***Hago lo que no puedo evitar hacer. Miro al cielo y veo pájaros y estelas de algo que ya pasó y está aún por venir. La magia. Miro tus ojos y veo lo mismo. No me siento de ningún lugar, quizá de todas partes. Uno va probando, pues todo cambia. No busco la perfección en absoluto, sino la frescura y la captura del momento en que la voz y los textos se encuentran con la música. El Cantante Mudo aprende a cruzar los pasos de cebra sin ser cebra y lo que sabe del vino sólo lo entiende cuando bebe... 'Vivir es equivocarse/ salir mal en la foto' (F Pino)// Libros: "El Lejano Oeste", "Eclipse", "La Ronda", "Nómadas" o "El Cantante Mudo"- Premio de la crítica de poesía, entre otros, he escrito letras para otros artistas. En 1996 empiezo una aventura de spoken word y canciones, grabo los discos "La Mejor Hora" -1999- Garcin y Troupe; el disco-libro "Vash Gon" -2000, cubic- con Carlos Carrasco; el disco "Tan fiero tan frágil" -2003- con M; y la antología "Tiempo y Detalles" -Comboi Records, 2007- con 8 temas nuevos grabados en 2005 y 2006 como "A Woman", "Time and Details", "Haz caso solo a los Paréntesis", "The Second Rain", y 10 temas de años y discos anteriores.

***ENGLISH: I look at the sky and I can see the birds and the jetstream of something that has passed away and is coming back soon. The magic. I look at your eyes and I can see the same thing. I'm the mutesinger, a fan for the winter, a raindrop for your umbrella. I'm not looking for any kind of perfection at all, but that moment when music, words and music fly together... ***I began writing poetry and prose. I've had several books published like "Eclipse", "El Lejano Oeste", "Nomadas" or "El Cantante
Mudo" -awarded by book circle Critics Award-, and I have written lyrics for other artists over the years. In 1996 I began to work with musicians -la troupe- showing my songwritings in public. My recorded and released records are: "La Mejor Hora" -Seminola records, 1999-; "Vash Gon" -cdbook, Cubic, 2000-; "Tan fiero tan fragil" -Arteria 2003- and the anthology "Tiempo y Detalles. 1996-2006" -Comboi records, 2007- that includes 8 new songs recorded between 2005 and 2006, "A Woman", "Time and Details", "Haz caso solo a los Parentesis", "The Second Rain"...

I think i was a little bit younger when I got to Nietzsche, around 14. I am just not positive it is good to be awakened at such an early age...what am I saying? Of course it is. Wow that's brilliant, the way you put my harmonica playing. I always knew deep down I was a Cronopio. Ah I hope you have fun with your photos and videos. No worries, cold days make for interesting shots.
I appreciate you most deeply for taking the time to view my photographs. Also for the way that you described them. Nietzsche? What an honor. Yeah I'm reading The Portrait of Dorian Gray again and I realized that I missed a lot of important essential points of the story so I am glad to read it. Then I'm going to read the Biography of Oscar Wilde. I still have a ways to go though. I lent my 13 year old brother my Niezsche books and I don't know if this was good or not! hah! Hopefully. Anyway I'm really proud of myself because my harmonica classes are going well and I learned how to "bend" a note. I bet the neighbor hates me now though. ;) Yes, pamphlets or zenes, perhaps on tapas....
Querido fer, en vuelo fugaz por aqui hacía mucho que no entraba, un abrazo lleno de ternura con aire de Escorpio y sabiéndote , tan bello volver a respirar aquí en el silencio Sigo encendiendo cerillas húmedas a un costado del tren y siempre próxma.. la tentación de un carrusel
I'm so flattered that you take the time to see my photographs. I just added a few last night I think you might fight interesting. I try to add as often as I can. So I started teaching myself how to play my harmonica that I received as a gift by a friend in England. He bought me M. Hohner and I should at least give it a go. So far I've actually learned hot to "bend" notes and a few small melodies that I'm practicing with. I'm not very musical, but I love music with a burning passion. I'm glad you got a gig! February is special because it is my birthday. :D That's a great website you showed me. I keep reading excerpts and books on Spain and I imagine myself there while I'm outside in the wind. But right now I"m reading Oscar Wilde's Major Works, which I recommend. Take good care!
You found my flickr! great. I'm glad you like the photos. Good choice in music, too. Do they give you pamphlets with poetry? And how are the tapas? I need to find a good spanish restaurant but there are none around here, unfortunately. We're still waiting for tapas to get big here, which eventually they will. You'll see. Have a good week's ending!
"My teaching may be compared to the building of a mountain. If a man stops before the last load is placed, I stop. It may be compared to leveling land. Even though a man but deposit one load, there is progress. I go to him."
Hi Fernando .... Cartagena, in Spain or in Colombia ? everything is OK by our side.... some good news for our music coming soon... hope you are fine.... autumn is my season.... looking foward to hear from you very soon Kari, love
A festival of poetry and music? It sounds like a fairytale. Like a dream I'm missing out on! I'm glad you're having a good time. I have added a few photos to my flickr, but I'm mostly proud of the horse. Check them out if you get the chance. The light is brilliant though, almost too brilliant. Have you read anything new? Have a good night!
How have you been? I liked those web pages you sent me. Also, your friend added me in return and I very much like this photographs. I added a few photos to my webpage, not sure about the autumn light. I"m still trying to capture it. LIke a child captures a firefly. It's been terribly hot here, it is a bit disappointing because it is November. Today was the coolest day though, 65 degrees. It should be nice this week though. I hope you're having a good time with good people.
HI Fernando ..thanks for the words and the picture..great! I been working on my own record these days hope to have it out by the spring...will send you some music before for your ears..hope you are well my friend..peace!
New songs are always great. I like being busy but not too busy that I can't sit down and sip some tea with a lovely book. That's my definition of home. I'm actually going to meet a client who wants to do an autumnal themed photo shoot, and I'm really anxious and excited about it. Also, good to hear your leg is much better. My knee is always sore and creaky from running and falling too often in the snow of Colorado. Anyway, I added your friend, I love the photographs, they are very interesting and vibrant. Have you seen "Spain: On the road again"? It's a show with chef Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow, and they go everywhere in Spain and learn about the cuisine, history, art, and architecture. It's quite good, I think. Thought you might enjoy this- “Body cells replace themselves every month. Even at this very moment. Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.” — Haruki Murakami
Hey, how have you been? My days are fine, just busy with small things here and there but nothing I couldn't try to handle...I grow weary at time but it comes and goes. I'm booking photo jobs for autumn, and I'm hoping to get more because the light is so intense and incredible, it makes me want to tear up inside. Murakami is really addictive, I have to agree. I read three of his books in a row. I can't get enough. It sounds great, you know, that you're going to the south of spain. It actually sounds incredible. Anyway I checked out his flickr and I really like it. Do you think I should be his contact on there? I'd like to see what else he adds to it. Thanks, I hope you have a great weekend as well as a nice autumn full of seasonal foods and drinks, which are my favorite.
Qué alegría Fernando tener noticias tuyas! me alegra que la ausencia sea sólo debida al trabajo, eso es una buena señal en los tiempos que corren.
A mi me ocurre un poco lo mismo, un cambio de localización de mi lugar de trabajo me deja mucho menos tiempo del que me gustaría.
Sólo espero que todo te vaya estupendamente y que continues escribiendo esas maravillas que escribes para que podamos seguir regalándonos, los que tanto apreciamos tu trabajo,
