MUSIC: This album consists of original music. Without representing a specific genre, aims to give an
updated local identity. The creative core is defined by simple melodies in short songs without solos or
improvisation development.
MUSICIANS: In the recording participated gifted musicians of great stylistic flexibility. After several
rehearsals and live performances, the group had a high performance during the recording of tracks in the
studio.
SOUND: Mariano „Manza‟ Esain was in charge of recording, production and mixing. His presence allowed
to take an ambitious plan sound: Merge the acoustic recording of the band live with everyday sounds,
added in a delicate process of post-production. The recording was made with great professionalism at
legendary ION Studios in Buenos Aires. Mastering by Andrew Mayo.
DESIGN: Laura Varsky, in charge of design, built a set that includes eight illustrations, printed on papers
and inks carefully selected. Each track corresponds to an illustration that graphically represent the
conceptual argument of the music. In a fascinating process, illustrator Leo Castelao spent months
translating music to drawings. On the vinyl edition, illustrations are presented in eight sheets, with the
piano scores included.
