What music arises from an eclipse? What melodies appear in this suspended space? Música Solar is a piece built from the sound recording of the solar eclipse that passed over Mexico and other parts of the world on April 8, 2024. Within it resonate the vocalizations of birds responding to the astral alignment in the Cloud Forest of Veracruz—one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the country.

The piece seeks to intertwine the resonances of the cosmos, the animal, and the human without distinction, through music. It revisits the Pythagorean idea that celestial bodies generate a sonic harmony through their orbital movements, where the distances between planets correspond to musical intervals, composing a universal harmony.

The composition follows the arc of the eclipse itself—the true composer. Its cosmic transit summons the chorus of bird songs, while the requinto jarocho subtly responds, and our bodies resonate as part of this collective sonic act. In convulsive times, it offers a fleeting instant of apparent suspension, where we breathe and ask ourselves: What do we hear when the universe synchronizes?
