eventos

Alude a eventos de diferente naturaleza, sobre todo musical (conciertos, fiestas,etc.).

Con todos ustedes, desde Brooklyn… ¡Barbez!

Lástima que tanta gente se haya perdido un concierto como el de ayer, ya que Barbez estuvieron magníficos. Más aún, geniales.

A pesar de actuar sin una de sus estrellas, la vocalista de origen ruso Ksenia Vidyaykina, se mostraron como una máquina perfectamente engrasada de hacer música. Probablemente el concierto hubiera cambiado de forma significativa con la presencia de esta última, no en vano se trata de una frontwoman espectacular; si bien es cierto que su sustituta cede protagonismo a favor de los demás integrantes, me gustaría escuchar alguna grabación de estudio con esta nueva formación, ya que no creo que desmerezca la labor de su predecesora (aunque quizás esto sea mucho decir).

Ocho o nueve instrumentos musicales y tres voces tejiendo fragmentos enmarañados e intensos con otros mucho más sosegados, para lograr un sonido realmente progresivo. Y, eso sí, oscuro, casi siempre oscuro. Reminiscencias folkies de una Europa del este (¿turca? ¿armenia quizás?), tanto en ritmos como en melodías, aderezadas por el virtuosismo técnico de Pamela Kurstin, una de las mejores intérpretes de theremin del mundo, según dicen. Curioso instrumento éste, siempre pienso que es como el llanto de un violín; melancólico casi toda la actuación, pero encolerizado por momentos.

Y claro, se informa uno de la discográfica de estas buenas gentes y descubre que se trata de un sello que ha editado trabajos de gente como Piano Magic, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Merzbow, Dresden Dolls, Noam Chomsky o Wolf Eyes.

Va a ser que eso de las casualidades no existen para ciertas cosas.

O.R.E. message

To whom it may concern.

This message was not composed either to accuse or to absolve, but solely written to shed some light on the recent incidents, resolving in the cancellation of two Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio concerts i Lisbon and Gaia Portugal on the weekend of October 14th and 15th 2005.

Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio and Spiritual Front were recently invited by Sol Negro Production / Sol Pedra Magazine to perform in Lisbon and Porto Portugal on the weekend of October 14th & 16th 2005. It was all agreed and about to happen; but we only came as far as the airport before we realized that a series of unexpected (organizational and administrative) complications had put an end to our plans, complications which ultimately resolved in an even more unexpected cancellation of both concerts at 16.00 (04.00 p.m) yesterday afternoon.

After more or less eight hours at Arlanda airport Stockholm Sweden, from 05.00 – 12.30, it became unpleasantly clear that all attempts to get to Porto Portugal, were in vain; the tickets remained booked but also unpaid, and when the KLM personnel kindly informed me over the phone, that our reservation had been cancelled from Portugal at 14.30 (02.30 p.m), it was only a matter of time before another phone call from Sol Negro Productions informed me that the whole event had been cancelled.

It is difficult to determine who is ultimately responsible for all this, for the mistakes which ultimately resulted in the concerts being cancelled, so I will not use this opportunity to speculate and make accusations, but solely extend my apologies to each and everyone who had hoped to see us play, who had bought tickets and possibly travelled quite some distance to attend the concerts. We are truly sorry on your behalf, and hope that the possibility of returning to Portugal and perform, will present itself again.
