Compositions for guitar and radio pieces.
Recorded and composed between 1999 and 2004.
“Parco is a series of pieces I composed between 1999 and 2006.
The encounter with the song of Lola Kiepja, the last Selk'nam, who died in 1966, deeply marked my activity as a musician.
This series of pieces has its germ and guide in her.
In Parco also converge two interests linked to the song and the environment in which that song came to me: the documentary work both on the material, the landscape or cultural activity and the need to channel the experience lived in trips to Patagonia, the Pampas, the Bolivian highlands and Mexico. Although each of the pieces explores a particular aspect, they all gravitate around those ideas.”

Composiciones para guitarra y piezas radiofónicas.
Grabado y compueso entre los años 1999 y 2004.
"Parco es una serie de piezas que compuse entre 1999 y 2006
El encuentro con el canto de Lola Kiepja, la ultima Selk’nam, fallecida en 1966, marco profundamente mi actividad como músico.
Esta serie de piezas tienen en ella su germen y guía.
En Parco confluyen también dos intereses ligados al canto y al medio en que ese canto llego a mí: el trabajo documental tanto sobre la materia, el paisaje o la actividad cultural y la necesidad de canalizar la experiencia vivida en viajes a la Patagonia, la Pampa el altiplano boliviano y México. Aunque cada una de las piezas explore un aspecto en particular, todas gravitan alrededor de esas ideas."
