We live in a world where silence has been lost. We live in the constant search for social acceptance, and our universe revolves around social networks. "How can we talk about what is happening today in the world, if we do not know what is happening within us?"

MINIMAL UMBRA is a project dedicated to the music of composer Susan Campos-Fonseca. The EP brings together recordings made by artists and researchers all over the world. This is an open laboratory, in continual growth, to which the composer adds new works.

El corazón de lo que existe is based on a poem by Argentinean writer Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), included in Los trabajos y las noches (1965). This work is the result of an artistic investigation realized by the composer, dedicated in this case to the use of the word “silence” in Pizarnik’s poetry.
