Este post va con dedicación a uno de nuestros lectores porteños, Ramiro Bernardo.
Espero me perdones la tardanza, Ramiro y que disfrutes mucho el playlist que te dedico con mucho agradecimiento.
Lo primero que me ha llamado la atención en los grupos que me has mencionado como tus favoritos es que la mayoría tienden a mezclar y a hacer uso de texturas combinando sonidos electrónicos y acústicos y también la elegancia en músicos como Piazzola o Bill Evans. Tomando en cuenta estos atributos, me vino a la mente hacerte un playlist otoñal (considerando también que a Kureishi se le ha llegado a llamar maestro en el “otoño del modernismo”) que explore en su mayoría la elegancia en la música electrónica con tonalidades acústicas y bajo este concepto me la he pasado buscando canciones en mi libreria que pudieran ser de tu agrado. La duración del playlist es de 53 minutos y te he incluido muchas de las canciones que mas impresión me han causado en estas semanas y como me has dicho que eres fan, uno de mis lados b favoritos de Björk que espero nunca hayas oido.
A continuación pegó el texto de Hanif Kureishi que me has pasado y que ha despertado un vouyerismo inmenso de mi parte por este peculiar escritor de accidentes íntimos y obsesiones personales.
“Desde el principio, empezando por las chicas del colegio y sobre todo las profesoras, me pasé la infancia mirando a las mujeres en las tiendas, en la calle, en el autobús, en las fiestas, preguntándome cómo se sentiría uno con ellas. En el colegio, tiraba el lápiz bajo la mesa de la profesora para arrastrarme debajo y mirarle las piernas. La poco metódica naturaleza del sistema educativo me permitió desarrollar un interés entusiasta por las faldas de las chicas, por conocer sus materiales y texturas, por saber si eran plisadas, sueltas o ceñidas, y en este último caso dónde ceñían. Las faldas, como los telones de los teatros más tarde, despertaban mi curiosidad. Quería saber qué había debajo. Había que esperar la ocasión favorable para descubrirlo. La falda era un objeto de transición; una cosa en sí misma y al mismo tiempo la posibilidad de ir más allá. Eso se convirtió en mi paradigma de todo conocimiento trascendental. El mundo es una falda que quiero levantar.”
- Hanif Kureishi, fragmento del libro Intimidad.
Muchisimas gracias por tu apoyo!

This post goes with dedication to one of our Buenosairean readers, Bernardine Ramiro. I wait for pardons tardanza, Ramiro and that benefits much playlist that I dedicate to you with much gratefulness. First that has called me the attention in the groups that you have mentioned to me like your favorites is that the majority tends to mix and to also do use of textures combining electronic and acoustic sounds and the elegance in musicians like Piazzola or Bill Evans. Taking into account these attributes, playlist came to the mind hacerte autumnal (also considering that to Kureishi has been gotten to him to call teacher in the “autumn del modernismo”) that explores in its majority the elegance in electronic music with acoustic tonalities and low east concept me I have passed looking for it songs in my libreria that they could be of your affability. The duration of playlist is of 53 minutes and I have to you including many of the songs that but impression they have caused to me in these weeks and like you have said that you are fan, one to me of my favorite sides b of Björk which I never hope you have oido. Next it stuck the text of Hanif Kureishi that you have happened to me and that has waked up an immense vouyerismo of my part by this peculiar writer of intimate accidents and personal obsessions. “From the beginning, beginning by the girls of the school and mainly the professors, I went the childhood watching to the women in the stores, the street, the bus, in the celebrations, asking to me how one with them would feel. In the school, it threw the pencil under the table of the professor to drag to me underneath and to watch the legs to him. Little the methodical nature of the educative system allowed to develop an enthusiastic interest me by the skirts of the girls, to know its materials and textures, by knowing if they were plisadas, loose or fitted, and in this last case where they fitted. The skirts, like the drop curtains of the theaters later, woke up my curiosity. It wanted to know what there was underneath. It was necessary to hope the favorable occasion to discover it. The skirt was a transition object; a thing in itself and at the same time the possibility of going further on. That became my paradigm of all transcendental knowledge. The world is a skirt that I want to raise.”
really pleased you liked albatreos! did you get my email?
Yann Tiersen siempre me hace imaginarme a santa claus tomando ron en una silla, haciendo maravillas con su acordeón y riendo.
nunca habia escuchado esa canción ‘domestica’, pensé que solo había sido un nombre temporal para el lanzamiento de Vespertine
Gracias por el post, Moka. Tu tardanza provocó un hecho mágico, el de coincidir la fecha del post con mi cumpleaños. Cincuenta y tres minutos de música son un bonito regalo.
te mando un beso.

[...] 38. Destroyer - Destroyer’s Rubies Daniel Bejar definately proved he was just as good solo as he was in the New Porographers with this release. It never grew on me as much as I’d hoped, but it’s still an adventure listening to this album the whole way through. His lyrics are great, and the music behind his singing is disjointed, yet entireably listenable. The opening track flirts with the 10 minute mark and set the tone for the rest of the album. Fans of a crazier, less poppy New Pornos should enjoy this. mp3: Painter in Your Pocket 37. Max Richter - Songs From Before His album The Blue Notebooks made my top 10 in 2004. While this follow up doesn’t match that effort, it’s still some of the best modern classical music out there and I’m guessing you don’t have many albums from that genre in your collection. Do yourself a favor and pick up both his debut album and this new one. This is the epitome of homework music, which is a very good thing. mp3: Harmonium [...]
