Electric Garden by Gerardo Ubieda for Atabal Productions

Electronic contemporary Experimental Music
Electric Garden
It all begins in August 2004, when I decide to take my mobile studio to the beautiful and paradisiacal Choroní, to find inspiration and work from a new angle, in another environment, outside the kitchen. In this way I begin to experiment with loops and manipulation of sounds, rhythms, sound environments, walking in the nights on the boardwalk thus giving free rein to creativity until I find my partner all that time, the muse. There I also bought the work of art that adorns the cover of this CD, an idea that arises circumstantially for a very personal reason, since it represents a tribute, a thank you and a tribute to my wife. Electric Garden then becomes a coming and going of waves, fish, fresh air, laughter, sadness, a few sunny days with a lot of heat and a blue sky, starry nights where the vision into the depths of the imagination becomes infinite, cloudy days, the feeling after a deception, the harmony and the rest of stress. And the total expression.

I worked for three weeks, I resumed the ideas in Caracas where they matured and completed, returning to that inspiration, but this time from my kitchen. In addition, I used other melodies, phrases and improvisations, recordings of environments (of the birds of chuao at sunset) made previously that fluttered in my head.

All this, along with the everyday moments and realities of Venezuela, would later become this musical proposal. All this experience is heard in these eleven pieces that today, in 2006, see the light in this valley under another perspective with great enthusiasm, full of nostalgia and suffering for the loss of a loved one, but on the other hand with the conviction that that light that is eternal, will always illuminate the passion of moving forward until a new encounter.
