Busy in Music

I'm very grateful, very happy for this 2010,

through the year I played 63 live shows with La National Film Chamber Orchestra, plus countless for Filmoteca at Canal 7TV

also played 26 gigs with artists such as Francisco Bochaton, Maria Eva, Maxi Trusso, El Diablo en la Boca, Iman, Sami Abadi, Vertigo Colectivo, Samalea, and solo performances

participated in 2 projects with The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists, in Italy and Argentina, and a performnace of Terry Riley's In C with Francesco Dillon, Alter Ego and other superb musicians at Teatro San Martin

91 live performnaces throughout the year...

also 2 live performances with my students and one at my daughter's kindergarden

for the big screen recorded and completed the soundtrack for Claustropolis together with Matias Mango,

I have 2 records ready: Kabusacki 10, Luck (will be released in Argentina on January 6 2011, and in Japan next April), and Samalea/Kabusacki (featuring Tony Levin) Ai Limiti del Mondo, which is now being mixed

I recorded several guitars for Palito Ortega's upcoming tribute to Neri Nelson CD, a classic rock'n'roll album;

mixed "Metropolis" and have several recordings edited and mastered by La NFCO for release next year..

Charly Garcia's Kill Gil was finally releaed (a stunning album...with tons of guitars in there...) and also Maxi Trusso's Love Gone and Maria Eva's album, and Vertigo Colectivo's, all wonderful records which I'm proud to be part of

...it's been a happy and busy year


Happy 2011!!!!!!!!

another busy week

the making of "kabusacki 10 - luck" took a lot of work. good work, fine work, supported in a great way by this gift given to me years ago by alessandro bruno



the album will be out real soon, and I'm recovering, catching up with different projects

samalea and I went to sagitario studio in lujan last wednesday to deliver the material so leo can begin mixing the kabusacki/samalea cd. it already sounds incredible. tony's bass is stunning!

on thursday matias and I went to ariel lavigna's studio for corrections on the mix of claustropolis, and on to the 5.1 mix. the movie will soon be completed.

friday: recorded guitars for matias' music for a theater play

saturday: rehearsed with the ensamble. 13 of us.

still reading ron wood's book

today u and I went to see "palabra cantada" a brazilian group playing music for kids. they are superb.

tomorrow morning la national film chamber orchestra will be recording melies films at canal 7 TV argentina

an intense last week...played with maria eva at studio samsung, saw hallogallo, played terry riley's in C, received tony's bass tracks and recorded final guitar lines for the samalea/kabusacki cd and saw jeff beck at luna park. hard to recover from so much!!!!!!

Terry Riley In C en el San Martin

I will be playing here next week...


“EN DO” DE TERRY RILEY
Ensamble Alter Ego (Italia) y la participación de músicos argentinos

Manuel Zurria (Italia, flauta) / Oscar Pizzo (Italia, piano) / Francesco Dillon (Italia, violonchelo) / Antonio Caggiano (Italia, percusión) Dirección Francesco Dillon, Manuel Zurria (Italia)

Con En Do (1964), el compositor californiano Terry Riley se convirtió en un adelantado del movimiento minimalista, al introducir un nuevo concepto musical basado en la repetición y superposición de patrones. Como muchas de sus obras, En Do está impregnada de improvisaciones hipnóticas, polimétricas, orquestadas con un brillante sabor oriental, y su influencia se evidenció en la música de compositores prestigiosos como Steve Reich, Philip Glass y John Adams, y en agrupaciones de rock como The Who, The Soft Machine, Tangerine Dream y muchos otros. La versión para esta ocación fue especialmente diseñada por Francesco Dillon y Manuel Zurria.

Disco nuevo de Charly

CHARLY GARCIA Lanza oficialmente “Kill Gil”

Luego de diferentes versiones y rumores, el mítico álbum “Kill Gil” finalmente llegará a bateas de todo el país en formato CD+DVD el próximo 7 de Diciembre. Este álbum que comenzó su produccion hace 4 años es la versión terminada, luego de nuevas grabaciones y mezclas que fueron realizadas durante el 2010 e incluye 12 temas nunca antes publicados. Este es el primer disco de estudio luego de 7 años.
El DVD incluye una versión del álbum en Dolby Sorround 5.1 y acompañado de animaciones de 104 pinturas hechas a mano por Charly Garcia durante el proceso de composición del álbum. Las animaciones interactúan con la música convirtiéndolo en un verdadero y único viaje audiovisual.

Según el propio García, ‘Kill Gil’ es una mini ópera. Cuenta la historia de un chico nacido en el Tercer Mundo, pero que vive en Nueva York y que un día escucha una canción que le hace revivir su origen y entonces decide cambiar al mundo a través de mensajes en sus propias canciones. Aquellos que lo entienden se salvaran, el resto no.
Kill Gil vendría a ser la forma de eliminar “giles” a través de un lenguaje para los que no conocen: “la música”.

El álbum fue producido enteramente en Nueva York por Charly Garcia y el reconocido productor Andrew Oldham.

Entre otros músicos lo acompañaron: Carlos González en bajo, Kiushe Hayashida en guitarra y coros y Tonio Silva en batería. María Eva Albistur, Bernard Fowler, Palito Ortega, Deborah del Corral y Fernando Kabusacki también colaboraron en el mismo.

another busy weekend

exciting weekend...on saturday I played in the delta, in tigre, with jorge vargas
we played for 2 1/2 hours we provided sounds , noise and some music that played with the natural sounds of birds (and a loud water pump too) while people arrived and landed at hay drama festival. this was my ultra portable battery operative setup...very light...






in the evening I went to celebrate charly's birthday in bruni, there was great sounding live music, a seemingly delicious pizza (which I didn't taste because of my diet) and very good wine (one glass). I got photographed with 2 guitar heroes such as negro garcia lopez and facu inigo



...and with the superb diego



on sunday...to the buenos aires zoo with the girls and rehearsal with maria eva in the evening

mixing continues

the little one had a spring day party at school, wearing this crazy shoes...



paula shocron, superb pianist, came to the studio this week and recorded pianos and rhodes for two pieces...wonderful!



mixing continues in san andres... I'm so happy with what I hear!

Mixing

good reviews for maxi trusso's album... here's what rolling stone says...
"Este sí que es un lanzamiento inusual para lo que estamos acostumbrados a escuchar en el rock argentino. Si hubiera aparecido en Estados Unidos o en el Reino Unido, la prensa estaría saludando la aparición de un nuevo solista con ideas y originalidad. Maxi Trusso vivió en Inglaterra (donde tuvo un hit, "Fragments of Life", con el alias Roy Vedas) e Italia, y ya de vuelta en Argentina, editó Leave Me and Cry (2006), con influencias del rock de los 60. Love Gone también está cantado en inglés, pero es algo muy diferente. Canciones de art-rock, con influencias entre las que se pueden detectar la no wave, el kraut rock, el glam, el folk y las producciones de Phil Spector, entre otras (Trusso es un melómano, y se nota), entonadas por una voz que recuerda a David Bowie y el primer David Byrne. La cantidad de arreglos y detalles que hay en cada tema muestran a un compositor que sabe lo que quiere, y cómo conseguirlo. Cuenta además con un elenco formidable: Banda de Turistas lo acompaña en todo el disco, más dos guitarristas tan disímiles como Fernando Kabusacki y Fernando Goin, Alejandro Terán con estupendos arreglos de cuerdas y vientos, Rosario Ortega en coros y Ernesto Romeo (Klauss) con un arsenal de teclados vintage. Entre lo mejor: una nueva versión de "Fragments of Life", la enigmática "John" y la autoexplicativa "Psychodelia 3000".

Danza en Espacios es un proyecto impulsado por bailarinas y coreógrafas de Buenos Aires y otras ciudades de Argentina que apuesta a la diversidad de sus componentes.

Nuclea a diferentes artistas independientes a través de la producción de un ciclo de danza itinerante.
Elegimos para el ciclo espacios convencionales o no convencionales, dando a la producción escénica un marco y un sentido particular. Las obras que se presentan se entienden como piezas inacabadas, posibles de ser modificadas, atravesadas, transgredidas y adaptadas en cada espacio que habiten.

Danza en espacios reducidos

Un ciclo de danza donde buscamos problematizar el concepto de “espacio reducido”.
Cada domingo se verán diferentes obras, improvisaciones, escenas breves que desarrollen esta problemática.
Estas obras escénicas serán generadas durante un proceso de investigación previa, teórica y física, compartida por bailarines y coreógrafos de diversa formación y experiencia.
Queremos durante este ciclo poner ciertas preguntas en escena y que estas escenas generen nuevas preguntas en los espectadores.

Domingos de mayo 20.30 hs.
Entradas $25 /Con desc. $20
C. C. Borges. Viamonte 525. Sala Norah Borges. Experiencias en escena.

Coordinación general: Quío Binetti / Asistencia: Ruth Pezet / Asistencia técnica: José Binetti

Trasnoches macabras

Ma very best wishes to Gustavo Cerati in his recovery.

La National Film Chamber Orchestra played at Malba last night, 2 wonderful Lon Chaney movies, recorded at Canal 7 (Filmoteca) today and will play tomorrow again at Malba.

I changed my setup radically following advice and encouragement from my Orchestra pal Matias Mango: Virtual Guitar (Roland VG99) and a powerbook loaded with Reason. Sounds great, much simpler and lighter, so many sonic possibilities with great quality. I'm happy.

Here;s another good photo by Agustina Arcondo playing at La Trastienda with Bochaton a couple of weeks ago, when I decided to get a new Les Paul in the near future.

with bochaton at la trastienda

here's a good pic with bochaton at la trastienda last thursday, taken by agustina arcondo

no tables at the venue, better for a rock show...



last night I played at malba by myself, the cabinet of dr calegari, good attendance, kind audience

Roma and The Flower

and another highlight from roma: first capuccino with o'reilly at our arrival in italy, before continuing or trip to sassoferrato...




The Flower Movie in Rosario!!!



JUEVES 13 | 19 HS. | EL CAIRO Cine Público | Santa Fe 1120
|| Entrada Libre y Gratuita ||

8 historias inspiradas en la música de Fernando Kabusacki.

En un paisaje desértico, árido, se vislumbra una extraña figura desplazándose lentamente, pero con paso decidido. Internadosé en ese ámbito estéril, este ser pareciera saber exactamente en que punto debe detenerse. A pesar de la homogeneidad que lo rodea solo un lugar es el indicado. Efectivamente, se detiene en un espacio, tan idéntico a cualquier otro. Y entonces se produce el milagro. El poco común personaje se hunde en la arena y queda inmóvil. ¿Inerte? Por su puesto que no; es una semilla de una especie de árbol muy particular: un árbol contador de historias

we hope to make this dvd available soon, possibly together with the images of a live show at nd ateneo


I'm playing with bochaton at la trastienda today
