“Cháchara” es un proyecto que busca encontrar la música escondida dentro de los sonidos cotidianos de la Ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Tomamos como inspiración una gran variedad de músicos y sus procesos de composición. Por un lado la obra Different Trains de Steve Reich, en la cual grabó unas entrevistas con sobrevivientes del holocausto en una estación de tren. Con esas entrevistas hizo loops de cinta magnética que se repetían una y otra vez creando un efecto psicoacústico en el cual la repetición de sonidos “no musicales” crean la ilusión de melodías. Este efecto psicoacústico también fue explorado por compositores como Pierre Schaeffer y Iannis Xenakis durante el movimiento de la música concreta de los años 40’s Por otro lado, tomamos inspiración de la cultura del hip hop y el “sampling” una técnica de composición donde se corta y se alteran partes de canciones existentes para crear música completamente nueva. Una forma de Collage sonoro. Esta técnica sigue siendo una parte fundamental de la producción musical moderna. Esta primera pieza se basa en los sonidos de las máquinas del barrio San Nicolas, un barrio conocido por ser el centro de impresiones, litografías y troqueladoras de la ciudad. Tambien contiene unas frases de uno de los trabajadores de "Litopasaje" uno de los muchos centros de impresión del barrio. .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. "Cháchara" is a project that aims to uncover the hidden music within the everyday sounds of the city of Cali, Colombia. We drew inspiration from a variety of musicians and their composition processes. On one hand, we were inspired by Steve Reich's work, "Different Trains," in which he recorded interviews with Holocaust survivors at a train station. He then created tape loops from these interviews, repeating them to create a psychoacoustic effect in which the repetition of "non-musical" sounds gives the illusion of melodies. This psychoacoustic effect was also explored by composers like Pierre Schaeffer and Iannis Xenakis during the concrete music movement of the 1940s. On the other hand, we take inspiration from hip-hop culture and the technique of "sampling," which involves cutting and altering parts of existing songs to create entirely new music, a form of sonic collage. This technique remains a fundamental part of modern music production. Our first piece "Máquinas" is based on the sounds of the machines in the San Nicolas neighborhood, a place well-known for its printing, lithography, and die-cutting businesses in the city. It also contains phrases from one of the workers at "Litopasaje" one of the many printing centers in the neighborhood.
