Santiago 1:17 iii AGRADECIMIENTOS De antemano pido perdón a todos aquellos que olvide mencionar en esta sección, ya que seguramente no alcanzará para agradecer a todos y cada uno de los que contribuyeron, ya sea en mayor o menor medida, a la realización de este trabajo y a mi carrera. Primeramente, doy gracias a Dios, el Autor de mi vida y de la música que tanto amamos, sin Él nada soy; la inspiración, la fortaleza, los dones, talentos y todo que hizo posible el desarrollo de esta carrera, todo se lo debo a Él, a Su amor por mí, por lo tanto, este trabajo está dedicado a mi Señor. A mis padres Jaime Merchán y Anatilde Ríos, porque no me negaron este camino tan maravilloso de la música, y a pesar de cada circunstancia adversa, trataron de respaldarme en todo cuanto pudieron con amor; gracias a Dios por ellos. A mi hermano David Merchán, por ser el precursor musical y espiritual en mi familia, por ser el primero que desarrolló en mí el afecto por un instrumento, por ser mi primer maestro, mi primera banda, mi primer director musical y el mejor amigo que he tenido. A Richard Sierra, la primera persona que me hizo cogerle cariño a la guitarra, por dedicar de su tiempo para enseñarme esos primeros pasos y por formar en cierta medida el carácter que tengo como músico en la actualidad. A David Castelblanco y a Juan Carlos Castillo, mis maestros de instrumento en el preparatorio y en la carrera respectivamente en la Facultad de Artes ASAB, por impartir de su conocimiento, por expandir las posibilidades del instrumento para mí y por ser condescendientes con mis preferencias musicales en medio de la formación académica. A Ricardo Barrera Tacha, por ser el tutor de este trabajo y por siempre motivarme a ir más allá de lo que tengo en mente, por ser un inspirador y por impartir con enajenación y gozo el tanto conocimiento que ha adquirido. A Camilo Crispoca, por tomar parte de su tiempo y brindar de su conocimiento para contribuir al desarrollo de este trabajo, como muestra de su amistad incondicional. A Camilo Ortegón, por también brindar de su tiempo y aprender las piezas que están presentes en este trabajo, ya que soy consciente de lo difícil de su interpretación, y también por ser un colega con gran nivel que me ha permitido abordar los aspectos musicales que siempre quise desarrollar. iv RESUMEN Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar qué aportes interpretativos y musicales puede obtener un guitarrista o un músico en general al abordar piezas de la agrupación Animals as Leaders. En el caso de este trabajo, se demostrarán primeramente por medio del contexto de la agrupación (género musical en el que se desenvuelve, características generales, etc.) y del guitarrista de la banda más específicamente (que tipo de instrumento usa, equipos, técnicas en el instrumento), y posteriormente a través del análisis de dos piezas de la agrupación, “CAFO” y “The Woven Web”, en el cual se demostrarán aspectos musicales importantes que se evidencien a lo largo de las piezas, y aspectos técnicos en cuanto a la interpretación de la guitarra eléctrica. Palabras clave: Técnicas, aporte interpretativo, desplazamiento, polirritmia y polimetría, equipos, djent. ABSTRACT This work aims to show what musical and playing contributions a guitarist or a musician in general can obtain when dealing with musical pieces from the group Animals as Leaders. In the case of this work, this fact will be proved by showing in first place the context of the band (musical genre in which it develops, general characteristics, etc.) and the band’s guitarist specifically (kind of instrument, gear, techniques), and later by the analysis of the two songs of the band, “CAFO” and “The Woven Web”, in which it will show important musical aspects that are evident along the pieces, and aspects of technique about guitar playing. Keywords: Technique, playing contributions, displacement, polyrhythm, polymeters, gear, djent. v TABLA DE CONTENIDO INTRODUCCIÓN .................................................................................................................................. vii CAPÍTULO I: Contexto .......................................................................................................................... 1 1.

Partiendo de esto dicho interés no ha cesado en cuanto a este material concierne, siguiendo por el icónico grupo Dream Theater el cual ha inspirado una enorme cantidad de expresiones modernas de este estilo, las cuáles han derivado en la aparición de la corriente del djent, cuyos representantes son artistas como Gru, Plini, Sithu Aye y bandas como Periphery, Intervals, Polyphia, Animals as Leaders (la cual es la razón principal de éste proyecto), entre otros; grupos con un carácter determinado pero a la vez tan polifacético que hace del estilo un campo dinámico, libre y extenso que, a pesar de ser característico, da vía de libre acceso a recursos que lo pueden enriquecer cada vez más. Basado en esto, puedo decir que no he escuchado a cada uno de los representantes de la corriente djent, pero sí a los que son de mi particular interés con detenimiento, tomando los aspectos que he considerado más relevantes de cada obra y usándolos para enriquecer mi concepción musical, factor que ha contribuido a mi lenguaje personal respecto a la interpretación de la guitarra eléctrica. En consecuencia, mi repertorio a lo largo de mi carrera, si bien ha estado influenciado por el jazz, por parte de lo que la academia dicta, la corriente del rock y metal progresivo ha estado presente en él, tanto dentro como fuera de la academia, hecho representado en los temas que estudio (incluso que he compuesto), los cuales están

Religious studies . Psychology . “A term used since the early 1970s to designate a subgenre of hard rock music…. During the 1960s, British hard rock bands and the American guitarist Jimi Hendrix developed a more distorted guitar sound and heavier drums and bass that led to a separation of heavy metal from other blues-based rock. Albums by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple in 1970 codified the new genre, which was marked by distorted guitar ‘power chords’, heavy riffs, wailing vocals and virtuosic solos by guitarists and drummers. During the 1970s performers such as AC/DC, Judas Priest, Kiss and Alice Cooper toured incessantly with elaborate stage shows, building a fan base for an internationally-successful style.” (Grove Music Online, “Heavy metal”) . “Heavy metal fans became known as ‘headbangers’ on account of the vigorous nodding motions that sometimes mark their appreciation of the music.” (Grove Music Online, “Heavy metal”) .

  • Metal Madness: Heavy Music Coming to Your Town
    Metal Madness: Heavy Music Coming to Your Town Welcome to Metal Madness my fellow Metalheads, covering all things metal, metalcore, deathcore and hardcore in the Providence area. I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who was at the Kingsmen show on October 8 (motifri.com/kingsmen). As someone who has been playing music for a long time, I wanted to speak to the growing argument that heavy music is dead. For a show on a Sunday with no major label band headlining, the turnout was great. The credit goes directly to the bands that played that night; Absence of Despair, Your Chance to Die and Kingsmen. Everyone who was there were there for the music, and all of it was heavy music. You could see the camaraderie between the bands and fans, and how welcoming they were to the one out-of-town band, Your Chance to Die. Absent were the attitudes “I’m going to see my friend’s band and leave.” There were no crossed arms and ugly faces, but a respect for all the musicians who were there (and if you ever get the chance to see two Norwegian women front a deathcore band, do not pass it up!). The music wasn’t dead or dying; if anything, it’s thriving. The more Providence bands do well, the better it is for our scene, the bands and heavy music. Now that I’m off my soapbox, on to what’s happening. Night of the Dead, Oct 21, 8pm, Fete Music Hall If you want to take a quick trip back to the early 2000s, Dope, Hed p.e.

  • Jon Theodore
    12 Modern Drummer June 2014 Booth #1219 Always on the go, Daru Jones desired a highly portable cymbal set for hip-hop sessions, DJ Jams, and other sit-ins that spontaneously present themselves, enabling him to preserve his personal sound in modern urban mobility. The concept was developed in the PST X series, which provides a suitable basis for the type of fast and dry sounds that perfectly fit the world of Hip-hop & Electronica percussion. It is executed with the DJs 45 set consisting of a 12" Crash, 12" Ride and 12" Hats.
