Creative processes

"If it is absolutely necessary for art or theater to serve any purpose, it will be to teach people that there are activities that are useless and that it is essential that they exist."

-Eugène Ionesco

  • Olas que no rompen nunca

    Olas que no rompen nunca

    La historia está llena de lugares lejanos que sin querer se encuentran y el arte es el terreno más óptimo que conozco para que esto suceda…

  • Domingos en casa

    Domingos en casa

    Cuando buscamos la energía para hacerla más rápida y llevarla a su visión más cañera, recuerdo comentar con Luis “Feel the Pain” de Dinosaur Jr, donde nuevamente, la temática de la canción resultaba ciertamente poco esperanzadora…

  • El realismo se cura con lo abstracto

    El realismo se cura con lo abstracto

    Mi pintura abstracta creo que funciona un tanto como el yoga o la meditación. Hay que mantener una posición, sacar el movimiento del hombro para lograr una línea recta, ir a la velocidad que te pide la consistencia de la pintura para limitar los errores y corregir conforme vas avanzando…

  • I think I'm beginning to understand love

    I think I'm beginning to understand love

    At the beginning we just made songs without giving it an identity, it was until we recorded the album that it took shape, a more concrete identity, close to spiritual rock and roll, in Spanish, of course...

  • Peemouh's world

    Peemouh's world

    Gloves are always present in most of my illustrations. That's why on this occasion I wanted to give them the leading role. What a cool hand is an illustration of a hand greeting another hand...

  • Purity

    Purity

    I managed to get into a very relaxed creative state, to the point where I no longer cared what I was doing, whether the songs were good or bad, and that's the best position....

  • After the sky comes the calm

    After the sky comes the calm

    I like the analog touch I was able to give it, the grain, the grayscale. Although I love taking pictures with film, that day I decided to do it with digital, I like the melancholic touch that I got in its edition...

  • Natural

    Natural

    I always think of Helmut Newton and Peter Lindbergh and they inspire me to show and magnify the feminine beauty...

  • Embedded inside each other

    Embedded inside each other

    Every time I go back to study his work I observe new things; I am inspired by the movement, the textures in the painting and the way he expresses his ideology....

  • Instant

    Instant

    I don't even write the songs on paper anymore, but it's all like a beautiful smear of words, chords, notes and sounds from which some finished songs emerge and others are waiting there for their moment to materialize....

  • A machine that moves inward

    A machine that moves inward

    To go to the white. From here to here, yes, from here to there, no. Not the stroke but the gesture of tearing a page out of an old atlas, sticking it to the pink wall with blue tape. Woman barely in bloom. A machine moving inward.

  • El Paraíso

    El Paraíso

    When I see the photo it reminds me of my house, my home and the place where I spent all my childhood, so coming back is always like being a child again...

  • Another Defeat

    Another Defeat

    The recording process itself was already strange because of how it happened, in a few sessions of getting together with Jordan we recorded the four songs and the truth is that we spent more time smoking joints than playing the songs...

  • Summer House

    Summer House

    As part of my work, there are ideas and paths explored that often remain only as proposals. It is important, for me, to be able to rescue them since they carry a lot of myself as a creator...

  • Meeting

    Meeting

    As a good autumn lover, what I like most about this photo are the fallen leaves on the car. And how the darkness on the car is complemented by the sunlight in the background....

  • How You're Doing

    How You're Doing

    I understood that you have to work with what you have and what you can at the moment in order to continue generating songs....

  • They create, decide and fragment

    They create, decide and fragment

    I intentionally repeated this painting three times. As if it were a ritual for apparitions, I insisted three times. I close my eyes and her eyes appear, which knew perfectly well how to fragment me...

  • White Postcards (From Abroad)

    White Postcards (From Abroad)

    I had recently finished reading Dean Wareham's autobiography called Postales Negras where he recounts his breakup with his band mates. I think that was the starting point to write the song...

  • Poorly hung clothes

    Poorly hung clothes

    I always work on the demos that I record in my home studio, I don't like to record my parts in professional studios, it's very tiring and the freshness of the moment in which you invent the song disappears...

  • Through the floor

    Through the floor

    Gouache is a super cool medium, it's like a mix between watercolors and acrylics, and I really enjoy messing with the colors and making my paintings look muddy, but in a good way...

  • We no longer skate

    We no longer skate

    I took another picture earlier but I didn't like that the framing was so far away....
