Recordings in Estudio paramuno are not conceived as finished products, but as part of a working process centered on sound. They function as records of exploration: experiments with instruments, materials, tunings, techniques, repertoires, and musical languages tested under deliberately simple conditions. In this context, recording does not mean fixing a work, but documenting a moment within an ongoing practice.

Several lines of work are currently in preparation, including solo pieces of original composition, the creation of soundtracks, and the exploration of diverse musical traditions. Among them are series in development such as One, Raw, and Bare, conceived as spaces for direct experimentation with instruments, materials, and forms of sound.

There are also earlier recordings in which I participated directly (see below), produced in different contexts and stages of my trajectory: Quebrando el silencio, with the group Wayra (Gran Canaria, Spain, 1996), and Vientos de tierra de vientos (Córdoba, Argentina, 2007), a self-produced work as a multi-instrumentalist. These materials do not correspond to the current lines of work, but form part of the path that leads to them.

New recordings will be added to this space as they are completed.

 

Quebrando el silencio

Quebrando el silencio (Gran Canaria, Spain, 1996) was a collective work produced with the group Wayra, centered on repertoires of Andean music and the Latin American Nueva Canción. My participation took place primarily through wind instruments, contributing to maintaining a consistent sound across the set of pieces.

Vientos de tierra de vientos

Vientos de tierra de vientos (Córdoba, Argentina, 2007) is a solo recording conceived as an exercise in experimentation with instruments and repertoires from the Andean sphere. Produced through the layering of multiple tracks performed by a single musician, it combines arrangements of traditional pieces with original compositions. The result brings together both timbral and structural explorations, as well as the technical and methodological limits of its production process.
