Rust by jppo

Rust belongs to a group of four works that are inspired by nature's elements:
Magma for Violin and electronics; Titanium for piano 4 hands, 2 toy pianos and electronics; Burning Silver for flute, guitar and electronics; Rust for viola and electronics.
Each of these pieces is related to the characteristics of the element in which it is inspired.
In Rust, the idea of a fragile object, which can break at any time, but whose appearance can be confused with the iron, reflects in a piece of music where melodic elements are broken, disperse and are reunited through several gestures and musical phrases. At the same time the hardness of the attacks and the way they are extended by the electronics, try to create the opposition between the weakness of the instrument, and the power of the electronic part.
