In the CD Shrouded Mirrors, Chilean virtuoso Diego Castro Magaš champions recent British guitar music. In this repertoire, made of challenging pieces of radical aesthetics and highly suggestive content, Diego explores the evocative quality of the instrument through its extremes of both intimacy and violence. As a result of the collaboration with the composers involved, the recording includes innovative and authoritative versions of pieces by Brian Ferneyhough and James Dillon, as well as world premiere recordings of music by Matthew Sergeant, Bryn Harrison, Michael Finnissy and Wieland Hoban.

Rendering Fear Powerless

I see you in this haunted dream
I see you when im on my knees
I feel you in the air
never, never be there
be there, be there, be there, be there
i see you when we're STAR HIGH
i see you when we close our eyes
I see you in the darkened night
never, never out of sight
be there, be there, be there, be there
I see you in this haunted dream
I see you when im on my knees
I feel you in the air
never, never be there
be there, be there, be there, be there

Star High

This track came about from a lyric in the song 'Me and Bobby McGee' about "windshield wipers slappin' time". That was the basis of the rhythm which was augmented with percussion tapped out on an acoustic guitar and loosely inspired by Steve Gadd's drumming on '50 ways to leave your lover.' The whole thing wasn't completely unoriginal - the piano and chordal background came from an unsuccessful attempt at another piece which was stretched and repurposed. The clarinet melody is an original length, which means the emphases in the melody fall in different places with each iteration. Finally the melody is processed to sound as if it is mediated by different technologies to reinforce the slight theme of nostalgia. These technologies move through time from AM radio to vinyl to data-compressed digital.

We are dogs. And we are opening our own galactic communications center. These people will give you our message.

Some tribes consider dogs to be sacred animals. This is no coincidence - we are very intelligent, loyal and attentive animals. Just like you.

Very slow, lazy and short walks are practiced in our global culture. As sacred animals who contacted you through this message - we ask you to at least try to walk the way we do - quickly, expressively, for a long time! It will be good for everyone. End of communication.
