Juan Carlos Vasquez – Dorep Ámpora – United States/Finland

Dorep Ámpora is an audiovisual piece for percussion and electronics guided in three parts reacting to graphic scores. The title is a reorganization of the characters contained in Pedro Páramo, a novel by Juan Rulfo. In the novel, multiple stories blend with each other, and the narrative line does not unfold in a precise chronological order. Instead, there are three main guiding structures that generate a type of narrative that is associative, rather than chronological.
