  • Special Huaca Packaging, 7 Compact Disc + 2 DVD + Booklet

    RESOUNDING HUACA is Manongo Mujica’s ambitious sound project to bring together a seven CD and two DVD production, in a unique packaging in the shape of a Huaca made out of fine wood. Part of what Mujica has produced in the last twenty years exploring sounds to invoke that ancestral and avantgarde is compiled here. Free improvisation, ritualism and exploration of jazz fusion.

    RESOUNDING HUACA

    Note to deepen its significance.

    Huaca means sacred thing. A Huaca is an object, a phenomenon, a place or being in which the force of that which is sacred has concentrated.

    From his origins, man perceived whatever sacred in the landscape. Nothing is more evident in relationship with primitive religiousness than the cult to nature.

    Relevant places were the target. Caves, oasis, dunes, mountain tops, islands, woods and forests, deserts, stones, swamps, mountains exacerbated the emotionality of individuals.

    Terror, exaltation, lyricism, desolation, lucidity, mystery are sensations that were reflected on the landscape.

    (text by Brignardello)

    Divinity reveals it is free to adopt any form. That whichever sacred is qualitatively different from profane but it can manifest itself in any form and in any location within the profane world.

    (text by Eliade)

    HUACA SONORA

    Notas para profundizar el significado de esta

    Huaca quiere decir cosa sagrada. La huaca es un objeto, fenómeno , lugar o ser En la cual se han concentrado las fuerzas de lo sagrado.
    Desde su origen, el hombre percibió lo sagrado en el paisaje. Nada resulta mas evidente respecto de la religiosidad primitiva que el culto a la naturaleza.
    Su objetivo en lugares relevantes. Cuevas, oasis, dunas, cimas, islas, bosques, desiertos, piedras, pantanos, montañas, exacerbaron la emotividad del individuo.
    Terror, exaltación, lirismo, desolación, lucidez, misterio, son sensaciones que se reflejaron en el paisaje.
    (texto de Brignardello)

    La divinidad revela que esta libre de adoptar cualquier forma. Lo sagrado es cualitativamente distinto de lo profano pero puede manifestarse en cualquier forma y en cualquier sitio dentro del mundo profano.
    (texto de Eliade)

about

AEOLIAN

Mariano Zuzunaga, Peruvian photographer living in Barcelona for the last 30 years is also a pianist who explores contemporary music from the standing point of improvisation with free and open structures. This record is the result of a long collaboration with percussionist Manongo Mujica who has been working with him for many years.

All of the pieces emerge from the musical interaction between both players.

There was no rehearsal previous to these recordings. Both musicians bet on NOW and HERE, trusting in the natural process of creation.

Colors, textures and atmospheres come into place organically in accordance with the feeling of each piece.

Sometimes it is Zuzunaga who initiates the proposal and Mujica counterparts the former’s initiative.

The reversed process by which Mujica suggests rhythms or unknown spaces also takes place and Zuzunaga finds the corresponding melodies. Maybe the name of the record is due to a sensation of freedom and expansion that only the wind gives us, thus the name AEOLIAN.

Mariano Zuzunaga, fotógrafo peruano radicado en Barcelona hace mas de 30 años es además un pianista que explora la música contemporánea desde la improvisación con estructuras libres y abiertas. Este disco es el resultado de una larga colaboración con el percusionista Manongo Mujica quien ha venido trabajando con el durante muchos años.
Todos los temas surgen de la interacción musical entre ambos instrumentistas.
No hubo ningún ensayo previo a estas grabaciones. Ambos músicos apostaron por el AQUÍ y el AHORA, confiando en el proceso natural de la creación.
Los colores, las texturas, las atmosferas se van dando de una manera orgánica de acuerdo a la sensación de cada tema.
A veces es Zuzunaga quien inicia la propuesta y Mujica complementa su iniciativa.
También se da el proceso al revés en donde Mujica sugiere ritmos o espacios desconocidos y Zuzunaga encuentra las melodías que corresponde. Quizá el nombre del disco obedece a una sensación de libertad y expansión que solo el viento nos da, de allí el nombre de AEOLICO.
