En suspensió (In suspension) (2019) for vibraphone and electronics is a piece that came out of 'Frec' of 2015 (percussion & MIDI Keyboard) and  'It’s time' of 2017, a choreographic project with the dancers Albert Quesada, Federica Porello and Zoltán Vakulya. If It’s time is an exploration of the fragility of the constituent elements of the temporal present, En suspensió represents the high point in a playing with temporalities that transcend linearity; linearity, the very principle of composition, of placing things in order and of listening, in which acts and deeds are understood as a consequence of previous events. Movement is suspended and indexical elements lose all possible agency. Thus, a tactile space is opened up through a sound space that recovers certain immutable dimensions, where everything combines to form the illusion of an eternal present. Rumbau’s compositional process in creating this illusion –which is, at the same time, completely organic– involves the systematic application of metrical modulation to the maximum possible number of parameters, and their interplay with electronics as a resonant shadow.
