Lo Que Calla la Casa

Lo Que Calla la Casa | An Original Song Inspired by La Casa de los Silencios

Some stories communicate as much through what remains unspoken as through what is revealed.

Inspired by Silvia Quiroga’s La Casa de los Silencios, this original music project explores the evocative relationship between storytelling, emotion, and the things that words sometimes leave unsaid.

The song, “Lo Que Calla la Casa,” takes its creative direction from the book's title and its sense of mystery, using music as a way to explore the atmosphere and emotional possibilities suggested by the written work.

My creative approach was to develop an original musical interpretation that gives the literary inspiration a distinct musical identity. Rather than simply reproducing a story in song, the aim was to create a complementary listening experience that allows the listener to connect with the inspiration through music.

This project reflects my interest in literary-inspired songwriting: transforming the atmosphere and ideas of a book into an original musical expression.

Creative contribution: Original song and music creation by Alias Derek.

Book inspiration: La Casa de los Silencios by Silvia Quiroga.
