Gnossienne No. 1

In the play "El cóndor pasa", Frank is a character born in an indigenous family, but with blonde hair like the foreigners that exploit him and his peers, a detail that deeply troubles him. In some way, he represents the people of my country, all of us descendants of colonizers and colonized. A shared history of suffering, that's what connect us, and yet, we keep finding ways to discriminate, segregate, despise, humiliate, ignore, kill, and hate on each other.

†ॐ

Composición basada en el "Yaraví de Frank (Pobre alma prisionera)" perteneciente a la zarzuela "El cóndor pasa", del compositor peruano, Daniel Alomía Robles (1887-1940).

I've been always fascinated by bonus and hidden tracks in albums, so I decided to make one of those for H e a R T 1; but instead of just another song, this is a little mix inspired by the 'Undeleted' track found in one of ABBA's compilations. 
Also, this one is SoundCloud exclusive, and free to download, as a thank you to all of you that support my music. It brings me happiness to know that someone somewhere, very far from me, is listening and enjoying my work. Thank you.

About ten years ago, around this time, I was at the Gare de Lyon, on my first visit to Paris. I still remember the awkwardness of not speaking the language, having lunch at the Café des 2 Moulins, the grave of Oscar Wilde, and my desire to be there as an artist. I didn't know I could be one yet. But this music is not really about that. This is the theme of a tragic prince, an artist too. Once kind and shy, he then started a war against his loved ones.

Cuanto puede el aire es

Retrato

These days I've been practicing piano, trying to regain some confidence in my playing. Althought, I learned with Czerny's speed exercises, lately, I've been drawn to play slower pieces. But then, my dark side likes to takes over and uppens the tempo into something bizarre. Anyway...
Like many people from my country and my generation, I grew up watching dubbed shonen anime like Dragon Ball Z. Despite having moved on with my life, that anime always found a way to come back to me. Nowadays, that feeling of nostalgia has been monetized, but back then, it was like catching up with old friends. But now that its creator is gone, I guess it's finally over. Only his art remains, the love he put in it, and the joy it brought us.

Prologue & Subtitle 1

Sometimes I find myself thinking "I want to be like Yann Tiersen, or Bowie, or Bach", and then I wonder if Bach ever felt the same. "I want to be like Palestrina, or Machaut, or Lully", he may have said.
Now I wonder if, someday, someone will ever want to be like me.

"I spent a lot of time writing about the disappointment of discovering, somewhat first-hand, the degree of evil of which we are still capable. I should at least mention that I am also discovering a degree of strength and of basic ability for humans to remain human in the direst of circumstances – which I also haven’t seen before. I think the word is dignity. I wish you could meet these people. Maybe, hopefully, someday you will."

What were your parents like before you were born?

I used to play this piece in music school, an assignment from my piano teacher, a lovely and astonishingly talented lady from Ukraine. Of all the pieces she gave me to practice, this one was right up my alley. Playful, almost mocking, like the winter lately. And I happen to love the winter.

Melbourne 16/20

On my first trip to Paris, I visited Père-Lachaise Cemetery, excited to meet Édith Piaf, Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde. But before seeing my heroes, I came across a mysterious statue, one I can finally recognize as of Euterpe, muse of music. It was the tomb of Fréderic Chopin. I wish I had know more about him back then, so I could leave flowers on his grave. Also, it's curious how, of all the people in that cemetery, he's the one I now could relate the most. A fellow composer, not that fond of the stage, but still longing to be heard.

Well, technically, this should be titled "Half-prelude in C Major, Interlude in G Major and Prelude (again) in C Major", but never mind that, I had fun making this little tribute to one of the old masters. See (or listen) if you can recognize the melodies in the middle :)

EDIT: It has come to my attention that the Minuet in G Major, included in the middle part, was (not so) recently found to be actually composed by Christian Petzold (1677-1733), not Bach. So, this is a tribute to him too, I guess.

Paul McCartney happens to be touring around these parts so, before Beatlemania takes over my city (again), I thought of making another one of my remixes. To be honest, I'm quite surprised by this one. Maybe I'm amazed by how, even after so much cutting, there's still warmth in its sound, like an old record. Must be the piano, I don't know.
