For those who follow me and while waiting to recover from my hearing problem, I searched in the box of the Métapop period...special thanks to Ashesndreams for her acapella.

It is a great honor to introduce this special musical project set to the powerful and beautiful poetry of the extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. This work was made possible with the kind permission of the Gabriela Mistral Foundation.
I want to give special thanks to the remarkable soprano Maribel Villarroél, whose stunning voice gave life and soul to each piece. Her deeply personal interpretation and awe-inspiring vocals brought authenticity and passion to this music. I am equally grateful to the brilliant pianist and arranger René Calderón, whose sensitivity and artistry are infused into each song. Their talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit have taken this project to levels I could only dream of as a composer.
Gabriela Mistral’s poems speak to the heart with timeless emotion, strength, and depth. Creating music for her words was both a challenge and a privilege, an emotional journey that led us to deep connections with her legacy and message.
The visual side of this release is also something I’m excited to share. The album cover was created by the outstanding Chilean artist Giovanni Gellona, whose artwork beautifully reflects the emotion and atmosphere of the music and Mistral’s poetry, and projects both her dignity and lovingness.
This album is not just a musical interpretation; it is a tribute to Chilean culture, poetry, and artistic collaboration. I hope listeners around the world can feel the love, effort, and respect behind every note.
I invite you to experience Gabriela Mistral’s poetry through this musical lens and share it with others who might be moved by it.
With gratitude,

PIECECITOS 
(Lyrics from Gabriela Mistral's poem "Piececitos")

Piececitos de niño,
azulosos de frío,
cómo os ven y no os cubren,                                                                               Dios mío!

El hombre ciego ignora  
que por dónde pasáis,                                                                                            una flor de luz viva                                                                                               dejáis;

Que allí donde ponéis                                                                                                   la plantita sangrante,                                                                                                  el nardo nace más 
fragante.

Piececitos de niño,                                                                                                   dos joyitas sufrientes,                                                                                          ¡cómo pasan sin veros,                                                                                          las gentes!

Oda a Gabriela Mistral

Piececitos

Lost eyes wander for years
Blind to all that’s been near

What if all I need was right here all along

Chasing flashier signs
Missing all that was mine

What if all I need was right here all along
What if all I need was right here all along

I lifted up my heavy cross
Until it broke me down
And I woke up inside my mess
Digging in the ground

I lifted up my heavy cross
Until it broke me down
And I woke up inside my mess
Digging in the ground
Digging further down

What if all I need was right here all along
What if all I need was right here all along

What If All I Need Was Right Here All Along

chanson française qui décrit le ghosting (le fait d'ignorer une personne) de façon humoristique et contemporaine. 

Tu m'as ghosté bébé

There is a picture by Carl Spitzweg this track refers to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnome_Watching_Railway_Train Also, there is a poem byJeff Gardiner (stonerjazz: https://soundcloud.com/user-911083679 ) that I reworked beyond recognition to answer to that picture. I herewith do apologize to both the maestros. An Akai Miniak, a Korg VT4, a Superlux D112/C and a Zoom R8 as well as Samplitude x8 software were complicit in the crime. Furthermore: Would anyone today still create a work of skill and art and not resort to AI? For this one, I played every instrument myself and you can hear my voice .... but the image is a self-warholized part of the original ......

listening through
echo cavities, he
small and uninformed
seemed to know

in knotted root dreams
few and far between, he
unarmed and unharmed
was left behind in the waking

exponentially exposed
sleeps's leftover claim, he
felt grown, expanded
with sunlight pooling
trained heath
underneath

Perspective

Cure of culture
The purist preens
In a petri dish of hues
Domed discernment scenes
I see people with coloured clothes
Just like the grass
Evolving glows

Cure of culture
With sure esteem
This petri dish has sexes
Domed discernement scenes
I see people of equal knows
Just like the snail
Evolving glows

I see not colour
I guess I’m blind
From this perspective
That’s evolving kind
No status quo for hate gone wrong
Evolve our culture
Full spectrum as one
I see not colour
I guess I’m blind
From this perspective
That’s evolving kind
No status quo for hate gone wrong
Evolve our culture
Full spectrum as one

Remember the past
Context for our cruel
If we tend to cancel
No lessons for our crew
Hate will just morph
Colour lost to hue
Evolve our culture
Evolve the crew

I see one clan
All blacks and whites
We have our history
Still have our fights
But I see the past
They had their moments
I won't cancel them
Good lesson quotients

I see not colour
I guess I’m blind
From this perspective
That’s evolving kind
No status quo for hate gone wrong
Evolve our culture
Full spectrum as one


Perspective

In this piece I used an upright piano, a cello, a solo violin, a duduk, an electric guitar and strings ensemble.
Thank you for listening !
