Album Notes

Luis Angulo´s diverse musical influences are portrayed here through his experimental loop improvisations.Using guitar synths,effect proccessors and real time looping devices,he is able to paint a broad musical canvas taking you to an unexpected musical journey.
This first release "Primeros Ciclos" is a combination of sonic experimentation and live improvisation all done with an electric guitar.
The first track "comienzo" is a drone followed by a celtic like reed flute guitar synthesizer solo syncronized to a preprogramed drum box 6/8 african rhythm.
The following track "Nataraja dance" is a hypnotic backward guitar loop backed by an indian tabla pattern synced again to a dance groove,sounding like a dancing boa snake.
The dreamy live track "Wasserfall" is a guitar piece with simple layers of canon notes accompanied with a dreamy melody.
"Cajita de musica" is an improvised evolving composition recorded live in Italy.This piece specially demonstrates what a single guitar can do layering synthesizers and guitar sounds put into a repeating loop.Listening to pieces like this it is hard to tell that there is only one person with one guitar creating such a wall of sound.
For an audience a Live Looping concert can be an increadibly inspiring experience because you are not presented with a "finished piece of music",as by the traditional concert form of playing back pre-written music.A direct quotation from the live looping community explains it further:"At a live looping show you are able to follow in detail how each musician is improvising and composing spontaneously and adding his parts to the music - note for note,loop for loop.It's like an instantly evolving ritual of magic that never repeats itself"...
