Ur Loak (1998)

Commissioned by Joven Orquesta Nacional de Espana

'My tomorrow will make my yesterday be and my yesterday will never be my tomorrow' says Al-Maari; thus, I have used Proustian arguments for a long time in order to give a verbal image to what cannot naturally be uttered by expressing the idea that music leads to the silence that follows it. I meant thereby that the essence of this music may not only be found within the discourse, the form or the methods which make it up, but also in the mark it has left behind, in the awaken remembrance occurring when music has gone: listening to music being like listening to time going by.
