Volatile #9
\nIn this edition we will have a double bill with the following performances:
\n1\/ Pablo Volt | presents \u201cHow to survive the summer\u201d
\n\u201cThe songs on this album were recorded during the last 15 days of July and the first 10
\nAugust 2023 following the same method: every day before breakfast and before going to sleep
\nrecorded an improvisation with the trumpet, as a survival strategy for the heat and lack of
\nmoney in the middle of summer, also as an exercise in spiritual salvation.
\nOnce the improvisation was recorded, he added two more tracks, limiting the material to only 3 tracks on
\ntotal: one track with the original improvisation and two others with a sample of that track
\nthat I can manipulate and play to transform into keyboards, voices or percussions. Following this
\nstrategy I was composing pieces at a rate of two per day. The limitation of material and
\nmethodology conditioned the result: in the morning recordings, for example, made without
\nwarm up or before having breakfast, I would write down the first thing that came into my head as if I were writing down the
\ndreams or practice automatic writing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nexpansive aspect, the tension between the abstract and the minimalist melody, drone, ambient and
\nuse of elements typical of North American folk. He has been a member of the training
\nV\u00f6lga and L’Ocell, with whom he has published several albums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
