Leftover sounds, ruins that do not belong to the glory of ordered sounds, what we understand as a formal composition. Resonances that, given the impossibility of being cataloged within the melodic or harmonic, have been condemned to the container of the unclassifiable. The scream, the dissonance, the grotesque understood in its etymological sense as a cave or even as a crypt.
