(Zero 7 - Today original aquí: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRtGB...)

El ciclo Irreversión surge del trabajo conjunto de dos amigos músicos: Victor Rosales y Fran Malbrán. De su admiración por un sinfin de bandas y artistas y su contínua búsqueda de nuevos sonidos, surge la idea de hacer coexistir de alguna manera esa heterogeneidad musical en una obra completa.

"Irreversión" es el nombre de esa obra. Un ciclo de versiones multimediales que absorberá, mascullará, deformará y reformará de manera irrestricta, irreverente, irreversible e irresolvible (entre otros "irres") composiciones de orígenes, estilos y mensajes diferentes, no para homogenizarlas, sino para ponerlas cara a cara y esperar que se guiñen un ojo.

Irreversión - Capítulo 01: Today [Zero 7]

When Lee Lucas posted a collaborative version of this song before Christmas https://soundcloud.com/lee-lucas/lee-lucas-mark-j-bennett-the-parting-glass, he suggested that I put out an open invitation for anyone to collaborate with the original stem. Of course, I appreciate that grafting any type of arrangement on to an acapella vocal track isn't easy but I'd welcome any approach. This is an Irish traditional song but it may well withstand a modern arrangement. The vocal stem has lots of reverb and echo on it but should you need a drier stem to work with, just message me and I can send a naked version. Also feel free to take some liberties with this should it lend itself in any other treatment. 

I raise my glass to those brave enough to listen to me tightrope-walking and also to those who might consider taking on this challenge. Cheers!


Of all the money that e'er I had
I have spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

The Parting Glass - Open Collaboration

Mi primera canción con el Banjo. No fue adrede, fue la primera que se vino a los dedos cuando empecé a investigar las notas del banjo por primera vez. Un poco rústica :)

First song with the banjo. It wasn't intentionally, it was the first one that came to my fingers when I started investigating the banjo notes for the first time. A bit rustic :)

Halo Lunar- Luis Alberto Spinetta (Versión)

Age of Seas - Ultramar

Un tema sencillo, de unas pocas notas que se relaciona con la búsqueda, con algo que va avanzado lento. Quería jugar con el contraste entre un abordaje acústico (guitarra, charango, chajchas, mandolina, pequeños tambores de mano) y otro relacionado con sintetizadores.


A simple theme, of a few notes that is related to a search atmosphere, with something that advances slowly. I wanted to play with the contrast between an acoustic approach (guitar, charango, glockenspiel, chajchas, mandolin, small hand drums) and another related to synthesizers.

Tengo un piano desde que puedo recordar. Tenía uno en casa porque mi papá es músico. Esto me permitió tener una niñez muy musical, con muchos de los músicos que ahora admiro siendo escuchados diariamente: desde Caetano Veloso hasta Jorge Drexler, pasando por Silvio Rodriguez, Eric Clapton, Sting, B.B. King, John Coltrane, Egberto Gismonti, Charly García, Pedro Aznar, Lenine, Bela Fleck, Juan Quinteros, Edgardo Cardozo y todo tipo de música coral).
A la edad de 8 mi papá era director de orquesta y me ofreció la abrumante y espectacular opción de elegir cualquiera de todos los instrumentos de la agrupación. En ese entonces, violoncello fue el elegido. Lo estudié durante un par de años, pero a los 12 empece a estudiar piano con Juan Carlos Ciallella, un profesor estupendo que me transmitió con gracia las profundidades de la teoría musical.
Más tarde y sólo debido a una canción que consideraba la más hermosa, mi papá me enseñó a tocar la guitarra. Sólo quería aprender esa canción, pero como no era "tan" fácil, me ayudó a aprender varias cosas acerca de este leal instrumento que después se convirtió en buen compañero de vida.
Después tuve varias bandas. Una banda de música brasilera, una de rock suave, otra de folclore argentino.
Todo esto es parte de mi historia ahora y espero que se vea reflejado de alguna manera en las cosas que hago.

Este espacio será en su mayor parte para canciones. Muchas de ellas originales. Unas pocas serán versiones. Quizás algunos instrumentales también se hagan un espacio en este lugar.

Nos vemos por ahí!

I have a piano since I can remember. I had one in my house because of my father being a musician. This allowed me to have a very musical childhood, with a lot of musicians I now admire being heard on a daily basis: From Caetano Veloso to Jorge Drexler, going through Silvio Rodriguez, Eric Clapton, Sting, B.B. King, John Coltrane, Egberto Gismonti, Charly García, Pedro Aznar, Lenine, Bela Fleck, Juan Quinteros, Edgardo Cardozo and all kinds of choral music).
At the age of 8 my father was director of an orchestra and gave me the overwhelmingly spectacular chance of choosing between all the instruments of the agrupation. Back then, violoncello was the chosen one. I studied it for a couple of years but at the age of 12 I started learning piano with a Juan Carlos Ciallella, a lovely professor that got me gracefully into the deeps of music theory. Later on, and just because of a song back then I considered the most beautiful, my father tought me to play the guitar. I just wanted to learn that song, but since it wasnt that easy it helped me learn many things about this loyal instrument that then became a good companion for life.
Then I made some bands, a brazilian music band (for about 4 years), a soft rock band (for about 2) and an Argentinian Foclore.
This all is part of my history now, and I hope will be reflected somehow in the things I do.
This site is mostly about songs. Most of them will be originals. A few will be covers. Maybe some instrumentals will make their way into here as well.
Let me know what you think!

See you around!
