Javier Alvarez - Temazcal [Oscar Alblas]

Javier Alvarez' "Temazcal" for maracas and tape is one of the first, if not the first piece in which acoustic (percussion) instruments and electronics are properly combined. I created this 'act' because I wanted to avoid the traditional, sterile way in which "Temazcal" is often performed, and because I wanted to capture the frantic, elusive, and just plain weird character of the piece not only musically, but also visually. This performance took place on May 27th, 2010 at Theater Zuidplein in Rotterdam (The Netherlands).

Maracas: Oscar Alblas
Performance coaching: René Spierings (www.percossa.nl)
Live sound: Koen Keevel
