Is Bardo Todol: you and your two kids?

Bardo Todol started five years ago. It was more related to tapes and recordings that I made with my daughter Nico. It has this approach more close to free folk music. Now Bardo Todol has a side project called Bardo Todol Y Sus Aves Sin Nido, which is more like a concrete music fandom. The music is more textural and Nico and I are now joined by Cina, he's three.

I enjoy the dictaphone sound.

I tend to record everything. I always take my walkman with me to record. I love tapes and recently, like more than a year or so, I started to make music with four track machines. So the tape collages are more vivid. I love the sound, and it’s constantly pushing me to think about another kind of world, another kind of transmission. We used to walk a lot through the forest that surrounds our home. I really love to go to rivers and record them.

I record almost everything on tape. But now I'm going again to a more quality sound and try to record more clearly. I'm currently making some sounds with a good mic passing the signal througha digital computer program such as pure data. So the sound is constantly moving. I'm also recording my hurdy gurdy, most like a concrete and moving rotating sound. So I used a lot of tape, but currently I have lost my two reel to reel recorders. I miss them a lot.

Do you see your music as psychedelic?

I think that my relationship with psychedelic music started by listening to a lot of this Finnish improv music collectives. We listen a lot to Kemialliset Ystavat, Uton, Avarus, Islaja and Lau Nau. Free folk has defined and shaped my ears to make music with acoustic instruments, and free folk pushed me to travel to India and grab a harmonium.

I believe that concrete music, that the way I approach it at this moment is more somewhat psychedelic. Like Reynols for example. I listen to rock jams and then noise things, and then concrete, and then field recordings, and more and more. The psychedelic part of it is that the music helps you to travel to different places in your mind. Some busy, some hot, some calm, some very familiar, some very unfamiliar, some more acoustic, and so on.

Do you play live?

I’m not very good at live gigs. I don’t like to play live. Bardo Todol is more like an internet and physical tape act. Plus I'm feeling quite old; the kids, and the house life, you know. It’s a good thing to record and go to record at other people’s houses.

Are you part of an Argentinian scene?

There are so many good things in Argentinian experimental music. People are making so tasty sort of music. I also have my own label, trying to support local artists who make field recordings, vaporwave, folk and minimalistic kinds of music. I made friends with projects that are alike and some others which are not. I played, recorded and will make some things in the future with Vluba, Federico Durand, Pan Del Indio, Fernando Perales, Juan José Calarco, Salvador Cresta, Trífido, Mrs Las Hijas De Israel, Nonoise, and many others.
