Description of Style |
"Veneno" (poison) is a term used commonly in Caribbean popular music and refers to a type of musical alienation, which mainly comes about while playing: "poisoning" musical pieces does not mean the blatant use of standard improvisation and arrangement techniques: the forms are to be handled with extreme care (replacement of harmonies, notes which are alien to the harmony, new rhythmical patterns, etc.). It is important to find the right dosage: a good "poisoner" is conscious of the fact that the "veneno" should be addictive and not lethal.
In my work I use a similar technique, but not within the framework of functional harmonics and rhythm. Also, genuine Latin American rhythms are not to be found in my language, even though my treatment of rhythm can be found to have its roots there.
I "poisoned" an entire work of mine, composed in 1994: 'Three Studies for a Crucifixion' with various dosages according to the array of instruments and formal or dramaturgical need.
At present I am busy "poisoning" some other works.
Jorge Sánchez-Chiong, 1996
