These last few days, beginning of December, almost winter in Paris, we had a beautiful sunny weather that lasted for a whole week (and going). Sunny and cold (for Paris standards, as Marc points in his introduction, this could be considered an indian summer in Detroit or Moscow). Some get a kick of summertime and heat, but for me nothing compares to winter days, with cold air and blue sky, mild sun shining. That’s my own personal adrenaline shot.

The low side here: we have a pollution crisis; cars are restricted, public transport free. You’re supposed to feel the intoxicating affect of the small particles in your nose and eyes and throat. But I can’t help it; I go maniac, ridiculously happy. 

So I got a request to make an instrumental track reflecting that contradiction: beautiful weather spoiled by pollution. The track accepted had a nice soft sytnh sound with glitches and noises breaking the beauty.
But I prefer this, my first option. Perhaps due to an overdose of noise with last week’s junto, I couldn’t quite go for noises to spoil this one. All I could do is adding some synth sparkles. But it was refused: there’s not pollution! Too nice! too naive!!

So here’s for you, my innocent take on the sunny side of Paris. I know that “Sonic Climate” calls for a more ambient approach, but I couldn’t’ help it, I’m too maniac for ambient, let’s go naive while we can..

Take a deep breath, feel the cold air needles in your lungs, face the blue sky and go jogging by the river!

In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
