&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;En
el año &lt;st1:metricconverter productid=&quot;1992, a&quot; w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;1992, a&lt;/st1:metricconverter&gt;
raíz de un accidente acústico, comencé a padecer de tinnitus. Durante buen
tiempo su sonido fue muy parecido al tono del tlf.&amp;nbsp; Pero unos años después (en el 2006), producto
de nuevas exposiciones a ruidos intensos, mi tinnitus se acentuó y diversificó,
adoptando sonidos de distinto tipo, y estando presente más de uno a la vez. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Algunos
de estos sonidos mostraron características musicales (como ritmo y altura),
pudiendo ser identificados perfectamente como melodías. Si bien estas melodías eran
generadas al interior de mi propio cerebro, no era yo quien de manera consciente
ni premeditada las estaba construyendo ni componiendo, sino que estaban allí
sonando sin mi intervención.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;A
continuación, a través de una simulación sonora, les muestro un ejemplo de este
tipo de tinnitus experimentado.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;---------------&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;In 1992, due to an acoustic
trauma, I started suffering from tinnitus.
During some time its sound was very similar to the telephone line sound.
However, some years after (in 2006), due to new expositions to load sounds, my
tinnitus became worse and diverse, with different types of sounds, and several
of them being present at the same time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;color: cyan; font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Some of these sounds showed
musical features (as rhythm and picth), and could be perfectly identify as
melodies. Although these melodies were generated inside my brain, it was not me
who in any conscious and premeditated way was constructing or composing
them.&amp;nbsp; These melodies were present there
(in my brain) without my intervention.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: cyan; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Following,
thanks to an audio simulation, I show you a sample of this type of tinnitus
experienced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #6fa8dc;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Otras escalas utilizadas en esta canción son la escala japonesa hirajoshi, y la escala judía ahaba rabba (frigio dominante).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Los acordes que acompañan este &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;solo&lt;/i&gt; son, un acorde menor y otro mayor, sin ninguna disonancia.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Por otro lado, en la canción Sonido XIII [muestra 2], se utilizó la microtonalidad como ornamento, tanto en la melodía desarrollada con el zheng chino, como en el &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;solo&lt;/i&gt; de teclado (sonido de &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;sitar&lt;/i&gt;) de la parte final de la canción. La melodía del &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;zheng&lt;/i&gt; fue desarrollada en base a la escala china-mongola (pentatónica mayor), y el &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;solo&lt;/i&gt; de teclado en base a la raga madhuvanti de la india (&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; todi) tanto en su forma ascendente como descendente.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;En este &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;solo&lt;/span&gt; no hay acompañamiento armónico, sino más bien un sonido (nota) constante ejecutado con la guitarra sin trastes y el &lt;a href=&quot;http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_bow&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;e-bow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Otro instrumento presente en esta canción es la &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;balalaika&lt;/i&gt; rusa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Para oír las canciones completas hacer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/albrkmusic&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;click aquí&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(153, 255, 255);font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Un ejemplo adicional del empleo de la microtonalidad puede ser escuchada en la canción “Dualidad”, donde el &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;solo&lt;/i&gt; de guitarra eléctrica es interpretado utilizando un slide (tubo de metal).

It was by that time (1988) that I attended an audition for the urban and fusion music band called Cantaro.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;After being accepted, I began to work with the band. Joining Cantaro allowed me to apply many of the techniques and concepts I’ve learned in my jazz studies, but this time within the context of fusion music. It was a stage of very important and enriching experimentation. The band worked mainly on the basis of peruvian afro music, salsa and cumbia, but with rock and jazz arrangements. There was no restriction or parameters at the moment of composing. I felt a great freedom for the individual and group creative work. That condition allowed me to contribute with some songs for the band repertoire.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;After almost 2 years of intense and continuous work, I began to notice that what we were doing was simply to play different musical styles and genres within a rock frame. Most of us was not really involved with the world of &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;salsa, cumbia or peruvian afro music in any way. We were basically rock musicians mixing and trying with several rhythms, and doing a hybrid of many things.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;I felt then, it was the moment to stop playing and to dedicate time to improve my skills as a musician, and to deepen my knowledge on some musical genres.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;input name=&quot;kls&quot; value=&quot;0&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot;&gt;&lt;input name=&quot;ienc&quot; value=&quot;utf8&quot; type=&quot;hidden&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt; I left the band, and soon traveled to &lt;st1:city st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Boston&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; to start musical studies, with the wish to learn a lot about fusion, world music and the new existing tendencies in contemporary music scene at that time.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Once I was there I found a context that was different than expected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;___________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Acercarme nuevamente al rock, la salsa y la cumbia me reafirmó en mis gustos y me impulsó a realizar composiciones dentro del estilo de la fusión. Fue por esa época (1988) que fui llamado para una audición con el grupo de música urbana y fusión Cántaro.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Luego de pasar la audición y ser aceptado, comencé a trabajar con ellos. Integrar este grupo me permitió aplicar muchas de las técnicas y conceptos aprendidos en mis estudios jazzísticos, pero esta vez dentro del ámbito de la fusión. Fue una etapa de experimentación muy importante y enriquecedora. Se trabajaba principalmente sobre la base de la música negra, la salsa y la cumbia, pero con arreglos rockeros y jazzísticos. No había restricción alguna ni parámetros al momento de componer. Sentí una gran libertad para el trabajo creativo individual y grupal, lo que me permitió aportar algunos temas al repertorio del grupo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Tras cerca de 2 años de trabajo intenso y continuo, comencé a notar que lo que estábamos haciendo era únicamente, jugar con los géneros y estilos musicales dentro de un marco netamente rockero. La mayoría de nosotros no estaba involucrado en ningún grado con el mundo de la salsa, la cumbia o la música negra. Eramos básicamente rockeros probando con otros ritmos, haciendo un híbrido de muchas cosas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;Sentí entonces que era el momento de dejar de tocar y más bien dedicar tiempo a perfeccionarme como músico, y a profundizar mis conocimientos sobre algunos géneros. Fue así que dejé el grupo y al poco tiempo viajé a Boston para realizar estudios musicales, con la esperanza de aprender más sobre la fusión, la música del mundo y las nuevas tendencias existentes en la música contemporánea.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:Verdana;&quot;  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Estando allí me encontré con un contexto distinto al esperado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;&quot;  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;ES-PE&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://al-brk.blogspot.com/2008/03/acercarme-nuevamente-al-rock-la-salsa-y.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190893641730248122.post-3501971909344366690</guid><pubDate>Mon, 04 Feb 2008 03:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-24T10:05:02.382-07:00</atom:updated><title>The best music of the World?

I listened a lot of music, practiced and rehearsed every time, and made presentations continuously. The improvisation of jazz was for me the &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;non plus ultra&lt;/i&gt; musical expression of freedom and technicality.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;However, in few years, I realized that jazz, as well as many other genres, had their rules and their own parameters within which be developed. I began to note that the most of the musicians resorted to the same elements to carry out their licks, phrasings, and harmonic changes when improvising. I understood that the freedom to improvise, and even to include &quot;out side&quot; notes in a solo, was possible only within a framework preset which the musicians not should leave. Jazz music was after all, a musical language as many others, and everyone who would want to used it&lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;must be aware of and follow its rules.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;Jazz became to me a very predictable music, and all the charm of improvisation was disappearing gradually.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;It was due &lt;span style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to this reflections that I started a phase of revaluation and rediscovering of rock, pop, and latin music, genres that I used to listen when teenager.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:12px;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;_______________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Durante esta etapa formativa mi gusto por el jazz fue muy fuerte. Escuchaba mucha música, practicaba, ensayaba, hacía presentaciones, etc. La improvisación del jazz era para mi, la máxima expresión de libertad musical, así como de tecnicismo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;Sin embargo, con el paso de los años, me di cuenta que el jazz, así como tantos otros géneros, tenían sus reglas y sus propios parámetros dentro de los cuales se desenvolvía. Comencé a notar que casi todos los músicos al improvisar, recurrían a los mismos elementos para realizar sus fraseos, sus giros, y sus cambios armónicos. Entendí que la libertad para improvisar, e incluso para incluir notas “out side” en un &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;solo,&lt;/i&gt; era posible únicamente dentro de un marco preestablecido del cual no se debía salir. El jazz era al fin y al cabo un lenguaje musical como cualquier otro, y todo el que quisiera utilizarlo debía conocer y seguir sus reglas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;El jazz con el paso del tiempo se convirtió para mi, en una música muy predecible, y todo el encanto de la improvisación se fue diluyendo poco a poco.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;  style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; face=&quot;verdana&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;Fue así que comencé una etapa de revaloración del rock, el pop, y la música latina, géneros que yo solía escuchar cuando era adolescente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://al-brk.blogspot.com/2008/02/best-music-of-world-la-mejor-msica-del.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190893641730248122.post-8067622237899692729</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Feb 2008 05:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-08-24T10:05:29.246-07:00</atom:updated><title>The Hare &amp; The Turtle  ( La Liebre y la Tortuga )</title><description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; style=&quot;font-family:Verdana;&quot;&gt;By some reason I born with a special gift for perform and create rhythm patterns, which became evident while I was growing.

The main idea behind them has been the thinking that rules the way I’ve made music and I’ve lived: &lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;“&lt;/i&gt;e&lt;i style=&quot;&quot;&gt;very time you reach a goal, be ready to change the direction, no matter how succesfull could be the present.

This word that comes from &lt;st1:country-region st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, is derived from the arabic al-birka which means “the-pool”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify; color: rgb(153, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;&quot;  lang=&quot;EN-US&quot; &gt;(It was during the second half of the Middle Age that the arab muslims settle down in Andalucia-Spain, where they share the land with jews, gypsies, spanish christians, and African bereberes. There were a mixture of cultures that grew up a great civilization called “Al-Andaluz” which became the main center of cultural and intellectual activity of that time. This fact contributed that &lt;st1:place st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt; could leave the Middle Age to reach the Renaissance)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;

 &gt;Esta letra fue escrita cuando integré el grupo de pop experimental Plaka en 1998.
