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.

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.

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

with tele



here's a pic by agustina arcondo taken last friday at niceto, I felt much more comfortable with my g&l telecaster...the pickups are great. I used it through my mxr distortion, rat, boss dd20 giga delay and line 6 dl4 delay modeller and fender blues deluxe tweed amp... high volume on stage...excited and friendly audience

I confirmed my tkt for rome

on saturday I worked with samalea on the order and spacing of pieces for "la national film chamber orchestra plays metropolis live". happy to work with sama after long time!

in the evening played with La NFCO at el rosedal.

Iman played yesterday!




I'm still struggling with my jaguar, I think I need to have its pickups waxpotted, or replaced, too much high freq feedback at high volume. I will send it to de castro for adjustment, setup and advice,

meanwhile I will use my tele for the upcoming shows with bochaton and iman

a very intense day yesterday, working with students in the morning, recording for clautropolis in the afternoon and playing with iman in the evening.

I enjoyed playing with iman, I would have liked to see alejandro's face, but a mirror was not easily available...very good attendance, many good friends and musicians in the audience... sama, tito, lolo, juan, maria laura, fede...

the band is getting together and I can see the recordings happenning soon; thelonous is a wonderful venue and we felt very well treated. remarkable.

iman plays again next wednesday feb 10th in virasoro

recording

la national film chamber orchestra played last friday at malba, last saturday at el rosedal and it's recording music for claustropolis in my new studio.
today we recorded bandoneons, guitars, strings and fantasia.... after the first session with enzo the engineer and matias I went back to the studio and set up a second room that will become my PRS "personal recording space". I loaded the movie on vegas, a program I can manage, and setup a GR1 to drive my powerbook loaded with reason and amazing refills...

my new anvil pedalboard is ready but it's impossibly heavy. so I decided to order a soft case from meg, and have wheels put on the anvil...hoping to try both options soon.

Fuga Grafica

I travelled to Rosario last Saturday to see Charly play at The Hipodromo. Great to see Charly play again, great to see the band in action and Los Aliados in action again (this wonderul army of fans / friends /supporters of Charly). The band sounded great. I was particularly moved in a few spots: Kiuge's solo on No te Animas, Charly and Nito together, Charly and Fito together (Fito's piano playng was stunning!). This capacity of this new Charly to play WITH somebody is remarkable. Also seeing him in "conductor" mode was great. Very good concert, I'm glad I went. Well, also the after show dinner at La Refineria was a highlight...Charly was a very happy boy, I rarely saw such a smile in his face.

Yesterday I played a solo improv performance at Fuga Grafica, the performance felt good to me. I played after Pablo Ribot (great set) and before Luis Marte and Lothus, whose performances I missed... I forgot the transfo for my Kaoss Pad so I played without it which ended up being an advantage: I could focus in the music, the sound and the notes more than "in what effects to use".

Back home tired but happy.

Francisco Bochatón en La Cigale

El músico platense brilló en la noche del jueves

El espacio reducido del escenario de La Cigale podía presagiar un recital en el que Francisco Bochatón priorizara el lado más acústico de su repertorio. Sin embargo, el trovador platense optó por dar junto al trío que lo acompaña, un show eléctrico y adrenalínico. Eso sí, aprovechó muy bien la cercanía que tenía con su público para mantener un diálogo continuo y cargado de ironía con los presentes. Así, la vuelta de Soda Stereo, las corbatas de Miranda! o los Pixies (los músicos se animaron a pedido del público a improvizar la intro del clásico “Here comes your man”) fueron algunos de los tópicos sobre los que un Bochatón afilado, distendido y algo mareado se refirió a lo largo del show. Las drogas y la bebida fueron otros lugares recurrentes en la fluida conversación entre el artista y su público. De hecho, a alguien se le escuchó gritar: “Francisco, tenés poesía en tu vaso”


En cuanto a las canciones, todo comenzó con “Feliz cumpleaños”, a partir de la cual Francisco propuso un viaje por los terrenos conocidos y, otros no tanto, de su carrera solista y sólo se detuvo en unas pocas canciones del reciente “Tic- Tac”. Entre estos temas, sobresalieron “Balvanera” y la frágil y ya adoptada como favorita por los fans “Tu voz se va”. De su ex banda, los fundamentales Peligrosos Gorriones, sonaron “Amo el jardín” y una poderosa versión de la oscura “Manicomio gris”


“Canto familiar”, “Ausente” y “Gaviota”, ésta última con un nuevo arreglo en la guitarra de Fernando Kabusacki, fueron otros momentos impecables del show en el que la poética y la facilidad para crear melodías memorables de Bochatón volvió a quedar en primer plano. Hablando de poética y de poetas, cuando sonó “22 :33” fue difícil no reparar en esa letra tan original como bella, la cual a la manera de Oliverio Girondo, dentro de 50 años va a seguir siendo vanguardista.


Bochatón y su banda ayudaron a que la noche del jueves, con ese clima casi veraniego fuese más perfecta aún.

Washington Dulles Hilton

En route to Buenos Aires from Seattle, the flight to BA got cancelled, so I was sent to the Dulles Hilton, flying back home later today.

I'm flying back home after a week retreat in Raft Island with The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists. Part of this project was a performance by Tuning the Air presenting Robert Fripp and The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center.

After this project I stayed a few days at Tuning the Air member (and also Electric Gaucho!) Travis in Seattle. A very comfortable house in Ballard. We attended I very nice party where I presented my abilities as a dancer (I'm sure most of this blog readers were unaware of this specialty of mine…).

I also spent 3 days in Las Vegas: Charly received a Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award to the Musical Excellence. !!!!!! A moving ceremony. Gustavo Santaolalla and Grammy's president handed him the award. Delicious lunch and various parties and shows followed. It was nice to see Coti there (now a very popular singer songwriter), with whom I shared the stage as guitarist with Javier Calamaro many years ago. Also Diego Frenkel was there (we had lots of fun together!). I even got to share a limo ride with El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, sitting next to Maestro Eddie Perez, one of the founders of the Combo.

I was invited to perform in New York with Diego and Andres Levin last Monday but could not arrange my flights.....that was very frustrating....

After much glam, I was happy to be back in Seattle, where I met with several friends. I had a very nice stay in Seattle.

Now I'm stuck in this luxurious hotel in Washington, having a cake from Cupcake Royale for breakfast, looking forward to get back home.
