My Ceriv Is Low And Soft But No Period



By Luis Paz. Culture & Entertainment - Página/12, April 16, 2011 .- The Chilean singer-songwriter Gepe not need to use exclamation points. Not her music or a speech signal that is accurate to say something remarkable or to give a conclusive definition. Gepe sings and talks like: baring interest, sensitivity and clarity without preamble oral modulation. Do not cry to show disgust, no voice breaks to account for sadness. Just speak or sing, and that naturally lies part of the most notable of his music. "It has to do with my country on the Pacific coast of America are more introverted and nostalgic" is an excuse, and it may suffice to compare the popular music Argentina to Chile to understand the distinction: not only are there different accents in orality ( that tune, this tune), also in the armed poetic: "The Chilean music is narrative, descriptive. It is something that has to do with our poetic tradition: displaying images, not stories," continues. Impressionist then Gepe music away from Fauvism to invite to think, not to indicate where or how.

For specific gravity and also by timing, the Gepe (Daniel Rivera, 29 years) is one of the key male voices of his generation. Something easily verifiable, or flip: just heard his recent Audiovison , presented last night and still shows today at midnight Dada Space (Borges 1655), or its former Gepinto and Hungary, one traditional, the other closer to pop mail. In particular, Gepe ranks among the authors of the new generation of elementary songs, which fit from the Uruguayan Franny Glass to Lisandro Aristimuño: aesthetes of the songs are "base", beautiful in (and by) its minimalism almost ornamental surface, but which are densified to give due attention. "There is a temporary situation that leads people to focus on this type of music: the processes occurring in the region, social, political and cultural, have returned to bring the music of Eduardo Mateo, Violeta Parra and Victor Jara. In parallel, there has been the emergence of many young artists working with sound from the same privacy, but with other topics and current forms. "


paradigmatic One of his songs (in fact it feels like ' The most successful "of which he composed) is" friendly neighbors ", the opening of the last album: it is a more alert to dreamy pop, minimalism morning a debtor rather than a night vigil. In any case, the oneiric it is not their musical embellishment, but its proposal. "Many friends, some neighbors, it is your desire. The one with all: to subvert this logic neighboring nearby, a top or side by side in a building or neighborhood, and eventual reunion of friends. In it, a Gepe had enough of the clapping and hooting, voice and strings to apply a communal concept, but also endorsed by the irresistible "12 ore" or the epic "Victory Rome."


"Every record is a test, I'm no good to find something very specific or very close to a concept," admits Gepe, designer also received, following the race "to have a tool of interpretation" rather than a source of income. "Somehow I feel that songs design: choose your items, made a composition with them in seeking to shape an idea. I've only recorded discs when I felt I had an idea that was passed or not the previous. Or at least more mature. "
