Presence es una pieza sonora basada en la exploración de la resonancia arquitectónica y del silencio oíble de los espacios vacíos, enfocando en grabaciones hechas en la antigua fábrica de tabaco nacional española. La Tabacalera, con dos siglos, se reabrió a principios de 2010.
La obra está basada en grabaciones hechas durante el verano de 2010. Sonidos apenas oíbles, resonancias y vibraciones de los espacios vacíos son las materias primas utilizadas en la composición.
La obra fue creada originalmente para la 5a edición de In-Sonora, presentada con un concierto en octubre 2010.

Presence is a sound work based on the exploration of architectural resonance and the audible silence of empty spaces, focusing on recordings made inside the former Spanish national tobacco factory of Madrid. Two centuries old and abandoned for many years, Tabacalera was partially occupied and reopened as an independent community centre in the beginning of 2010.
The piece is based on recordings made during off-hours in the Summer 2010. Ambiences, barely noticeable sounds, resonances, vibrations transmitted through the architecture and acoustic measurements (impulse responses) of the empty spaces are the raw materials used in the composition.
The work was originally created for the 5th edition of IN-SONORA Festival, presented with a concert in a warehouse at the building in October 2010.
