Work introduction
The work was based on Joi Barrios-Leblanc's poem BAMBOO CURSE about the 2013 powerful typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) that destroyed and submerged the province of Leyte in the Philippines. AGOS (Flow), tries to capture the different emotions and reactions derived from experiencing this natural phenomenon that took the lives of thousands of Filipinos. Using the poetry as basis of structural foundation of the work, and mostly employing submerged tonality (inversion of overtone series), the music flows to its various segments in liquid form, in non-obtrusive manner.
