STRIBOG

In Slavic mythology, Stribog is the god of wind and storms. This metaludio is also the cadenza of my piano concerto Guanapay. Cluster glissandi convey the tempestuous nature of the programmatic subject. For this reason, fingerless gloves must be worn to execute these passages. The musical material in Stribog is derived from the mathematical constant Pi. Although there are no extended techniques in this metaludio, psychoacoustics play a very important role in the conception of its sonorities.
