SLECCION BEST OF 2008 IN EA
Edition: Nicolas Romo D-
The FRACTAL music is characterized by using instruments from different cultures and ethnicities of the world, with a strong rhythmic base with the use of African percussion, Hindus, Turks, Maya and Mapuche and wind instruments as diverse as the backgrounds Suling Gambuh of Indonesia, the Duduk of Armenia, the Turkish Ney, the Peruvian Pincu or Quena and Quenacho Altiplánico.
The ethnic fusion band (or World Music) FRACTAL is created in 1998 by Igor Ledermann (vocals, keyboards) and José Francisco Zamorano (guitars and drums) with the intent to represent, through music, American myths of world creation and feelings about death, put music to poems by African funeral. We talked with Igor
Lederman, founder and vocalist, to tell him to EA on this release:
How did the idea of \u200b\u200ba Fractal Symphonic? - The mixture is suggestive name and -
Fractal Symphonic born from the idea of \u200b\u200bcombining instruments that are "classic" in some cultures of the world, with the traditional orchestra as we know it all "
" We based our project on concepts, and particularly based on the cycles and poles: East-West life-death , time past and to come , and a universe of sonic influences from different sides of the world. "
" Then Fractal Symphonic this aims to bring together in one show these two seemingly very different worlds, but here we try to make them converge as a function of the music. "
One theme, called" amok fish ravioli, of where this name comes
"Ja, it is simply the name of a dish of southeast Asia, some members of the group have had the opportunity to try on a trip out there."
"Regarding the song This is born into a collective improvisation between Pancho (violin), Randall (duduk and whistle) and I spend playing me what I found out there, but basically my contribution was to give structure to such improvisation. "
How do they finance their various meetings, which have support from private businesses or the government?
" Well, state assistance has been important in the development of our projects. "
"Three of our records have been financed Fondart and then the music background. Since private enterprise have also been important contributions, but no doubt all be born happened to your own drive. "
" For example, this time for this launch, we no longer have the support of the Music Fund in monetary terms because the money already spent on producing the DVD, but just going to take the risk of making a great launch with the orchestra in East drama. "" For that, we obviously need the help of all people, to attend that day, Nov. 17 at Theatre East at 21:00 Hrs. "
" And if that fails, well, there I need the help of private parties to bring me sugar and cigars to jail, because I put them ...." chueques
What is your musical projection? What to expect from the music.
"music? ..... Mmmm, I think that we should not expect anything of it if not backwards. "
That I can make myself from my own perspective, and from my ability as a maker of music (I do not like the word artist). "
" There are people who do not engage with what you do and others do. If you ask me I hope the music, and had to say something, I would say that the to retain even for a moment that blessing is to know that since your work has been comuinicarte with someone else, somehow mobilize. "
present ministry and the management of Paulina Urrutia, "four is your opinion on this?
rather answer a question that can be used to identify all the group, as though the other views that you can take are personal, if that somehow way to represent everyone.
On the other hand, I've been so absorbed by the work of making this record that I have disconnected a little of the world, and the progress or setbacks in the cultural area. No time is what he has done or left undone, so I'm not the most suitable to give a good response.
only thing I remember I did not like too much, is when they said it was the wisest of culture in this country. . It would be irresponsible of me to say exactly what he said, but that is my memory. "Culture" is the "crop" cultivation of the soul.
"Personally I think they should start doing that from the humility."
How about this statement:
I had the opportunity to see the musical evolution of you from the beginning, and I think we have chosen, rather than in producing new material for the reading of his creations .
Mmmmm ..... I find interesting .....
"Seriously, I think there is a time for everything, and now gave it to build naturally to revisit our previous songs but with a different look."
"In this respect, the work of Jose Luis Dominguez (Small review at the end of Article) is a real gem.
" So is as it should always sound. Did not alter the essence of the songs, but the greatly enhanced. "
" It will come the time to make another disc. In fact, we are beginning a new stage of development enhanced by having new members. "
do you think of this other affirmation
" Thinking about your next steps, it would be natural that in a bid to both musical and audiovisual , ie a fusion concept, something from Pink Floyd but its thematic. Two creations in themselves - the visual and musical - but in perfect complement "
" I think that Pink Floyd will always remember the music. Do not know if we too, or we'll forget precisely the same, but I think that while the audiovisual is an important contribution to the show, in essence we are a band that uses an audiovisual medium in favor of what we communicate. "" However, this may change tomorrow and we dedicate ourselves to making movies, or we installed with the "Amok Fish Ravioli Restaurant", but while that's what I feel .
Jose Luis Dominguez
José Luis is characterized by its versatility: it is able to conduct concerts, ballets and operas or changing a theater for a set. Resident director of the Philharmonic Orchestra, directed the recording of music from the movie Escape, Pablo Larraín, and advised Benjamín Vicuña in their role as bandleader throughout the filming.

With support from the Municipal Theatre was Maurizio Benini prominent directors like Frank or Maxine Beerman Valdes to work with youth. And the students are at the height of these eminences, personally took charge of preparing the code and test them. We have already seen results. "It's allowed to make presentations memorable as the Mozart Requiem in 2003 and Beethoven's Ninth in 2004, which reached a high level.
