Nogueroles writes for the physical instrument, not an abstract brass voice. The unusually low material and performance setup make equipment familiarity part of the preparation, while the dance elements demand precision and lift.
The work is best approached as contemporary theater with a strong rhythmic spine. Effects, register, and gesture all need to contribute to a coherent persona rather than compete for attention.
