about

ODG080 : Matador / Matador

Matador is a solo project by uruguayan composer/guitarist/singer Santiago Bogacz currently residing in Köln, Germany.

Santiago Bogacz uses nylon and steel-string guitars, always detuned to the lower zones of these instruments, in order to make the sound more about the materials rather than the notes, about the strings itselves. Voices are the second important instrument of this project, non-lyrical, onomatopoeic. Somehow, both guitars and voices are treated as one, trying to be melted, in order to create one big non-stoping visceral flow. All these are a mean, in the end, to establish an ambient, a ritual. A dark and intense one (maybe even scary), but, for Santiago Bogacz, a very freeing one.

Starting in 2014 and having already recorded 2 EPs, 2 LPs. and a live album the music presented in it combines Latin American and North African, among some Eastern, folk music with ideas that are more related to contemporary classical, experimental, free jazz and improvised music. None of these are influences, but more like inspirations.

Matador was recorded in one piece and in one time, it was cut into 10 different pieces after, but they all follow the original path. A mixture of typically South-American and North African music, flamenco, heavy rock guitars, Ry Cooder kind of blues, among some even Eastern folk music with ideas that are more related to contemporary classical, experimental, free jazz and improvised music. None of these are influences, but more like inspirations...

At the end, you have a mysterious album by a very talented guy doing really original songs!
