Fugax, from the Latin fugāx -derived from fugere, “to flee”- is an animated generative score that writes and erases itself simultaneously. Its root already reveals its nature: something ephemeral that slips away and cannot be held. A visual act that evokes an imaginary music that exists in time only as it fades.
