Starting from structuralist cinema and applying the reading of light as sound, the author contemplates the lightning of a strong storm. A constant palpitation of shadows and lights that offers alternations and acoustic surprises. The sound is generated electronically through the material peculiarities of the bursts of light. Another type of clattering, different from that of thunder, dominates the eardrum.

"Tximist haundi eta euri gitxi."
[Big lightning and little rain.]
(Basque proverb)

During the stormy night, the real emerges with all its power through the untamed energy of the storm. The author carries out a nocturnal audiovisual exploration of the storm in which each Tximist (lightning in Basque), each flash of light, will synchronously activate a digital sound (coinciding even more than the associated thunder, which cannot be heard). The method used consists of interpreting the changes in light and its nuances, from night to lightning and vice versa, digitally recreating the idea of reading optical sound, used for cinematographic audio.

Each irradiation is transformed into different acoustic tonalities, with a constant reverberation in the background. The lightning flashes artificially resonate at different treble frequencies. In this way, the impulse that moves the poor and domestic visual shot consists of going to meet a vibration. Art produced by the action of nature giving a different meaning, transforming reality into artificial sound.

Blanca Rego stresses the centrality of chance as a generator of possibility. The experiences, always partial, shape the content for the productive encounter of new successes, which are immediately incorporated into the sound plane. In addition to the different conceptual questions produced by this piece, there is also the result of a montage in which concrete sounds are supplanted and structural methods are renewed. Blanca Rego succeeds in disturbing that which seemed firm and indomitable through elaborations outside the norm. In this way she questions and evidences the flimsy limits imposed by inherited practices in audiovisual art.

On a visual level, Tximist turns out to be a hypnotic piece, in which each outburst encourages us to continue contemplating the screen. Meanwhile, undaunted, one will continue to stare at the sky waiting for the thunder.
