He believes that often composers test new things, usually through the fusion of two or more cultural influences, a technique that has been used many times in history. It is an art work-and the composer has the final judgment on the artistic success of the finished work, on the basis of the goals predetermined at the outset, or the elements that he or she decided to use. Diverse extra-musical or interdisciplinary sources may influence the composition of a work, especially for the guitar. The composer reinterpreted this style in the form of richly ornamented melodies in the context of simple harmonies set for guitar and a small string orchestra. He believes that a musical cycle is initiated by the creator, and continues through the interpretation of the performer to be completed only with the perception of the listener.
Music exists only when the communication is established with the audience.
For him , the much-reported polarization within the field of contemporary music is resolved by an honest confrontation with the necessity of communication. A parallel position is taken by Don Freund, winner of the 1997 Rodrigo Riera Competition, who ten years ago stopped composing within the serialist system, because its high level of abstraction implied a loss of contact with the concrete technique and expressive devices of musical instruments, and even with the reality of sound itself. His prize-winning composition, Stirrings, employs instead a multiplicity of musical fragments in diverse styles, including blues and rock and roll, in combination with experimental harmonics and with the traditional lyrical devices of the guitar. He then organizes the fragments as elements within a continuum which aims to produce a musically coherent experience. Furthermore, since he is not a guitarist, Don Freund had to face the unique technical difficulties of the instrument.
