A wonderful review by Data.Wave








All the tracks from the new album La Niña Junco (released on the label 12k) by Federico Durand are real lullabies reminding us of the beautiful and tranquil time of our childhood. You won't find any radically innovative musical moves here; instead you'll see how using just sincere ingenuity and sound a musician can create a musical piece with ease and simplicity. 

The first track La historia de la niña junco is a tender beginning to Federico's story. Just a few minutes in 
we can already feel the forest and the sound of the wind, listening to his track with a title that speaks for itself:Navidad en el Bosque. I'm also impressed by the harmony of the background noises and the lead melodies of the tracks. Far-away rustles, micro-sounds and keys of the track Rondel also perfectly fit the overall theme of the album. The mood of this work is pensive and melancholic. 

In my opinion, the main «talking» piece of La Niña Junco is the track called Una plaza junto a las vias del tren; its light and marvellous melody sticks in your memory. It should be noted that the original cover for this release was created by Lola Goldstein, a famous artist from Argentina, the home country of the musican himself. 

As listen to it again and again, I like to imagine how multiple generations of young people grow up listening to the sounds of Federico Durand's music; and let us not forget about the adults, they can be dreamers as well!

New Kazuya Matsumoto by Spekk (Japan) with a special CD souvenir with a concert we made in Niigata, 19th. March 2017




¡Amigos! Kazuya Matsumoto acaba de editar su nuevo trabajo a través de SPEKK (Japón). Grabaciones donde utiliza una cueva de piedra como instrumento musical, dejando que las gotas caigan sobre placas de un metalofón distribuidas sobre la superficie rocosa. ¡Un disco mágico! Quienes compren el disco directamente en Tower Records (Japón) obtendrán, también, un CD especial con el registro del concierto en vivo que Kazuya-san y yo dimos en Niigata el día 19 de marzo de este año. Aquí abajo, comparto fotos y links. ¡Buen día!

Thank you very much! F.
