fuente, 1994

music composition for solo flute
duration: 8 min

This single movement piece was composed for flutist María Nury Polanía. Built upon a dialogue between discernible and non-discernible materials, Fuente explores the instrument’s timbral possibilities, incorporating the performer’s breathing and other physiological sounds.

The title, unrelated to the music, honors Marcel Duchamp’s famous artwork Fountain.
