The title hidden tracks is ambiguous. First of all, the piece is almost throughout imagined as 'multi-track', with layers (in the sense of sound tracks) that partly overlay each other, partly suddenly appear from the background. The composition deals with 'hidden' lines, sounds at the perception threshold, with side effects of the accordion sound which -observed, so to speak, under a compositional 'microscope' - develop a special allure: that is the vertical component. The title has also a horizontal meaning: a 'hidden track' is a piece on a record without a track number that is not mentioned on the cover either. In most cases, a 'hidden track' follows after a longer break after the (presumably) last piece on the record; often this track contains strange sounds, noise or other surprising elements. 'Hidden tracks' are surrounded by a nimbus of the mysterious and subversive. This effect is being used rather often throughout the piece: again and again, it seems to have ended but continues after a pause. The expectation of the listener and the attentiveness also for the tiniest events rises; the performance receives an almost scenic character. hidden tracks was partly composed in August 2008 during a stay at the Kunstlerhaus Lukas in Ahrenshoop at the shores of the Baltic Sea. The work was accompanied by many walks on the beach - again and again, I caught a sight on tracks in the sand that became overlaid by other tracks, wiped out by the wind and the waves...

Dieses Stuck durchlauft eine Reise durch die Grenzen des Instruments, genau wie Arquitecturas de espejos nicht nur durch die extremen Register, sondern auch durch die Manipulation und Verzerrung des Klangs durch neue Instrumentaltechniken (erstickte Tone, Schatten zwischen Luft, Gerausch und Tonhohen, Wiederholungen, komplexe Horwahrnehmungen usw.). Mit Arquitecturas de espejos hat dieses Werk verschiedene Verbindungen, und ich merke, warum das Akkordeon mir ganz nah in meiner eigenen Musik bleibt. 2004 komponiert, wurde Arquitecturas del silencio im Jahr darauf von Esteban Algora in Cagliari uraufgefuhrt. Das Werk ist ihm auch gewidmet. (Jose M. Sanchez-Verdu) CD: Esteban Algora (accordeon) CD Columna Musica, 1 CMO142 Bibliography: Garcia del Busto , Jose Luis: Arquitecturas de la ausencia de Jose M.
