A New Universe (2014), Julián Carrillo and 13 concepts of sound 13 (2016)
Julián Carrillo, a Mexican composer, orchestra conductor, violinist and scientist, was more than a fascinating person. By the end of the 19th century, he began his studies on microtonal music and developed this theory of Sound 13, the tone that goes beyond the chromatic scale of the 12 known sounds.
Carrillo designed and built microtonal pianos and harps to interpret his compositions. In the video Library of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí video documents about Carrillo, part of the audiovisual memory of the university are kept and saved.
The Jury shortlisted this project as a perfect example of preserving valuable footage and making it accessible for further scientific studies.
