on 2008 music kept me very busy,
I'm very grateful for this, playing with musicians I feel honored to play with
I played 67 shows with la national film chamber orchestra (most of them with matias mango) at malba, countless appearances at canal 7tv and 1 show at costanera sur with a luxurious lineup: samalea on drums; fito paez, mono fontana and matias mango on keyboards and myself on gtr
2 shows with maria eva albistur, one of them in montevideo,
22 shows and studio recordings with francisco bochaton,
2 shows with charly garcia in mar del plata and several very fine recording sessions at los pajaros, palito's studio near lujan, where charly is recovering
5 shows with flopa, with whom I wished there'd be many more!
4 performances with the guitar circle of europe around barcelona
12 shows with friends, including narrow bridges, mono fontana, ale franov, santiago vazquez, el diablo en la boca, lothus, mussa phelps, futura bold
over 100 live performances this year...
I was awarded with the condor de plata by the argentinean asociation of film critics for the music I recorded with fernando samalea and matias mango for a film by teresa costantini
recorded with fernando samalea, flopa, juan ravioli, julian massaldi. maria eva albistur, ale oliva, gabriel spiller, santiago vazquez, marcos rocca, maxi trusso, andra borlo, the circle of guitars of europe...mixed the live at nd ateneo cd...
all great projects that I feel happy and proud to be part of
the guitar academy on junin street is on its way and completed the year with a very warm live performance
so, music kept me very busy and there's no way I can complain!
a blessing
happy new year,
peace and love

weekend
on friday, saturday and sunday 8 performances by la national film chamber orchestra at malba.
15 minutes before the first show on friday the ac adapter for my gr20 guitar synth died. this meant I played the first 2 shows with no synth, only a clean guitar sound. and somehow it ended up being an advantage, particularly for the buster keaton movies...
my replacement adapter arrived in time for the last 2 shows. a lesson: always carry a spare transformer of each! to every show!
I had several technical problems in the last week: recording with charly, my tremolo pedal broke (a regular click sound!), also one of the buttons of the line 6 delay stopped responding...it's been a long year!!!!!
yesterday we played 2 movies, the last one "maman colibri", being the last performance of the year. a high note, to my ears a very good performance.
stools shopping at carrefour and back home for asado with the amianos, flopa and diego. wonderful!
rehearsal with charly today

busy weekend
charly's interview at newsweek is very good, from the heart. it was moving reading it.
on thursday, friday and saturday I played witha la national film chamber orchestra at malba, almost 8 hours sessions on thursday and friday, almost 4 hs on saturday
a comment by matias mango after one of the movies: "this movie plays by itself"...this is exactly how it feels for me when things are right with the silent films, and we had wonderful moments this week, particularly on friday and saturday. the last show was difficult. we were exhausted.
yesterday I also played with francisco bochaton at festival buen dia, an open air festival at the park next to the planetario. very good attendance, hot day, hot audience. pogo included. entre rios played before us, with their brand new lineup. no lo soporto played before but I missed them.
very tired
today I took a needed day off. listened to cat power and cornelius in the morning. such a treat. in my car peter gabriel and bob dylan. reading "el tano y yo", malvicino's book on his life with piazzola. wonderful!

La National Film Chamber Orchestra en Malba
Desde pasado mañana, en el Malba
Cómo fue el primer cineclub porteño
El ciclo recordará la labor de Amigos del Arte a través de los films que dieron a conocer
http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1081095
La historia de los cineclubes porteños ya tiene primera página. Desde pasado mañana, el Malba (Figueroa Alcorta 3415, entradas a 10 pesos; estudiantes y jubilados, 5 pesos) presentará un ciclo dedicado al cineclub de la Asociación Amigos del Arte. Entre 1929 y 1931, dicha entidad albergó la primera experiencia cineclubística argentina, que se contó entre las primeras de América latina. La iniciativa fue de un grupo de jóvenes intelectuales vinculados a personalidades del mundo del arte de diferentes disciplinas, como el cineasta León Klimovsky, el crítico de arte Jorge Romero Brest, el fotógrafo Horacio Coppola, los poetas y escritores Héctor Eandi, Ulyses Petit de Murat, Jorge Luis Borges, José Luis Romero, Leopoldo Hurtado, Néstor Ibarra, Marino Casano y César Tiempo.
En ese entonces, la ciudad ofrecía una posibilidad única, ya que al menos hasta el golpe militar de 1930 no había censura. En el número 79 de la revista española La gaceta literaria, Guillermo de Torre reseñó la actividad, y destacó: "La novedad más considerable que puede presentar el cineclub de Buenos Aires con relación a todos los similares europeos es la abundancia de films rusos y soviéticos, de aquellos que la censura europea proscribe y que aquí se dan públicamente y sin mayor asombro".
Educando al cinéfilo
La retrospectiva reconstruirá parte de la programación ofrecida por el primer cineclub de Buenos Aires, a partir de una colección de sus programas conservada por Horacio Coppola. Esta primera entrega incluye una importante selección de lo visto en sus tres temporadas de vida.
Pasado mañana, por ejemplo, se verán cortos de Harry Langdon (a las 18), de Max Linder y de Charles Chaplin, así como Cazadores de almas (1925), de Josef von Sternberg (a las 20); El gato y el canario (1926), de Paul Leni (a las 22), y El gabinete del Dr. Caligari (1920), de Robert Wiene (a las 0.30).
Otros clásicos que se anuncian para lo que resta del mes son La pasión de Juana de Arco (1928), de Carl T. Dreyer, con Maria Falconetti (el viernes, a las 22, y el sábado, a las 0.30); La caída de la casa Usher (1928), de Jean Epstein, de acuerdo con el relato de Edgar Allan Poe (este viernes y el 26, a las 0); la obra maestra de terror El gato y el canario (1927), de Paul Leni (el sábado, a las 22); Una mujer de París (1923), de Charles Chaplin, con Edna Purviance y Adolphe Menjou (el 26, a las 18); Tempestad sobre Asia (1928), de Vsevolod Pudovkin (el 26, a las 22); La línea general (1929), de Sergei Eisenstein (el 27, a las 22), y finalmente, Fausto (1926), de Friedrich W. Muranu (el 27, a la 0).
Las proyecciones contarán con acompañamiento musical de la National Film Chamber Orchestra que coordina y dirige Fernando Kabusacki.
