this new iphone guaranties that the minerals used in the construction of it´s electronic components don´t come from conflict zones (like the coltan from congo).

i´ve just quit with spain, with theater. no more productions, no more theater company. it´s over, i did already said everything i had to say. right now i´ve moved to germany and just play my cello in the streets, don´t want to know anything else but my music.

this “sunless son” theme, easy to listen music that i use to play out there to make the day, using a looper with my mobile phone and a portable amp.


playing at leipzig´s streets:

i will premiere my musical project in “fusion” festival, here in germany. lucky me. orgranicers told me past year there were 70.000 people… mmmm… actually i play in the streets of berlin, a city with 4.5 million of potential listeners. so i suppose i´ll handle it (just hope the stage is an small one).

i`ve came to see her. right now i am in montreal. just in front of the main cicle du soleil buindings. loving her, and thinking meanwhile about the meaning of everything.

past week i could finally meet my harpsichord during a couple of days. this piece of henry purcell has helped me a lot these last weeks… it´s just wonderfull.

glasgow’s performance was great. it´s so nice performing into a festival that takes care of everything and where all things around you work good. even when their light technician didn´t know how to program the lights console! but it happens all the time everywhere i go, so this time it wasn´t different. i am so grateful to nikki for trusting my work… it´s been 2 years since first time i wrote her “hi, i am a spanish performer bla bla bla…” finally we meet each other at her festival. and all my new devices worked properly! c74 app works great too.

almost 100 hours invested in the glasgow’s adaptation of the play “heart and mouth…”, i have had a lot of fun, and the play has grown up a lot. but sometimes i think i am a little silly for being for so long changing a play that was already done, and that worked so good. and that will be seen for 100 persons! one hour for person work! we will be there within two days.

i have got to thank a lot leo van der veen for his great job with the app “c74“, which i use to communicate during the play with the audience using “max/msp” and three smart-phones. the last update he made was terrific. even when i miss some video capability.

these days I´ve just began the rehearsals of our next premiere in madrid. yesterday I did finally met the 12 children with which I´m going to play. I just hope the parents don´t look to the internet to my videos in youtube and think it´s not a good idea to let their children with me. they are just wonderful. me too! two weeks ago I began working with the harpsichord player and the singer, half of the play will be with songs of the baroque composer henry purcell. some of the most beautiful songs ever written. despite what I had thought in the beginning it seems it´s going to be much easier to work with the children than with the singer alone. damn! I really love the way he sings… but he is more complicated to work with than 30 children together!!!

help us purcell.

about the tech used in the show “heart and mouth and deeds and living”, which i have been improving for the glasgow´s performance, i have added three qwerty keyboards and three mobile devices using the max/msp program and the app C74 (thanks leo!!).

new year new stage

i have began playing with my electric cello in the subway 3 weeks ago. it´s a hard work (but nothing compared to be a waiter again, no no no, this is heaven compared to it), i need the money… and so i´m in touch with my music and the audience. as i keep playing for 6 hours every day i´m also exercising my fingers and my mind. i use my iphone and the wonderful app “everyday looper” to make my loops on the fly and keep my compositions going. so i don´t need my laptop (which would be very difficult to power on in the street). i suppose i prefer a real stage… but no stages until glasgow in march 10th!! so this is the best i found.

it´s raning women over my solitude…

it´s raining women (hallelujahhhh)

ooohhhhh

some days ago I revisited this video dedicated to david nebreda´s self portraits. he´s an artist from madrid, a complicated one…

published books about his works, by leo scheer->

so nice comic explanation about the incongruence of using “qwerty” keyboard layout against “dvorak” one.

What Power art thou,
Who from below,
Hast made me rise,
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!

See’st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.

I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.

Let me, let me,
Let me, let me,
Freeze again…
Let me, let me,
Freeze again to death!
