RETRO~GENESIS & SYNTHBUSTER COLLABORATIONS

Black Friday
BPM: 114

This instrumental is based on the sound of multiple tracks of Strats, synths  and electric bass.
It sounds a lot like a song of the eighties for the keyboards chords and the palm muted guitar parts.
The drums are programmed and they are based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. The drums are based on round robin samples which give to the patterns a natural feel.

The instrumental is available for sale on beatstars.com\gamandello or you can enjoy the full track on:

The track has been recorded, mixed and mastered on AKAI MPC Live and software.

Black Friday

Verse 1
Sally was a looker, the angel of night
Walking the streets, under street lights
Sally was my lover, since we were young
But now we’re done and apart

Verse 2
Got my education, I moved away
We grew apart, nothing to say
She found the thrill of getting so high
Much as I try she won’t stop

Prechorus
And she has this man
With his scar and his spray painted tan
I want to reach out to her
But he guards her like she is his own

 
Chorus
Sally would you come, would you run away
There’s a better life beyond these hills
In you there is that girl
The one I knew when I was your man
And in time you will shed off this skin
And we’ll make it to the promised land

Middle
On and on we go, on and on we must move forward
On and on we go now baby, ah ah ah

Prechorus
One night I faced her man
And he blocked the door and pulled out a gun
She was bruised and crying
And I knew that I would fight for her life

Verse
Sally was my lover, my childhood friend
I’ll stay with her till the end
I rush towards him, screaming with rage
You’ll never know how this ends

Sally Was This Girl

Quiet Strength

Gone In The Morning

Cuancoá is my new EP—a project that began in May and June of this year and has been evolving over the past months. The 4 tracks were born from analog jams with synthesizers and a drum machine, where improvisation was key. Over time, I added digital layers, but always kept the raw essence of the original sessions.

Two of the tracks, Uúba and Cuancoá, are deeply connected to both astronomy and U’wa culture. Uúba represents the star LTT 9779, which means "stars" in U’wa, and Cuancoá its exoplanet, LTT 9779b, meaning "seeds." These names reflect the connection between the U’wa community and their environment, highlighting how indigenous worldviews intertwine with modern astronomical knowledge. Additionally, Uúba, also known as the "morning star," symbolizes renewal and hope; however, its brightness can also remind us of the constant struggle between light and darkness, representing the search for meaning amidst the duality of life. Both Cuancoá and Melquíades carry symbolism related to the darker aspects of existence.

The other two tracks, Melquíades and Macondo, are inspired by Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez and have a significant emotional connection. Macondo represents nostalgia for displacement, particularly in the context of my home country, Colombia, where the sense of belonging and connection to the land is often affected. The cadence of dub in Macondo allows navigation through a sea of melancholy, while in Uúba, the strength to continue manifests, demonstrating that even when it seems to wane, it is reborn in the form of resilience.

Macondo is located in an orange dwarf star known as HD 93083, situated in the Antlia constellation, 94.26 light years away. Melquíades, or HD 93083b, is the exoplanet orbiting this star. The names Macondo and Melquíades evoke the magical realism of García Márquez's work, where Macondo is a place of rich history and symbolism, while Melquíades represents knowledge and wisdom. Each track offers a sonic balance, providing an experience that fuses emotional depth with musical expression.

Cuancoá explores the convergence of techno and drum and bass, with dub and ambient elements adding depth to each track. It’s a journey that ties together the cosmos, mythology, and literature, along with my own experiences and personal vision, now available.

This EP is a tribute to the place where it all makes sense to me : Sziget Festival !
Each track captures a piece of that magic. The sleepless nights, the sunrise dancing, the overwhelming energy of freedom and connection.
It’s not just music. It’s capsuled memories turned into sound.
If you’ve ever lost yourself on the Island of Freedom, you’ll feel it too ✨
