Musical aesthetic approach to the compositional work of Ecuadorian Daniel Flores Días

Abstract

This work presents a musical aesthetic approach to the compositional work of Daniel Flores Días, as well as the influence of the Andean philosophy reflected in the music of Kotama. Data about his formation and stages are detailed to contextualize the person under study. The methodological framework is approached through a qualitative focusing with a narrative-biographical research method that, combined with the interview technique, becomes a primary source for the development of the research. In the results section, the analysis of the native musical elements and his proposal Runa Fractal 1.3 provide supplies to understand the
composer’s experimentation with avant-garde techniques, to finally arrive by way of conclusion at the identification of his compositional thought denominated by the composer as ‘non-western sound identity’.
