Díaz-Jerez: Metaludios III, Books VI & VII

With Metaludios III, pianist and composer Gustavo Díaz-Jerez continues one of the most singular and visionary cycles in contemporary piano music. This third volume, comprising Books VI and VII, deepens his exploration of the fertile crossroads where science, technology, memory, and imagination converge, reaffirming Metaludios as a landmark project of our time.

Drawing on sources as diverse as artificial intelligence, astrophysics, mathematics, ancient history, visual art, and spoken language, each Metaludio arises from a precise conceptual framework and a unique process of transformation. Machine-learning models trained on Díaz-Jerez’s own musical language, sonifications of natural and cosmic phenomena, image-to-sound conversions, and algorithmic structures are filtered through an intensely personal compositional voice. The result is music that balances rigorous systems with poetic resonance.

Taken as a whole, Metaludios III forms a compelling sonic atlas of thresholds and transitions: between the human and the machine, the past and the present, order and chaos, the audible and the imperceptible. This new release confirms Gustavo Díaz-Jerez not only as one of the leading pianists of his generation, but also as a composer at the forefront of contemporary musical thought.
