SATURNALIA es un disco anti-navidad
que busca invitar al escucha a resignificar las celebraciones, alejándonos más de las fiestas coloniales, y acercándonos quizá a otro tipos de rituales de solsticio de invierno.
Saturnalia fue una celebración romana antigua, durante el año 200 A.C. dedicada al dios Saturno, donde se practicaban banquetes públicos y en alguna regiones orgías y distintas actividades que quebraban las normas sociales convencionales.
Estas fechas en Diciembre siempre han tenido un espíritu de cerrar ciclos y acercarse a distintos círculos a celebrar la existencia.
Lo que busco con esta música es re imaginar estos rituales, comenzando con una pieza enfocada en un diseño sonoro, seguida de una pieza intensa y bailable, para entregarse al éxtasis y destruir los sentidos.
Finalizando el EP con una re-composición de una de las mejores piezas de la humanidad, compuesta por Ryuichi Sakamoto.

SATURNALIA is an anti-Christmas album
that seeks to invite the listener to give new meaning to the celebrations, moving us further away from the colonial festivities, and perhaps bringing us closer to other types of winter solstice rituals.
Saturnalia was an ancient Roman celebration, during the year 200 B.C. dedicated to the god Saturn, where public banquets were practiced and in some regions orgies and different activities that broke conventional social norms.
These dates in December have always had a spirit of closing cycles and approaching different circles to celebrate existence.
What I am looking for with this music is to reimagine these rituals, beginning with a piece focused on sound design, followed by an intense and danceable piece, to surrender to ecstasy and destroy the senses.
Ending the EP with a re-composition of one of the best pieces of humanity, composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto.
