The music of Octavi Rumbau exploits the possibility of creating self-generating material from minimal premises. Organically regular patterns proliferate in the form of processes of increasing or decreasing complexity (following the lead of Phases by Steve Reich, or Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes by György Ligeti) in which certain elements circulate freely within pre-programmed parameters. The perception of time is, indubitably, changed and transformed, released from ends-driven purposes, offering a glimpse of the possibility of a vertical, malleable time. We could say, in fact, that the passage of time and the alteration of perception are the two core elements in Octavi Rumbau’s conception of music.
