Claudio Fernández Sini (Santiago de Chile, 1967)
From an early age, I have traveled and lived in many different places, absorbing and assimilating their cultural influences. As a child in Panama, I was fascinated by finding electrical appliances on the street; when plugged in, they produced sounds that I experimented with by connecting them to speakers. In the late 70's I got my first drum set and, as a minor, I would venture into discos before they opened. I would enter through the back door and make friends with the DJs, who would let me try out their first mixes.
In the '80s, in Rome, I studied audiovisuals and took part in various experiments and musical collectives closely linked to social centers and the local music scene. In the 90's, back in Chile, I joined the music scene of those years, collaborating in sound projects and playing in different groups, Supersordo being the best known.
I have always been interested in portable cassette recorders (Walkman type) and their sonic possibilities, a line of exploration that I continue to cultivate to this day.

577 Records is proud to be celebrating its 24 year anniversary.  The legendary music master Daniel Carter was one of the first people 577 cofounder Federico Ughi met soon after arriving in New York from Italy in 2000, after a brief stint in London.  It was a meeting of like minds and shortly thereafter the two started a series of house concerts at 577 Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn, the apartment where Federico was living at the time. The spontaneous nature of the concerts along with the incredible caliber of the deep downtown underground music they were able to present inspired them to bring the unique nature of what they were doing to a wider audience and they founded the label 577 Records to further that mission. 

577 Records started the New York Forward Festival in 2015 to mark the momentous occasion of Daniel Carter’s 70th birthday, now with festival editions happening in Morocco and Italy as well, and the international residency program Sounds of Freedom, in which active musicians are awarded the opportunity to develop their own sound, skills, and improvisation concept.

100% of profit from the sale of most of these albums goes to the musicians.

 

 “Guided by a mission to capture the ephemeral, to keep jazz relevant, and to foster a collaborative community of artists, the music 577 releases is timeless, masterful, and mystical.” - Bandcamp

“the music of new possibilities, full of spirituality and introspection, an alternative that did not need volume or screaming at the top of your lungs to position itself, and coupled with a deep sense of pulse and the blues.” - Free Jazz Blog

I like to work with simple and complex sounds. I use garbage, objects, and electronics to interact with its sounds on musical improvised performances.
