This triptyc is composed of 3 individual movements that are a pale and vague transposition of signs and tracks of a very intense musical sensation, that I barely had, one night long ago in a tropical Latin-American dream. Uruguay , "río de los pájaros" in quechua, played a very important meaning in this dream.
