Musical and Vocal Journeys

I'm more than proud to have been part of this musical journey led by Oscar Edelstein (composer) and shared with an incredible team of the ears, eyes and hands of a dedicated and skilled group of musicians, technicians, artists, designers and fellow adventurers in the avant-garde. 

It's a privilege to be warmed and welcomed by creators from another country and to receive the patience that it takes to understand someone working in a second language. 

Art is generosity and this project, "Estudios sobre la Grilla Acústica" (Studies for the Acoustic Grid) is full of the intensity and heart of many collaborators who entered into the unknown with courage and creativity. The result is two discs, Libro I (Book I) and II (which ironically were recorded in reverse order, so that Libro II was actually made in 2011), and Libro I was completed early in 2014. 

Life never goes in straight lines! These two discs and the book that accompanies them are full of zig zags and curves. They are for people who can appreciate the intensity of life and are open to the fullest expression of its passion and profundity. I hope that it is a journey that many people will want to take with the book in hand, the music playing, and a spirit of adventure.


There is much food for thought here in this project. It will take time for me to process so I expect I'll be updating my thoughts in this cyber space.


I really want to thank Elly Baltus (Netherlands)- an amazing artist and friend who has made a platform possible for this project through her publishing company. It was her book "The Architecture of the Mind", documenting her time-based commemorative sculptures, that inspired me along the road.


There are lots more people to thank - I'm going to take my time and mention them post by post. I'm taking the liberty to write in English as this is my personal blog as an artist, however I will be making sure that there are texts in Spanish and English in the other blogs of Oscar Edelstein and the ENS.


The complete package of the book and two discs will be on sale in May 2014. I'm really looking forward to all the questions and debates that it will raise!
