In this sound piece, the drummer, Unai de la Iglesia, plays a series of rolls on the snare drum that progress in improvisations, evoking industrial noises to become more complex in familiar rhythmic patterns. Asier wrote an essay that links the form of national anthems, military music, punk and the avant-garde jazz of Albert Ayler and asked the musician to interpret it, resulting in evocations of festive music or military marches that intertwine in the work.

Las relaciones entre forma, discurso e ideología, así como las conexiones que éstas establecen con la representación de lo colectivo, y las potencialidades de la abstracción para la eficacia política configuran el eje de la práctica artística de Mendizábal.
