jewish harps, played by Marcia Taborda were chosen for the creation of these materials. The samples selected were treated with traditional techniques used in electroacoustic studios. The work was first played on August, 1994 at Espaço Cultural Sergio Porto, Rio de Janeiro and also performed in Weill Recital Hall (Carnegie Hall Theatre) on April, 1996 during the third festival of New Music from Latin America, New York,U.S.A
