There is a coexistence between improvisation and composition in the album, and, although each piece was created with a different approach, they are all narratively linked to a common imaginary that is represented in the lyrics and artwork of the album. This imaginary is a mixture of dreams, tales and the transgenerational memory of a small town. All tracks composed by Jorge Manzano, except 1995, composed by both María Castro and Jorge Manzano. -Cristina Rubio: voice on "Páramo". -Jorge Manzano: electric and acoustic guitar, extended techniques, electronic devices, field recording and artwork. -Jaby Sánchez: electric guitar and electronic devices. -Miriam Moreno: alto sax and flute. -Javier Moreno: bass. -Pier Bruera: drums, percussion and extended techniques. -María Castro: sound processing, audio programming, electronic devices, and field recording on 1995, artwork. Recording by Pablo Bermejo &amp; Benito Díaz. Mixing by Pablo Bermejo. Mastering by Ernesto Santana. Recorded live during June 14 and 15, 2021, at Bunker de San Crispín, Madrid, Spain.

Using different elementes like electronic devices, extended techniques or graphic scores.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The duo is influenced by pioneering improvisers such as Derek Bailey, Milford Graves and Han Bennik, drawing inspiration from jazz legends like Paul Motian, as well as contemporary artists such as Jim Black, Ben Monder, Joey Baron and Marc Ribot. Bruera/Manzano / November 2021 Live in Cafe El Despertar / October 19, 2023 &nbsp; &nbsp; The project started in Madrid in the autumn of 2021, following the recording of Páramo, when both members first met. Since then, the project has collaborated with various improvisers and has been involved in interdisciplinary proyects with other artists like contemporary dancer and improviser Alazne Uralde. https://jorgemanzanoguitar.com/Teaching Sun, 24 Mar 2024 19:11:00 +0000 Jorge Manzano: guitarist, composer & improviser https://jorgemanzanoguitar.com/Teaching Teaching &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The purpose of this page is to give a window into my teaching method. I have been giving private lessons and teaching in formal academies as a parallel profession/passion since I started my bachelor's degree. Through all these years of experience I have developed a method for teaching guitar, improvisation and composition all intertwined and have grown a deep love for it. The greatest reason being the satisfaction of helping and guiding an individual on their artistic journey, but also, because I often learn very much! If interested, you might continue reading for a more detailed overview of the 5 pillars of my teaching method. I.Guitar&nbsp; Learn all the notes, intervals, arpeggios, scales and chords necessary in the guitar fretboard to un-lock it and being able to navigate freely through it. Learn technical exercises to improve your expression,&nbsp; coordination, accuracy, agility, strenght and endurance in your playing, while avoiding tension and bad postures, reducing the risk of injury. <img width="8181" height="4238" width_o="8181" height_o="4238" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d818ab99b82cd164afeb2ddaf86c0926946e7ba611bad2f778a7c5f013b553f1/guitar-complete.png" data-mid="207742748" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d818ab99b82cd164afeb2ddaf86c0926946e7ba611bad2f778a7c5f013b553f1/guitar-complete.png" /> five patterns to rule them all <img width="775" height="325" width_o="775" height_o="325" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb7260ae5bd5ef633fa4eeb4e76aaf7c1c468c5db529cabdd370cf7520d5f5f1/ear-ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif" data-mid="207710573" border="0" data-scale="45" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/775/i/bb7260ae5bd5ef633fa4eeb4e76aaf7c1c468c5db529cabdd370cf7520d5f5f1/ear-ezgif.com-gif-maker.gif" /> II.Ear training Having a trained ear capable of recognizing common intervals, chords and progressions is one of the fundamental tools for developing your musicality. Some students come with some knowledge of ear training, but they cannot identify intervals without singing them aloud. The key is to develope inner hearing. Being able to hear an idea in your head before singing it or playing it while improvising is crucial. III.Improvisation Improvisation is about being present in the moment, it’s not about doing mental calculations. Therefore, learning to simplify the way of looking at harmony when improvising is essential.&nbsp; Learn the necessary tools to improvise effectively in different contexts. Tonal and modal pieces of music requiere different approaches, as does free improvisation - a totally different world. <img width="1082" height="866" width_o="1082" height_o="866" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/16c70babfba4c57d8cdac758f5b0b33d28b7a291616e91f1c039088c6b03593c/circle.png" data-mid="207752111" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/16c70babfba4c57d8cdac758f5b0b33d28b7a291616e91f1c039088c6b03593c/circle.png" /> <img width="1081" height="865" width_o="1081" height_o="865" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d5a3dad18703255b1f8b5bc988d5e6e6e0aeb08424ffe6450ec63daa667db07b/straight-line.png" data-mid="207752112" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d5a3dad18703255b1f8b5bc988d5e6e6e0aeb08424ffe6450ec63daa667db07b/straight-line.png" /> tonality (circle) vs modality (line) “A chord progression is a circle, and what you’re trying to do is play a straight line through a circle.

Many times, a melody, a solo or a comping doesn’t work not because of the notes you choose, but due to rhythm. In fact, rhythm can often legitimaze playing wrong notes and make them sound great.As a result, cultivating a strong and precise rhythmic concept is essential for both your playing and composing practice. V.Transcription Often, students approach me with the fear of sounding too much like the artist they are transcribing. Transcription is not simply ‘copying’ the masters. You won’t lose your artistic individuality by transcribing them. On the contrary, learning to interiorize the music ideas of your influential artists that most resonate with you and conect them to your individual artistic language will help you find and develope your own voice.

why my method is based on the teaching legacy of a series of renowed figures in guitar pedagogy and/or improvisation such as Ted Greene, George Van Eps, Lennie Tristano, Mick Goodrick, Hal Galper, and many others who have taught or have been a main influence and a source of inspiration to musicians who are now among the best.

Humidity: higher humidity levels contribute to increase the amount of reverb in the output. Weather: the prevailing weather condition (e.g. “clouds”) and its description (e.g. “broken clouds”) impact the selection of notes played throught a point system. Data retrieved from openweathermap.org.Sunrise and sunset: the day is divided in different phases based on the night-day cicle. These phases are known as astronomical dawn, nautical dawn, civil dawn, morning, afternoon, civil dusk, nautical dusk, astronomical dusk and night. Each time of the day has a different mood and it affects the musical scale to be used. Data retrieved from sunrise-sunset.org.&nbsp; Temperature and wind speed: these two combined parameters shift the tonal center through an intervalic complex system.
