About Me

I'm Mario. There is a lot to me. I find myself to be a very complex person who is constantly contradicting myself in my pursuit of understanding myself. I am a musician, I play guitar and write music. I have been playing guitar for 5 years now. For me it's not just fast runs and screeching sounds, Guitar playing is all about original style, a glimpse into that person's emotions and the way they express them. I play music only to benefit the listener the way I feel when I hear my favorite song. I love to entertain in every way possible and will do so fullheartedly for the people who truely love and respect what I do. I am currently just a "boy and his guitar" playing on at little clubs, hotels or restaurants with the notion that someone will enjoy my performance and walk away feeling any stronger emotion than when they arrived. =============================================== LIFE IS ALL ABOUT EXPRESSION, MUSIC IS MY LIFE THEREFORE MUSIC IS MY EXPRESSION.'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Always E-MU interfaces, sennheiser microphones, and dimarzio cables. Monitors are chosen by the studio. Always native-instruments and frootyloops XXL as recording programs.Now to my amps. for acoustic I use AER tube amps and for electric Mesa-Boogie F50, RECTIFIER double, randall V2 head and Fender Tweed. Now to my guitars . I use a 54 years old handmade acoustic guitar from worldwideknown jose aquilante, as electric a fernades revolver elite, Ibanez RG2570 VSL AND A PARADIS GUITAR. Lets learn a bit more the paradis guitar. Its a handmade solidbody guitar with nylon strings. THE HIDDEN TECHNOLOGY.Its a hexaphonic guitar. That means that each string is treated individually. WHY????????? =Normal Pickups are transducers attached to a guitar that detect (or "pick up") string vibrations and convert the mechanical energy of the string into electrical energy. The resultant electrical signal can then be electronically amplified. The most common type of pickup is electromagnetic in design. These contain magnets that are tightly wrapped in a coil, or coils, of copper wire. Such pickups are usually placed right underneath the guitar strings. Electromagnetic pickups work on the same principles and in a similar manner to an electrical generator. The vibration of the strings causes a small voltage to be created in the coils surrounding the magnets, this signal voltage is later amplified.But this pickups have a common problem. Their volume is equaly shared for each string but this pickups have a very small frequency range. =So i chose piezo pickups. Piezoelectric, or piezo, pickups represent another class of pickup. These employ piezoelectricity to generate the musical signal and are popular in hybrid electro-acoustic guitars. A crystal is located under each string, usually in the saddle. When the string vibrates, the shape of the crystal is distorted, and the stresses associated with this change produce tiny voltages across the crystal that can be amplified and manipulated. But also this pickus have an inconvinience. For some reason the G and A string are way to loud. So my idea was treat each string individually by using a hexaphonic system."Hex" is a prefix meaning six. In a hexaphonic pickup separate outputs are obtained from discrete piezoelectric pickups for each of the six strings. This arrangement allows the signal of the string variety of different sounds.But how do yu "treat" them. Untill now we have been talking about the signal capturing.Well, paradis guitars built an amplifier for this issue. The amp it self doesnt exist, insead each string has its own amplifier with a 7-band equalizer for each of the 6 channels/amps so The unit has over 70 knobs buttons and faders.THANKS FOR READING ALL THIS TECHNICAL BULLSHIT.

Band Members: MARIO : guitar, fretless bass, russian balalaika, guitar synthesizer (GR-20gk, VGM-88) sondengineer,----------------------------------------MY GEAR: my studio has over 420 guitars annd 6 diferent amps BUT I HAD NO USE FOR THEM. I used a paradis guitar especially made for me in 2007 with hexaphonic piezo wiring. I record every thing with a AER acoustic tube amplifier with dual sound method. I mic the boxes with a sennhiser mic and also plug in the amp rear panel into an interface AND THEN into the mixertable, so i can i distort this part of the plug in to get the equalizer more effective.SO, NO SECRETS.

Influences: THEY ARE: (VIVALDI), BACH!!!, AI3EL, CHARLIE BYRD, SORAYA WEBBER, PACO DE LUCIA, BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB, (HANS ZIMMER), ALL PEOPLE WHO LIKED MY SHOW OFFS AT SCHOOL I want the listener to be surprised with different colours but YET NOT defined. I want the listener to decide them with giving her/him a tip of the colour family (for example). I love the forest. Its big, you get a very bright choice of trees, plants and whatever you get there anyway. All this is very unorganized while throwing a first look at it. BUT at the end it still -in very strange way- looks good and you couldn’t imagine it otherwise. And for my opinion so far, you never can explore something entirely. THIS IS THE WAY HOW I DISCRIBE MY MUSIC, MYSTERIOUS, CHANGING COLOURS AND AMBIENCES BUT ALWAYS WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF NAIVE ROMANCE AND BEAUTY……………………………………………… ………………………….Its never too late to make good arts. Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic. hehe
