Miguel A. García and Daniel Simon offer a severe diptych. Although both pieces are constructed similarly on superimposed layers struck here and there by incisive elements, they are quite distinct in character. The second, to become appears intense, grave, as do its sounds. Drift, which opens the diptych, is more brilliant; it's lighter. But its abrupt ending prepares us for what follows. The duration of both pieces, approximately five minutes each, invites the listener to listen repeatedly. In this sense, I specially recommend listening to drift for the second time right after to become, thus transforming the diptych into a triptych where to become is the central element. As you listen, drift reaches depths strengthened by to become that, in first instance (or at least that is what happened to the undersigned) had nearly passed unnoticed.
Miguel A. García y Daniel Simon nos ofrecen un díptico severo. Pese a que ambas piezas están construidas de modo similar, sobre capas superpuestas atravesadas en ciertos momentos por elementos incisivos, poseen un carácter bien distinto. La segunda, to become aparece intensa, grave, como sus sonidos. drift, que abre el díptico, resulta más brillante, más liviana. Pero su final abrupto nos prepara para lo que sigue. La duración de las dos piezas, en torno a los cinco minutos cada una, invita al oyente a una repetida escucha de las mismas. En este sentido, recomiendo especialmente escuchar drift por segunda vez justo después de to become, convirtiendo el díptico en un tríptico con to become como elemento central. En esa escucha, drift alcanza profundidades potenciadas por to become que, en una primera aproximación (o al menos así le ocurrió al que firma estas líneas) habían pasado casi desapercibidas.
