Hurakán is a triptych inspired by the pre-Hispanic god of hurricanes called Hurakán, and it explores the three main stages that storms undergo, namely evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. I was particularly interested in exploring both the symbolic associations of each stage—as depicted in pre-Hispanic myth and visual art (ex. image on the cover)—as well as the environmental processes explained by science, hence the titles of the movements: I. Ascension, II. Color crystallization, III. Prismatic precipitation.

To this end, the first movement features a series of ascending motives. The second movement showcases a vibraphone solo and a series of riffs clashing into each other. Lastly, the third movement explores color and mechanics in an elusive texture akin to liquid crystals.
