-Contra las cuerdas

why did I make this piece:

(On the ropes)

Duo for electric cello and cellist who dances with the violoncello and with the case of the violoncello and on the contrary.

I play violoncello against the world. I dance against the words, that so many times have left me in the stockade. If I haven´t been against something it is that I haven´t tried to understand it. I play in self-defense, with real ammunition. A-D-G-C and I crash my body against those four strings. My body. The breath. The children playing in the park. The public transport. Everything is violoncello.
