Written with José Luis Cabeza.
The first session of the HIPNÓTICA project began with a primitive
version written by José Luis Cabeza of the beginning of «El Valle de
Atenea». José Travieso tells a funny story about that day: «when we
finished that morning -which I remember as if it was yesterday-, José
Luis said to me: "I didn't recorded you the guitar to have it at home;
will you remember how is going all the music or you need me to record
now the guitar to rehearse at home???". I answered: "I remember all
my part, no problem". He: "Are you sure?". Me: "not recordings at
all!"… Hahaha! When I came back at home a hour later, I was excited
for the new project in my hands, and I wanted to play the lines that
José Luis made… I did it, but… something didn't work. I tried
again and I thought that a variation was the correct, but… so long?
After a few of attempts I found (I thought then) the original version,
and then I made new arrangements and so on. It was cool… Two or
three days later, when we get together again, we began to play, but it
was a disaster. Once, two times… José Luis said to me: "what hell
are you playing?!". And I replied: "your song!". He: "nooo!". The
thing was that I went there with a music rather different to the
original one… a different harmony, an altered melodic line, even I
added a musical period totally invented! "Oppsss…". But well, the
new stuff had some good ideas and we tried to combine his part with
my part, and result was fine!». This is the story of the first three
or four minutes of the piece.
The last stuff written for HIPNÓTICA is in «Raíces y Misterios»
(«Roots and Mysteries»), a long digression breaking the exposition
of «El Valle de Atenea» -in the same way that «El Gato Negro» does
with «Angélica»-, written completely by José Travieso and where he
put the andalusian flamenco in his music by first time.
