This is a backing soundtrack made over a drums demo track used on the 'Gigantes Gentiles' ('Gentle Giants') radio show some years ago. I found it by chance while looking for other files and decided to share it now.

Esta composición (casi imporovisada) es una cortina musical desarrollada sobre una pista demo de batería queue fue utilizada have algún tiempo en el programa de radio "Gigantes Gentiles". Lo encontré casualmente y decidí compartirla ahora.

Rainy Season

El Mes De Las Lluvias (Rainy Season) feat. E. Galimany

"Foco" es una vieja composición de la década de los 80s originalmente creada con batería electrónica, teclado Casio, bajo hecho con el teclado y mi vieja Epiphone Genesis. Esta es una recreación con sintetizadores y batería virtuales, bajo Fender Jazz Bass y la irreemplazable Genesis. 
Dedicada a mi querido amigo Carlos Persello @carlos-persello.

"Foco" is an old composition from the '80s originally composed and recorded using a rhythm box, a tiny Casio keyboard, bass lines made with the keyboard, and my old Epiphone Genesis. In this opportunity, I revisited the song using several virtual synths, virtual drums, a Fender Jazz Bass, and my irreplaceable Epi Genesis.
Dedicated to my dear friend Carlos Persello

Foco

Foco - Reissue 2023

El 21 de septiembre de 1973 debutó mi primera banda propia, "Rata Intelectual".  Fue también la fecha en la que dejé el bajo para tocar la guitarra y por primera vez tocamos un par de temas en vivo.
A 50 años de ese momento, rescato en este primer set los tres primeros temas que compuse, nada originales y con enormes influencias de Jimmy Page, Tony Iommi, Pappo y Spinetta.
Estas versiones no están muy prolijas pero representan a lascomposiciones originales en su estilo y con un sonido más depurado para que suenen actuales.

Opus 2

Opus 1

Ocho Veces

Durante 1973 mi banda "Rata Intelectual" formaba con bajo, batería y guitarra líder. 'Opus 3' es un tema preparado para trío que modifiqué cuando se agregó un nuevo integrante y yo pasé del bajo a la guitarra rítmica.
'Segundo Tema' quedó llamado así ('Second Theme') porque era el segundo de cuatro temas de una suite que finalmente no terminé. Esta versión cuenta con el agregado de teclados que no estaban presentes en la original. El resto es igual y reproduce los arreglos de mi extinto amigo Daniel Eusebi (RIP), profundo admirador de Jan Akkerman. Sobre el final hay una aproximación al estilo de Steve Howe de quien era fan yo por aquellos años.
Esta segunda parte cierra el período que pude recuperar de 1973 basado en registros conservados en viejos cassettes.

During 1973 my band "Rata Intelectual" was formed with bass, drums and lead guitar. 'Opus 3' is a song prepared for trio that I modified when a new member was added and I went from bass to rhythm guitar.
'Segundo Tema' was called so ('Second Theme') because it was the second of four themes from a suite that I finally did not finish. This version has the addition of keyboards that were not present in the original. The rest is the same and reproduces the arrangements of my late friend Daniel Eusebi, a deep admirer of Jan Akkerman. At the end there is an approximation to the style of Steve Howe, of whom I was a fan in those years.
This second part closes the period that I was able to recover from 1973 based on records preserved on old cassettes.

Para la Navidad de Carlos

I have loved music for as long as I can remember. I grew up listening to a wide range of genres: rock, pop, folk, classical, soul, blues, and tango, discovering progressive rock and fusion a little later. This musical diversity is reflected in my compositions, which often feature the guitar or bass.
Lately, I've been expanding my creative horizons by using VST instruments to produce more complex arrangements, often with the help of talented friends.
I welcome collaborations. If you have a song you'd like me to work on or need a custom track for your project, feel free to send me a message.
