CURRENT COLLABORATIONS:
Ernesto Diaz-Infante (12-String bajo sexto) & Jeff Arnal (percussion)
The Neshama Alma Band
The Neshama Alma Band is a San Francisco-based collaboration of composer Ernesto Diaz-Infante and video-artist Marjorie Sturm. Their latest work, "The Sun Heals Life," is an experiential performance that provokes private reflection in a public space around retribution, forgiveness, and war. On a bajo sexto guitar, Diaz-Infante performs trance, mantra-strumming inspired by Native American and other rhythms. The minimalist video accompaniment focuses the mind to the hypnotic soundscape, breeding a personal and collective visualization to the current dilemmas. This performance is best absorbed by a ruminative participant who will engage with the Band of spirits who are being conjured for guidance.

"Ernesto Diaz-Infante's steelstring guitar pushes and shoves itself into a trance, like a spaced-out raga-master..." --Tokafi
"a composer and performer with an instinctive way of creating 'sound paintings" that stress mood and feelings. his atonal adventures here sometimes recall the work of British free guitar icon Derek Bailey." --Josef Woodard, LA Times
ERNESTO DIAZ-INFANTE received his MFA in Music Composition from California Institute of the Arts and has created musical compositions that span a broad perspective: transcendental piano, noise, avant-garde guitar, field recordings, lo-fi four-track manipulations, and experimental song. ED-I has performed throughout Europe and the United States, and his music has been broadcasted internationally. He has recorded more than 15 CDs of music and collaborated with numerous musicans. ED-I runs Pax Recordings with the filmmaker/video artist Marjorie Sturm. He lives in San Francisco.

ERNESTO DIAZ-INFANTE & CHRIS FORSYTH: (as is stated...before known)
From their 2004 CD release, a kaleidoscopic range of post-Bailey approaches, quiet Fahey-esque folk-influenced fingerpicking. "I highly recommend this disc for a taste of some other aspects of what guitars can do." --Steve Koenig, Jump Arts Journal.
