ENRICO CHAPELA BARBA
COMPOSER
DÍNAMO
Guitar duo
Commissioned by guitarist Jaime Márquez, Mexico (2022).
Originally considered different phenomena, the magnetic field and electrical energy are complementary manifestations of the electromagnetic force. Rotating magnetic fields induce electrical currents, just as circulating electrons generate magnetic fields. A dynamo is a machine that transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy from magnetic motion.
Dínamo, for guitar duo, represents this duality of magnetism and electricity, where both instruments attract and repel each other, induce and conduct, resonate and provide feedback, seeking to generate pure aesthetic energy from the movement of mechanical waves.
