around the end of march I finally chose for a title. I am used to titling my work from the very beginning. it’s often an easy, intuitive first encounter or feel of what I want to do. but this time it wasn’t so easy, and it came about only after the research periods were behind and the perspectives of premiere got very concrete.

I played around with very complicated, long and poetic titles, which are my usual preference. but I ended up choosing “Piece about disappearance”. I thought it reflects better the apparent simplicity of the work. treating the title with the same straightforwardness of the structure and movement materials, not trying to embellish it. to my suprise some friends already found this a long and complicated title. I had to think that’s nothing compared to “La vejez de las paredes una negra sonrisa de alegria un rincon apacible un modo diferente de conspirar de conocer la vida un poco envenenada” or “smaller, slower, unproductive and resentful”.

I also like the idea that “Piece about disappearance” plays explicitly with a history of other titles of my previous work. at this point I think the connection to “Disappear”, “Disappear 2009″ or “Half of the piece about disapparing” should be obvious…
