Music

To define is like limiting itself to few words. According to my life the Music arose from a constant yearning to raise the soul with those forgotten emotions but not for that reason without importance or meaningless. As much the melancholy, the sadness and the lack of affection are feelings so beautiful, and totally deeper than their antonyms. The real life arises from these beauties, those ones that many avoid, those ones are the antagonists of our personal history and they are whom is carving us throughout the road. Who can deny that the experiences that make tears are the greatest ones and the ones that we have left anchored in our hearts and sealed on fire? They build our world, our way to be, to think and to feel. Or I could return in the time and say that the Darkwave or Gothic was born with the first Elegies sung in the Middle Age. The elegiac attitude consist of lamenting anything that is lost: the illusion, the life, the time, a love etc. The Romanticism of century XIX introduced us with its diverse branches a very clear form in which we see and we felt as Darkwave style. I do not want to enter subtilities of differences either between Darkwave or Gothic because it is another theme. I only feel the power of music, melodies and inspiration. Some people could understand these music as evil or demonic, but not for me. I know that there are satanic or evil music singing in the same garden, but I can watch and smell the perfume of those flowers but not to cut them or carry them to my place. I love the beauty where it is. God gave me the gift to choose, I would choose to be one or another. Thanks to God I have always chosen the good one hahaha

Anyway, I want to recommend these following bands: Stoa (Germany), Ophelia’s Dream (Germany), Narsilion (Spain) and Lisa Gerrard (Australia).

I do not know how to define it, because it is not indeed classic music the one that I like. It is called Classical Music to all the music previous to century XX, therefore I assume that it is the unique form to refer me to the music that I like. The Middle Age has a very special connotation for me, a spiritual and physical proximity. As much their history, their legend, their arts and sciences have that mystical essence that everyone of us look for in a personal music. Medieval Music has that enchantment: mystic. From the beautiful Gregorian songs until most pagan hymns they are fine outlines of a inspiring and nostalgic time. The Renaissance and the Baroque period are like musical pearls within all my discography. A melody such as Bach or Vivaldi is difficult to forget. Every chord transports me to those European cities with all that musical energy between its walls. The Romanticism is and will be the nearer musical period to my heart. It is impossible not to feel welcomed and enchanted by Chopin, Beethoven or Wagner. There are people who do not hear this kind of music but I guess that if you do not manage it or do not try to feel the essence of this history they will not never appreciate its true nature and they will not never include/understand it absolutely. There is or there is not a parallel between Stoa, Ophelia’s Dream, Narsilion and Beethoven, Chopin, Wagner? To only name some. Or between Dead can Dance, Lisa Gerrard, Loves is Colder than Dath, Faun, Irfan and the dances, sonatas and songs of the Average Age and the Renaissance? According to the facts there is a lot of similitudes. Many musicians have built their bands over classical inspiration. We can not forget those ancient lessons written by Beethoven, even more if he wrote them with tears.

I want to recommend these tags: Pergolesi’s Requiem, Wagner’s Tannhauser, Beethoven’s 1st symphony, Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion, Couperin’s Lecons de Tenebre, Schubert’s Lieders, Chopin’s Nocturne, Vivaldi’s violin sonatas, etc. There are too many…

Definitively English music has a sensitivity that make it unique in its specie. It could refer me to the incredible influence of The Beatles but it is not my style. We cannot compare the North American bands with the English or European musicians. In the United States the cult to the “plastic” is totally reiterative. I have felt a deep emotion while I have been listen to this kind of music. I am not sure if it is the source for the whole scene but I have heard a lot of bands deeply inspired by the sadness and melancholy, although there are some of them who sings for the beauty and happiness in its different faces. Why does it always rain on me? Closer, A Bad Dream, Somewhere only we know, What If, etc. All of these lyrics maybe causes something in your mind. There are several songs written specially for sensitive souls, at least it is what I guess. There are a lot of good songs floating in the web, and you can catch them easily…

I want to recommend these sounds: Keane, Travis, Embrace, Jay Jay Johanson, Coldplay, Mylene Farmer, Sally Shapiro, and many others.

It must have been around 1993 when I read in a newspaper that “electronic music had died”. The critics did not give much life to this kind of music because they thought it was another plastic style without own life. They believed that this music was made only for dance and totally ephemeral. They never thought that would rise a strong movement built on love and passion for it. Now the electronic phantom has grown so much, and this style arrived to remain definitively. To evolve of thousand forms but never to die. There are thousand types of electronic music that today can to summarize in several styles, most of them quite known, but in fact are so many variations that can not be written here. My personal like prefers music as Scandinavian electronic, ambient, downtempo, electroclash, electrodark, etc. Within this parameter it could not stop mentioning to Kraftwerk, icons of a culture that at the time did not determine the proportions all the success that its influence would generate in many generations of musicians and fans.It is my little hommage for a kind of music that is not died, but it is growing and growing.

I want to recommend these bands: Royksopp (Norway), Trentemoller (Denmark) and Fischerspooner (US).
