The musical thinking of the composer José Manuel López López (Madrid, 1956) boasts a particularly extensive range in temporal dimensions of musical material, incorporating poetic imagery with and a personal and evocative sound. His search for unique sonic worlds and specific processes — which, in many cases, are extremely technically demanding for the performer  — set him apart from other composers of the clarinet.

The ‎Barcelona Clarinet Players, a quartet with an extraordinary flexibility and musical skill, take up the challenge of premièring La Trace, a work ‎commissioned by L’Auditori and the CNDM for four clarinets, four Bluetooth speakers and ‎video. (Yes, you read that correctly.) The filmmaker and audiovisual artist Pascal Auger,  a former collaborator with French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, completes the premiere with a visual piece ‎specially devised for the music of López López.‎
