This piece, is actually two pieces \u201cAbout Oneself\u201d is the first part and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/josegmartinez.com\/es\/about-the-others\/\">\"Sobre los Otros\"<\/a>&nbsp;the second one. During&nbsp;the time I wrote these pieces, I was&nbsp;reflecting upon&nbsp;the concept&nbsp;of originality, and I decided to  write a piece based on \u201coriginal ideas\u201d and other one based on \u201cother people\u2019s ideas\u201d. Ok, but, how do you get your \u201coriginal ideas\u201d?&nbsp;I decided to improvise and to take the result&nbsp;as pure as possible to create my \u201coriginal\u201d piece of music. I know it\u2019s completely arguable, as one always has external influence in the creative process, and it\u2019s almost imposible to create such thing as \u201c100% original music,\u201d but I gave it a try. The result was a very melodic piece and I didn\u2019t expect that, but it reflected my creativity and life in that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" data-src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/110487354&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Estrenada por el ensamble Taller Sonoro en Bogot\u00e1, Colombia.
