Daniel Toca gave a practical workshop to the students of COBAO Río Grande for sound appreciation and later to map the sound landscape of the area. Through blind walks, Toca sought to complicate the way of experiencing reality by abolishing the predominance of the visual and emphasizing the sound environment in public space. Finally, a series of individual sound maps based on the sound landscape of Rio Grande where produced.

“Daniel Toca conceives literary essay as an artist, not as a writer. The border between his essays and his plastic work has been gradually eroded to understand the literary essay as a plane of consistency, as a model, as a spatial order – sometimes geometric, sometimes purely poetic –, as an ancient writing, a pure writing that includes mazes, research about parallelism, the simultaneity that happens between literature, philosophy, theology… His essay-models find echoes in musical structures that are revealed in writing and how they refer to an idea of time that Daniel Toca spins into a weave in which he discusses the dimensions or stories of time. A musical concept or a fiction entail a philosophical position, this position is a precise space that overflows text, causing it to become a sculptural – architectural – material, that observes, even on a secret sheet music, a rhythm, a personal infinite.”
