about

This album was slowly recorded between January and December of 2018, in after midnight sessions.

As usual, all songs are based on shameful samples extracted from shameless vinyls. Do not ask, do not tell!

It took me a lot of time to understand what to do and how to do it. Even more, this record has been several times close to be deleted. We all know that we hate as much we love what we do.

For me, everything is about the mood or the drama, the dramatic image that a piece of music might be able to project on the listener.

"Midnight miniatures" is a dreamy, trippy, lofi post-ambient album, floating in an otherworldly atmosphere; I am not talking about another galaxy or things like that. I think more of a parallel space and time.

All my albums are based on vinyl sampling techniques.
Sampling is the act of taking a portion of a pre-existing piece of music in order to reuse it to create some different or “new” pieces.

In other words, the so-called Artist feeds from other Artist’s creations. Here we have the concept of Parasitism, in which sampling cannot survive without other musician’s blood/bloody music.

Somehow, the connection between an artist and the art tradition or art history is also a matter of Parasitism or a Parasitism affair, because musicians, painters, etc. are always “taking” ideas, resources, and materials from the past.

The Parasite project would not be able to survive without other people´s music.
And certainly, an artist would not be able to survive without the art tradition.

By the way…the name Mi Cosa de Resistance comes from one of “The Simpsons” episodes, in which Homer becomes an avant-garde artist. At the opening night of his exhibition he says something like “and here My thing De Resistance”, which I always found utterly funny.

Hope you enjoy it!
