Love for music and writing appears in the visual work of Garces as a surprise, or may be as in Giorgio Agamben, an antithesis of the vocation after which the real vocation appears. This pieces produced for Radio Orange tell stories with much more explicit political content, as in his interventions, but always observed through somehow dadaist distorted lenses. The spoken word here is considered as a component of music an as such, cut, modified and twisted to adjust itself as a sound experience. The plots do not follow a strict logic and sometimes, the listener has the sensation of inhabiting one of the strange metaphysical landscapes of Chirico's work.

Who is the "Angstgeometer", the fear geometrician in German ? Is it the architect of fear, the one that ought's to manipulate the population, in order to make them do what they in reality don't need or want? Or is he someone very different, a victim and an outcast. In this short fiction Abel explores the fear relationships in conquest situations and the listener would learn that usually nothing is what seems to be.

In the name of whom we endure this life and how can we humans enjoy what we always have left to live, knowing that every day is one less that we have? Uncertainty, pain, love, terrible things that we do and that we sometimes suffer, like the music of a terrible soundtrack grandiose in his infinite ordinariness, it is. Like in music life has to be conceived from the end to the beginning but experienced backwards. Because the whole theme is always waiting at the end that is the only thing that gives sense to the whole score. No heaven, no hell and no gods can give us what is intrinsically ours and in that we can choose, we can choose to make sense and make it mean what we really want even if it doesn't mean anything.

A fiction about guilt, about this place that we all fear and hate, a place were humanity almost disappears. Outside the society, the place of the perpetrator, judging by the number of detective and murder series and films that our popular culture produces, is at the same time our most deepest fascination. This is the place were everyone of us could be and because of which, defines the very texture of the society were we live. A place not to be, but with which everyone of us relates. 

What is really education? We are tired of hearing that education is the solution to every problem, but is it not a very complex way of mass manipulation? large parts of the population are tired of the well educated elites and we are witness to a very strange revolt were one has the sensation that imbecility has become a goal in itself. May be there is another way of educating or may be educating is destined to always be a kind of psychological violence. But perhaps the solution to this Gordian knot is in the difference of what defines what education is and what is not.

What do you think about your neighbour, or worst, what do you think your neighbour thinks about you? It is today not the best time to be the other and the other could ba a lot of things, even yourself. In this Radio fiction Abel explores the dangerous sterotipes in which we live and that so usually mingle with the state structures of violence administration. It is a sarcastic journey through the absurdities of the police state.

Herzog's mysteries is a deranged parody where the famous german documentalist Werner Herzog explores the antartic. Based on the real documentary «Encounters at the End of the World» by Herzog himself it is a fiction of a documentary but not a docufiction.
