A piano, two mics, a MIDI controller, distortion and bitcrushing, reverb, a bit of delay, and some noisy ambiance. But the title says it all. Enjoy + Thanks for watching + Thanks for listening + xoxoxoxo Continue reading Electroacoustic Piano Meditation and/or Test
What else can I say about this last weekend except, once again, sending gigantic thanks to my dear Dialektik, to Felisha Ledesma for the inspiring musical company, to Octubre Centre de Cultura Contemporània for lending its fantastic auditorium, to María and Agus for capturing these priceless memories in photos and videos, and, last but not … Continue reading Post-Dialektik
In case you didn’t catch any updates on social media, next Friday, May 24th, I’ll be playing live before Felisha Ledesma and for my good friends of Dialektik, at Valencia’s Octubre Centre de Cultura Contemporània, as part of the concert series Layers of Time. Imagine my excitement!! :’) You’ll find more info at http://www.dialektik.es, along … Continue reading Dialektik: Estratos del tiempo (Layers of Time)
A few weeks ago, my friends from Breakfast Club at Radio Relativa invited me to participate in one of their episodes. I was so grateful for the offer that I got cocky, and have now ended up with this: two hours of new and semi-new (but unreleased) music, a couple of rehashes from my own … Continue reading Destructive Editing
Eight years ago, I released “Kiwi” and “Gyri”, along with the other four four-track tracks that made up Minimal Tendencies, Anemone Fields. Three years ago, I arranged two new pieces out of the very basic harmonic and melodic foundations of both “Kiwi” and “Gyri”, respectively. After having shelved these new, unreleased pieces shortly after, some … Continue reading Zwei Überarbeitungen
Prior to my interest in electronics, or simultaneously, there is a rather classical background in piano and studies in Musicology. From this vantage point, it was a bit over a decade ago when I first saw in a then unfamiliar sphere of music, that which we call (or imagine as) “electronic” music, extremely attractive possibilities … Continue reading Livedebut (Desde Proyecto Celesta)
I threw myself into opening up before the world, to getting to know new people, following a genuine, truthful and deep impulse. And I survived the process (who would have told me a few years ago…). Of the chromatic opulence found in earlier compositions there is nothing left, on the other hand. The beat moves … Continue reading Technoo 80
Do you remember your quarantine? Of course you do. I remember mine. Each day blurred with the day before and with the day after, and with the day after that. Here too I find no tonal hierarchy. Or just perhaps that which, as one might superficially expect, is often established by the elementary procedure of … Continue reading Technoo 100
Distances have shortened, times have accelerated and our demands in this regard have sharpened. Multiplied cultural stimuli flash through our memory with little effort, blurred into amorphous balls of noise. Some of us, from time to time, seek refuge or consolidate the resulting sensory fog –we do not always pursue the same goals– wherever the … Continue reading Technoo 140
First, I compose. I design. I draw, on a very small scale. The different lines, independent but ideally interrelated, ascend, descend, advance, recede, color, darken, relieve, distress, in the quest for broader, multidimensional forms. Or not necessarily broad, but still multidimensional. I prefer to take the latter as the seminal attribute of interest and, having … Continue reading Technoo 120
