Beginning of the composer’s lifetime.
About this piece
Barradas' composition "Fabricación," the closing piece of her renowned Triptych, made its debut in Madrid in 1922. This composition is a testament to the influence of the Italian futurist movement of the early 20th century. Like the Italian futurists, who ardently embraced the new industrial civilization of their time, "Fabricación" mirrors the clamor of factories, encapsulating the spirit of the era.
With innovative musical techniques, Barradas captures the chaotic ambiance of machinery and clanging metals, offering a sonic reflection of the evolving industrial landscape. Her work resonates with the futurists' ideals, providing a vivid and evocative tribute to the industrial age and its profound impact on both art and society.
