We`re gonna kick `em out.

I had the chance to get on stage at el Puto Bar_Caracas, this time to do strictly a Noise Session that took other direction at some point. It was for me a pretty hectic day since 8 am, but once I got there, I relaxed, mingled with the Crew of the Bar, and everything took it`s course. (click on images to enlarge em)

Friends showed up, with gifts, and with the always present relaxation and positive fun vibes, things got even better. I started with some pre-determined Drum Machine preset patterns and took it from there.

Some stuff worked out pretty good, some stuff didn`t worked out fully like I intended to, but man, did it feelt good. Am grateful. (Thank goodness the bad parts where cropped out! XD)

For more Pics of the event you can check em out in my Tumblr (click here), and be sure to check out other acts in the Puto Bar_Caracas Tumblr (click here)

Live Noise Session , Puto Bar Jueves 23 Junio 2010.

***

Estare tocando este jueves 23 en el puto bar, haciendo una session improvisada de Noise no se cuando volveré a tocar, así que no esperen mucho. Tengo semanas sin agarrar una guitarra, y varios pedales dañados. Pero eso lo hace mas interesante no?! mas desafiante?! Lleguense que se puede poner interesante la cosa, ya que no se que vaya a salir de las cornetas.

I will be doing an improvised Noise Session this thursday in Ccs, in the great Puto Bar of Chacao. Part of my “resting regime”, was not to open any sequencer or music software, or by any means never come close to a guitar. I have a few busted pedals, and am apparently out of sync with my guitar, out of practice. But maybe that will render it more interesting. That`s maybe why am calling it experimental! If your`re near, come. It can get good.

Pinballs & Maquinitas (Venezuela)

En este tiempo que he estado *descansando*, recibí la oferta de escribir para el espacio virtual de un amigo sobre Pinballs y Maquintas. Accedi. Me parece que puedo distraerme mucho redactando en otro blog, y si es sobre Pinballs y Arcade Games, que es tan adictivo, nunca se dice que no. Imposible.

Puedes leer el post mas reciente que he agregado aquí.

Espero la disfruten, ya que tenemos pensado venideros eventos de diferentes tipos. Tambien estaríamos muy animados en conocer entusiastas/grupos de entusiastas de Pinballs y de Arcade Games de otros países.

I got an offer from a friend to blog about Pinballs and Arcade games in a space he created. Of course I wanted to. Pinballs and Classic Arcades (or modern ones) are worst than cigarrettes, more addcitive, and way better. Attention, focus, suggestion.

My latest entry here.

Main blog page of Pinballs & Maquinitas Venezuela here.

(Google translator works wonderful in these kind of writings, or at least it kind of points in the right direction. Dammit, at least it makes it comprehensible! go and read it!)

We`re looking forward to acquire machines, create head on fun competitive events, and get in touch with other entusiast groups around the world.

Our Group in facebook: Pinball Venezuela. Everyone is invited to join!

*Sería un pecado no poner este video aquí no? Así que mejor lo puse.

Tricky 26.05.2011 Caracas.

Grooving alongside Tricky at 0:45 on forward to the tune of Ace of Spades. I can say Tricky is full of good vibes and Love. His performance at the concert in itself proved that. I had the chance to interchange words with him around 3 times while the music was on and one after it finished. Check the reviews of the concert to see what hardcore means.

PODCAST: HUGE Hefner tiene razón, episodio 11: Hip hop actual.

Friend and current visitor of the House Studio Amilcar Ortega brings us a new interpretation of what´s happening in a certain demographic of the Hip Hop scene to us in the form of a Podcast, and even takes it´s time and explains it to us. I wouldn´t do that. But he is so nice as to give out clues about certain movements in actual Hip Hop, the internet culture, and how all of that came together and produced something totally new. A must listen. Spanish only, place your Babel Fish inside your ear now. Thank You.

Raven Window Sill

Everybody knows I blur a couple of words, and when I repeat em, is when they make some sense. That´s why I repeat words and phrases so often. I just can´t seem to make sense most of the time, it´s hard for me to do so in a song while am recording on the fly. It doesn´t take a Phd Professor to realize what´s in deeper “in the non-sense” part of my discourse. In this song it`s the same case. I have to repeat em, just for myself, to see what sense they make to me, and then is when I rationalize, but am already on the next paragraph, impressing meaning on other words. And then I start to get marbles in my mouth and it goes all out of hand. Nobody understands that. And I keep on going. Call me crazy, call me unadvanced, usually all starts to make sense after a couple of months, but then am in another trip with another sound, and don´t come asking. If you have to ask, you´ll never know… This was my 2nd take at this song, with a fast written lyric sheet. Fast, easy, and cracking.

This particular take has help from Raúl from Demedina´s, on Bass and Lead Guitar. Check his music here. His music is mindblowing, and he gives it all, like all musicians should. And nobody should take anything from granted, and less that quality in a musician.

This song is as basic as it can get. Distortion Pop. Distorted Folk. After-Punk-Hours. Insulin Shoegazered. Easy. I have no Idea when I`ll have time to stop running and think a little out of what I have thought over and over the past months, get a new horizon, and take my time to transform my music, shape sounds, or form new structures. But am pretty sure it will be a mixture of my Noise Sessions and everything else taken to an extreme. That´s the idea that´s fixed in my head. That´s been troubling me to the point of a parody where I really don´t care till I am in that position where I have to deal with it and juggle it, then it´s fixed in 15 minutes most of the time if I really get into it. But then if it start´s again the nagging, I start to Creep and Ghoul. It affects my music, but it won´t stop it. That am pretty sure will never happen. So everything remains as before. Some change must come. And as soon as my Piggy Bank is full, am taking some good ol` fashion 2 month vacations destination I have no idea yet. I have no idea where I´ll go still. Holla.

I have separate tracks, “better takes”, from bass, in plans to “mix em better”, but am trying to rest. Which is fucking Hard. But am sure I´ll get the hang of it. I started today, but my obsession with music arose again and I started to make new songs, but when I broke in heavy sweat and total energy loss, mixed with mind numbness from playing after 3 minutes I picked up the instrument (it´s called exhaustion), I said fuck it, and took care of that, again, forcing myself out of the music room and poped in some DvD´s. Easy and sleazy. Nobody is having nightmares tonight, I have done my job, and I guess I post this as a sentinel to my Rest. We don´t sleep, we rest.

My rest consist of one week only, cuz I have a booked show in 3 weeks. Am sure this ain`t killig me. And am sure that ain´t stoping me either. And am fucking hungry for more.

Eastern Songs.

Well, this is what I finished in some days of Eastern. The whole thing was for it to have vocals, but I got the flu, and couldn´t sing in any matter. All of these are work in progress, cuz it takes me more than 2 days to make up and produce a song, but are on the listening level. Hope you enjoy em.
