Several pieces made for ad, for friends or just for fun that I couldn’t put into any proper edition but that they still have some room inside my heart.
PAJARO DEL VIENTO – El Origen
This is the rock band I started in Patagonia along with my old friend Juan Pablo Aguilera (a local music hero), Benjamin Valenzuela (another local hero) and Matias Perez from Santiago (outlander as I am, not for that less heroic). This piece is unissued since we haven’t had the chance to make any recording or concert (because the 2020), but we hope to be soon playing and showing what we have done, because is truly beautiful.
Cumbia Peregrina, Lawenko (Basel)
Collaboration with some chilean musicians I met playing in Switzerland during summer 2017. We recorded this video in Basel for them to promote the band. The song is original from them.
Casa Michoacán de los Guindos, december 2017
Small concert we gave with Jasmin Dominick (clarinet) and Nicolás Chacón (guitar) at the the book release event of my brother Diego Rodríguez, “El Descaro”. Between poetry, readings, comments and wine we had the opportunity to play 6 songs from my albums and a piano arrangement of the song “Caramba”, from Otilio Galíndez. This Youtube video is a playlist including the 6 tracks.
NONSENSE, Nov 2015, Valparaíso
Short recording of the sound experience “NONSENSE”, played by the cultural group Meconio, in Valparaiso, on 2015. Electronic soundscapes and outstanding visuals took our audience into a psychedelic journey across Jupiter’s moons.
WAITING FOR YOU – [Benjamin Rod, Lucas Acuña, Nicolas Chacon] – CasaSol, August 2014
Folky song I wrote when living in Valparaíso. This version was recorded in a memorable night at CasaSol with Nicolás Chacón Rod y Lucas Acuña Joui.
GET INTO YOUR HEART – [Benjamin Rod]
Another tribute to the musical tradition of United States mixed with hipster elements. It was used to sync a sausages TV spot during 2014. It became famous on TV but I didn’t get too proud of this mainly because I’m vegetarian (That’s why I’m avoiding to put it in the Ad page). I was more proud of my hipster beard
Waiting for you – [Benjamin Rod]
This one was used for a Pisco spot on TV (Pisco is a traditional boozy beverage from Peru). They took only a small part of the entire song, so I put here the full version.
Décimas al Reencuentro – Espora, March 2013
An old song that we recorded with my friends J.P.Aguilera and Andres Hernandez and that was also composed that same day of the recording. I took the song later for my album “Las Tardes Eternas…” but this first version is the original, and was also very significant for us, as it was our first reunion after lot of time.
