End of Year

 Hello everyone,

The year is about to end and I wanted to make a kind of balance, but in reality there is nothing that is mostly not known. It was not my intention to talk about politics, but since it has determined our decisions throughout this year, I am going to try to be as synthetic as possible.

My country was in quite bad shape, thanks to the former Minister of Economy, the previous administration was able to reach the elections on time, at great cost. We pay part of that cost by having to redouble our efforts. However, now we are facing worse times if we do not react as a whole to the arbitrariness proposed by the new government. 

This situation forced many of us who passionately dedicate ourselves to developing any artistic task to prioritize the fight for sustenance since the basis of our personal economies was grossly undermined.

For that reason I have only published two albums this year instead of having been more fertile as in previous years. Thank God my collaborators have proven to have an understanding and patience beyond what would have been normal or logical, and I owe them a debt of gratitude and trust. 

I only hope that the times to come will be a little more benign or at least fair with the effort that one puts into the creative side of the being.
I wish us all a better year in 2024, there are new things in development, hopefully I can show them soon.

I leave you below the last album published, perhaps the one that has cost me the most to produce in a long time.
Greetings,
Puppy B.

February 2023

 Hi Everyone,

Again time passes, and thankfully we survived the global changes we faced last months. Health is not replaceable, and unfortunately some friends from the old days have passed away in this time that passed.
Lately I have been going to a friend's country house, which has helped me to get out of the city, which I can bear less every day.

I am very little by little producing something new, more based on guitars, with the addition of some unpublished material, without rush, letting the muse do her thing 🙂

Here is summer, and the heat is quite unbearable, I always wait for the sun to go down to turn everything on, I don't want to force the equipment.
Among my things I have the more or less recent addition of a Yamaha YG77 synthesizer in module format, which I trigger with a midi keyboard, courtesy of our friend Daniel Fumega, who also plays on my latest album, in which 3 other very talented european musicians also participate: Wilfried Hanrath, Marco Lucchi, and Astrofaros.  
They all really made the album, the whole idea was to establish a common ground and work together, and the results far exceeded my own expectations. It took almost six months of production work, but it was worth it.

Anyway, I don't think I'll repeat the experience of publishing two albums just a week apart again, the idea was to take advantage of the end of the year dates to boost the publications, but I ended up destroyed, I hardly slept those days...
I leave the album below, which I hold very close to my heart:

                               

Take care of yourselves out there, the world has been very crazy lately, politicians are making a mess everywhere. Let's hope things change course.

Hugs from B. A.,

June 2022

 Hi All, 
After a long time we're here again. Things continue being complicated around the world after the pandemic, but we're still trying to be productive.
Since the last post we manage to still keep doing music, which in our local economy means a lot of effort. 
You can check the releases we made since september 2021 in our bandcamp, I left the link here: 

https://puppybordiga.bandcamp.com/

And this is the cover of my last album (with link to it): 


I hope you like what you can find there. All the music was made with all the love of our heart. 
Meanwhile we will try to continue living in the concrete jungle, trying to earn our bread day by day and running our home as best we can.
I know there are people that doesn't understand a bit of what I do, I know that there are people who are faster to judge than to talk, I have already found that unfortunate human subspecies on social networks, but beyond their sad lives, ideas and destructive opinions, we will continue to strive to do what expresses us as human and sensitive beings. 
Fortunately, I also found really inspired and talented people, like Cousin Silas, EISENLAGER, Marco Lucchi and others, so we can enjoy their friendship and make fruitful collaborations. My gratitude to all of them for so many years of sincere friendship, affection and shared music.
We're working on more new material, so stay tuned, especially to our page on facebook, which is the 1st place for news.
I hope all of you are well, my best wishes for everyone.

Take care, cheers ☺

September 2021

Hi Everyone,

Again a lot of time has passed since the last post. Life wasn't easy for nobody, and I'm not an exception. Said that, as many of you may know, I managed to produce music anyway, so I recommend to visit my Bandcamp to see the albums I've done throghout the year, in case you have missed some music from me.

I know I displayed a good sort of ideas in the process of passing this particular year, I hope that reflects my personal journey in life, is the best way to do and show music, I think. 

I'm old now and I'm trying to get the best of all of the multiple worlds that life shows when one walks through it with a loving view. I''ll try to do my best to musically express my own ideas about as long as I can, the better I can express, as always with my personal touch, using whatever I have in hands, no matter what.

And, speaking of life, this is at this point certainly uncertain as issues come and go constantly. but at a point I know mankind can do a possitive step into a better state of things, so I have my hope for a better times, I know the best is still to come.

Regards, 

Puppy ☺

A Few Words

 Hi all,


This year I did a certain abstinence from writing here, for reasons known throughout the world. This was probably one of the worst years of life for a good portion of people around the world.

Anyway, I managed myself well enough to produce more music, meanwhile constant adaptations in my private life took place to overcome the changing reality we lived in.

A lot of music has come to life since the last publication, so I leave here my last work to date, if you want to search more, use the links page on the right.


                                     

I hope that all my friends and family are well, and doing things, I believe that just that, doing, being in motion, is key to our future as people and as a society.

Happy holidays to all, best wishes ☺

Puppy

January 2020

Finally the new year arrived, and here we are, now something better after suffering casualties of technical and musical material in the studio, trying to stay on track, as who says, and organizing things for the future.

Despite having hit the bottom of the local economy, the year that went by we release a great album with Eisenlager and Cousin Silas on the end of last October, which remained, except for a video preview of December, as the last thing that could be done in 2019, given the chaotic circumstances in which we found ourselves submerged as well as the rest of the people here in Argenland.

I leave here both publications for those who have not yet seen them:

                                                                  (Bandcamp)


  (Vimeo)      


At this time we are developing the new album, which will include the music of the previous video, and that should have been finished before the end of the year in 2019, but that for various reasons could not be published before.
The album will be called "Second Star to the Right" and will include, in addition to new music, collaborations made for other labels and artists. I leave here the cover of the album, next to be published:


We hope that this new stage will find us more productive, and slowly recovering from the disaster that 2019 left us in the economy, forcing us to sacrifice a good part of our study, only in order to survive.
Our best wishes to all,

Puppy (and the team) ☺

October 2019

 Small upgrade on how things are going:

Finally we have published our new album "Voices of Distant Stars", with the collaboration of such talented musicians as Scott Snee, Daniel Fumega and Eisenlager, the later was a collaborator of ours in a couple of previous works, "Engrave" and "Altenative Ambient".
The album revolves around the vocal discourse and the various sound landscapes that are brewing thanks to the contribution of each one. As a friend mentioned in a post on Facebook, "Internet allows musicians to work remotely, strengthening ties, intermingling styles, enriching potentials, opening roads", in this case gathering people from places as distant as the United States, Germany and Argentina .

Here below I leave the player & link of the album's Bandcamp:


In the realm of the life in our beloved country, we are only days away from the elections that will determine who will be the new elected president that assumes in December, but society is still partly influenced by slogans, and although the youth little by little start to react to the fundamental questions, and analyzes things a little more objectively, unfortunately people from 40 years and older are still very attached to the old speeches and / or believe that changing the political sign is throwing the vote, although the alternatives are better at least in their philosophy.
The Argenland political class will have to make the greatest sacrifice in its history, if they want any chance of generating better living conditions for the rest of the population, the old paradigms must now be changed to have a unique opportunity to change towards a positive future. Otherwise, we will have to suffer more so that at some point later these lessons are learned.

Hopefully in the time to come we can see the beginning of that better time we wanted so much, and that drives us to continue being productive in this that fills our soul so much, which is music.

Greetings to all,
Puppy ☺
