Calm & Reliable

One Before 909

El tango como una música de lejanías y de una experiencia melancólica del mundo enlaza aquí en tres gestos alrededor de la imagen del camino y el ciprés, el árbol de la última morada.

Esta obra fue escrita para el pianista Juan María Solare para el Proyecto "15 minutes of fame" de Vox Novus, Nueva York, Usa y estrenada en el ciclo de "conciertos del mediodia" de la Unversidad de Bremen, Alemania el 15 de junio de 2012.

piano: Juan María Solare

De profundis, for electric guitar, by Juan María Solare

This work incarnates an apparent contradiction:

The musical genre "De profundis", derived from the Salm 130, is usually associated with religious thought. The instrument, electric guitar, is usually associated with atheistic or even demoniac ideologies related to rock and metal.

But there is no contradiction. An agnostic guitarist can be so disappointed with the world as to address any God from the depths of his soul. Those who are free of conflicts, go ahead and throw the first stone.

Things To Come... Part Minus Two

After months of composing, orchestrating, and programming I can finally say it is finished. What funny is it started out as a blank Orchestral template and I can't think of a more fitting name for most complex piece I've done to date. 

Enjoy.

Blank Orchestra

Solare unifies in his person -and his esthetic- diverse tensions: contemporary music and tango argentino, South and North, composition and performance... The stylistic elements of his musical Oeuvre include a tendency to aphoristic, a quote of unbribable melancholy, a dose of irony and humor (related to the surrealistic absurd), and an aspiration towards sublimity. Solare considers that art music and light music are not irreconcilable extremes, but poles in a force field, and moves himself comfortably between both points with a very personal "musical bilingualism". In Solare's Work, these differences can -may- coexist without contradictions.
