Rough piece on the mandolin for this afternoon. You can even hear some sloppy fingering - proof that it's not generated by a computer (although...).
In French, "arbre à palabres" refers to the tree under which people gather to discuss, debate or listen to the village sage. It's a tradition usually associated with some African cultures but you've probably seen it somewhere else - people talking under the shade of a tree.

Arbre a palabres

L'arbre à palabres

World has slowed down. 
Hidden beneath a skin of fear.

All Silver was created during the first days of the Corona shutdown.
Made with passion and modular synths.

All Silver

all silver

two chaos children collide 
again as fate provides  

to protect this fish
to raise the flood

slipping into new lakes 
happiest mud 

tuning without knowledge
the rhythmic sapiophone

together known 
in sonic bombast shown

protect this fish

Wherever I Go

Quick self-promotional insert: 

I released my latest record of original music a couple of weeks back. It'd mean the world to me if some check it out on Bandcamp and/or Spotify:

Alright. To the video at hand: I recently got the Mooer A7 hall/reverb/ambience pedal. Totally loving it so far, especially the standard hall-mode and crush-mode (I think I used both on the melody improvisation). This is a little improvisation using the hall mode.

I used my Shawn Lange Master signature on this one. Goes in to the Bluguitar Amp1, into the th Blubox (set on "Stack 1980"). The reverb and delay (for the loop) is in the fx loop of the amp. Together with the "Shallow Water" by fairfield circuitry. 

Let me know what you think, should I do a full review like for the "When The Sun Explodes" by beautiful noise effects?

A água da chuva desce a ladeira.

        É uma água ansiosa.

Faz lagos e rios pequenos, e cheira

        A terra a ditosa.

Há muito que contar a dor e o pranto

        De o amor os não querer...

Mas eu, que também o não tenho, o que canto

        É uma coisa qualquer.

It's been a long year.  Moments i'll never forget. My intention for this classic christmas tune arrangement was a slow, sad - yet, eventful jingle with mysterious tonal wonder and beauty with a joyful twist between expressions. it truly speaks for itself. Happy holidays everyone.
This is the first piece i've ever reharmonized before. I tried my best thank you so much.

Some people are like a palace with no entrance. They are intricate inside and shiny marble hide them.

This is on old trumpet Getzen Eterna 78. Enjoy listening!

Thanks to the lockdown and the lack of proper work on these past 2 months I decided to (finally) open and old box of DAT I got from my storage place in Argentina when I was forced to close it and decide what to keep (bring it home on the plane), what to sell, what to discard.
These DAT (my go-to recording/archival media in the 90s)  included loads of tapes with Jams and impromptu encounters that I recorded there live and never ever listened to.
I realize now how good that attitude was,( just tape everything that happens at home or archival purposes), I did that all the time, stopped later, I promise to do it again in the future.

I discovered many gems, funny and intense moments, I include here one rehearsal for a song I composed in 1985 (one of my first proper composition) . I make a little bass solo that's pretty lame, but my partners live-at-home performance is awesome and I'm glad to make this available for you to listen and criticize.

This happened in Buenos Aires, March 9th 1995 at my home/studio in the Julian Alvarez street of the Palermo Viejo area. Recorded live to DAT (one mic for the guitar, one for the bass, a stereo AT mic for the percussion set.

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
