Light-years from home
In an eternal quest
Searching for the soul of stars,
As well as for my own.
Like a child afraid of darkness,
Like a stingray out of water,
Naked in the cosmic ocean,
Thirsty in the sea of questions,
Stepping in ethereal soil,
Leaving footprints in an empty road,
I´m letting fall my stones
and righting my own wrongs.
There is no need to walk away,
It makes no sense breaking into tears.
I will uproot anger and pride,
And will gently look inside.
Being part of all around
But with a cosmos in my heart,
I will finish this useless getaway,
I won´t look for answers far away.
My closed eyes will see my soul
And a free mind will rise above.
Never again I will look at the emptiness
As, my inner being is all I need

The Quest is the opening piece from "Vacaciones en Gstaad". It was composed by Franco and me and has a vocal spoken performance by Mara Causin. The basic drone was made with a portable radio through a Jim Dunlop wah wah. We used some software like Mixere and Rebirth and also tape manipulation. We recorded some guitars with a mini-cassette recorded and then twisted them by the use of effects. You´ll also hear alto sax, clarinet and electric guitar among other things. The vocals were also treated with creative distortion and as a texture by the use of Mixere. To listen the piece, click on the player, to download the whole album for free, follow the link below.

THe Quest es la pieza de apertura de "Vacaciones en Gstaad". Fue compuesta por Franco y por mí y tiene una performance vocal hablada de Mara Causin. El drone de fondo fue hecho al pasar una radio portátil a través de un pedal wah wah Jim Dunlop. Usamos software como rebirth y mixere en el tema y también cintas. Grabamos algunas guitarras con un grabador de periodista y luego procesamos severamente esas grabaciones por medio de efectos. También escucharán en la obra saxo alto, clarinete y guitarra eléctrica entre otras cosas. Las voces fueron tratadas con un proceso de distorsión creativa y como una textura por medio de Mixere.

Basset Hounds grabando...

Gstaad Basset Hounds are recording a new album. Its possible title is "El Esmilodonte Asimétrico". Though it will have some experimental tracks, it will be in a more melodic way, than the ones which appeared in "Vacaciones en Gstaad", where experimentation took a different way (the exploration of timbre, for example). But the tone of the album  will be highly oriented to the blues and it will also include some covers such as "Girl From the North Country" by Bob Dylan, "All Day and All of the Night" by The Kinks and Jesus Chariot, a traditional song which was performed by Neil Young.

I am showing some photos of the last recording session where Franco recorded nylon acoustic guitar

Gstaad Basset Hounds están grabando un Nuevo album, cuyo possible título será "El Esmilodonte Asimétrico". Aunque contará con algunos tracks experimentales, serán éstos de corte más melódico que los incluidos en "Vacaciones en Gstaad", en donde la experimentación pasaba por otros caminos (lo tímbrico, por ejemplo). Pero el tono general del album estará bastante ligado al blues y también incluirá algunos covers como "Girl From the North Country" d Bob Dylan, "All Day and All of the Night" de The Kinks y Jesus Chariot, un tema tradicional que ha sido interpretado por Neil Young.

éstas son algunas fotos de la última sesión, en donde Franco grabó algunas pistas de guitarra electrocriolla 

Circuit Bending

A couple of toys that I circuit bent to be used as instruments. The phone was used in the song "the quest" from "Vacaciones en Gstaad". Though I played a little with he spider-man walkie-talkie, It is still anxious to enter in action.

Un par de juguetes circuitbendeados por mí, para ser usados como instrumentos. El teléfono fue usado en el tema "The Quest" de "Vacaciones en Gstaad". Aunque me divertí un poco con el walkie-talkie de spider-man, este isntrumento todavía espera ansiosamente entrar en acción.

THE QUEST

Light-years from home
In an eternal quest
Searching for the soul of stars,
As well as for my own.
Like a child afraid of darkness,
Like a stingray out of water,
Naked in the cosmic ocean,
Thirsty in the sea of questions,
Stepping in ethereal soil,
Leaving footprints in an empty road,
I´m letting fall my stones
and righting my own wrongs.
There is no need to walk away,
It makes no sense breaking into tears.
I will uproot anger and pride,
And will gently look inside.
Being part of all around
But with a cosmos in my heart,
I will finish this useless getaway,
I won´t look for answers far away.
My closed eyes will see my soul
And a free mind will rise above.
Never again I will look at the emptiness
As, my inner being is all I need.
