Metaludios is a collection of piano pieces written by Spanish composer and pianist Gustavo Díaz-Jerez.
The word Metaludio is derived from the prefix meta-, “beyond” and the suffix -ludio, from the Latin ludēre, “to play”, “to exercise”.
[3] These include fractal images, cellular automata, L-Systems, numerical sequences, Artificial Intelligence, etc.
[5] Psychoacoustics and the search of new sonorities to extend the expressive palette of the piano is central to the composition of these pieces.
[9][10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] British music critic David McDade compares the Metaludios with the Ligeti études, suggesting they could be their successors: An obvious point of comparison, it seems to me, are the Ligeti Etudes which, in recent years, have been getting the recognition they deserve as some of the most innovative piano works of the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries.
