Do 'very good' English translations of Trías exist? Got a secret source?

One of my musical mentors discussed Eugenio Trías and his ideas about working at the limits of a discipline. He specifically recommended these works:

"lógica del límite"

writings on Music: "el canto de las sirenas" and "la imaginación sonora"

I was also told the author uses the nuance of the Spanish language to maximal effect.

Kenneth Krabbenhoft of NYU, now retired, is the translator of the two books of Trías's that have appeared in English (Philosophy and its Shadow and The Artist and the City). You might get in touch with him directly and ask about extant translations of these essays. His email address is Googleable, he's in the Hudson Valley.
