conservatory are kids who played few times live and only for a select group of friends. They make music for fun and they are recording their first album independently, as craft. The idea, have a material to share with friends and distribute it for free over the Internet, which serves as a record of an era that is no longer, because the band itself is dissolved.
Gabriel Schubert, the snail, tells us from Rosario as the beginnings of Risotragia. Among its lines reveals the youthful and creative, dynamic and non-conformism of a band to the ephemeral and doomed from its inception. Unwilling to surrender to the structures and conventions risotragicos breech the dancers become flesh of his art and living as a creative force, showing us that "music can be seen, but mostly experienced."
[Juaco]: The first image that Risotragia presented was a video recorded in the courtyard of a house on a warm day, playing in leather and with a pair of rubber bottom that moved to the rhythm the drum. But his music is delicate and sophisticated. Are identified with the duality between the bizarre and the learned, between comedy and tragedy?
[Gabi]: Of course, a little way we are. I remember the day we came up with the name of the band, we were thrown talking, walking endless moments are called "bedtime" and started naming names they gave us shame others and after a while, we decided to think of the name for our theater, the slogan was: What name would have to take our theater? and so I think the best was risotragia q, although the name does not stay that night very well defined, it will eventually hit us. Several times, too, Went the idea of \u200b\u200bnot having nignun name, or have many, or one for every occasion because change is imminent and carry a name of something that is not, does not seem so right, sometimes it is not known what is, in this case, it would not take any names.
Returning to the theme of duality, I think the only way we take things WTF talk seriously, fuck, We believe our own lies and from there make music or what we do.
[Juaco] Where does the group as close to progressive rock, symphonic or whatever to do?
[Gabi]: The group appeared in an era when Nico and I were living together in a house. One day we went to visit Jeremy (the buttocks bateriles) that we saw no q to year and two days after our visit to his pension, he took the decision to throw it (go one to suspect it will have been the butt of rubber?). It was then invite Jeremy to live with us, submitting hehe Asinara conditions (we were 3 in one piece). Born there are infinite things that she could not tell, and one of them was the band.
At that time we used to listen to jazz from '50s and one of the names that were known to our piece was "El Bulo Lo De Jere." After we met Esteban, pianist and keyboardist, who came to us through contact in the same college where we studied. Seems to be a coincidence but all find in common a love of 70's rock. ELP, Yes, Genesis, Crimson and those who already know, as well as the music called "academic" as Stravinsky, Debussy, Penderecki and Ginastera to name a few.
[Juaco]: What are the influences of the band? At some point you name to Soft Machine and told me that some kids in the band had never heard. Then, from where all those sounds?
[Gabi]: q I answered a little above, although the 70's rock is something we know enough not just that what might influence us. In rock, King Crimson, Yes, ELP, Camel, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Magma (!!!), Sammler Mamma Manna, Jethro Tull, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Banco Del Mutuo Socors and probably many more that I forget.
Nationally, of course we hear LA Spinetta (Almendra, Invisible, Spinetta Jade (!!!!)), Sui, Seru and The Machine, Cross, Bubu, Coven and otherwise. We also heard lots of jazz, from ancient to the early 20 '30' 40 ', until the time of Bee Bop, Parker, Gillespie or Miles Davis Cool.
In regard to the merger, The Mahavishnu Orchestra takes all applause Links Partners haha. But then are our influences of contemporary music, it would be an endless list of composers who have heard and studied, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luciano Berio, Luigi Nono, Edgar Varese, and many more. With regard to the question of Soft Machine, I heard several of his records, but do not remember if the others did.
A response from where these sounds, it could be our proximity to jazz, and rock.
[Juaco]: You told me you are recording an album, the first (and last?). How is this debut a posthumous album?
[Gabi]: Actually, this is strange, very strange for me, as well as it would sound strange to anyone. Just before having the idea of \u200b\u200brecording, I was with wanted to stop playing, and the truth that we were not rehearsing a lot. Then came the idea of \u200b\u200brecording to give a good finish, and remember what we did during these years. Also one of the reasons why we drifted apart, is that for me, at least personally, I have the idea to get me more squarely in contemporary music, and finish the race ended I'm studying, along with others also studied. The main reason was we were playing together for fun and pleasure, because we like to write and play what we like to compose. I think that's going to be something that we'll never leave, so do not rule out the possibility of playing when.
With respect to the disk, is the second time we recorded, the previous home was average and only for us to hear and see happened. This time, the issues are complete and with the collaboration of many musicians who played string instruments, percussion and winds, with arrangements written by us. The album is in the mixing process, and will soon go to download.
[Juaco]: Listens Argentine progressive bands who are active? You seem original ideas have lying around?
[Gabi]: The truth is that I do not hear much Argentine bands, or bands of nowhere lately. I'm more focused on composition and studying, listening to music or contemporary chamber orchestra. With respect to "Originality" of the bands from here I'm not a good reference to give a verdict, heard things that I liked a bit and many others that I found lacking in spirit, but be aware that I have a preference for the rock of 70, by 80 or 90 that I know less. Say that although I believe is 22 litter of Dead or Focus gratefull that of Radiohead or The Mars Volta. More familiar to me everything that sounds "clean" the batteries or electronic music with much delay.
