Esta pieza sonora está formada exclusivamente por notas de audio grabadas con un iphone 6 y un iphone 8, mientras trabajé en El Gran Teatre Del Liceu de Barcelona entre Octubre del 2021 y Enero del 2024. 

En ella se pueden escuchar desde improvisaciones tocadas en pianos de cola larga afinados por el maestro afinador del Liceu, órgano eléctrico, y hasta algunos extractos de óperas como Turandot, en las que tuve en placer de trabajar como técnico de escenario.

LICEU MIXTAPE

This compilation was first made for 2016 xmas invisible friend organised every year by Ota and Marià {@Estruc} at their old apartment in Diputació.
The idea behind the musical invisible friend was to create a phonographic artifact with original or selected tracks.
I chose originals so i started looking in my sound archives (very limited at that time) and came up with this selection of piano and other keyboard improvisations mixed with phone voice notes and other lo-fi field recordings.

No edit, mixing or mastering was done to any of the tracks, except Song #1, Song #2 and Twin Peaks OST version, recorded with Avenson matched pair STO-2 omni mics as a test on the piano sound and quickly mixed but unmastered.

Recorded and performed by Helio Reguera.

4 years ago I participated on a musical invisible friend by the invitation of Marià and Ota from the band @Estruc. I then gave away to an unknown friend of a friend a compilation of several piano improvisations interleaved with some voice notes and other field recordings that I had been collecting on my phone while traveling. A few days later, before 2016 ended, I published the compilation titled 'PIANO ALBUM'.

Following that idea, during the first Covid-19 harsh confinement in march 2020, I started working on a second more extended version of almost an hour worth of material recorded over the last 3 years (but specially back in summer 2019 while I was doing a residency at 2nd Ward Foundation, in Hudson, NY.) which i now present here.
