\"\u00c1ngelDesde la inicial \u201cThe dragon is asleep\u201d hasta \u201cThat bloody house\u201d, ambas incluidas, formaron parte de Twelve days of Winter<\/em>, (octoberXart Records<\/em>, 8 de enero de 2024) un mini \u00e1lbum en el que \u00c1ngel Ontalva tocaba todos los instrumentos (desde las guitarras, bajo y teclados hasta las composiciones), y que sirvi\u00f3 de embri\u00f3n para \u00e9ste Persian Courtyard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Podemos afirmar que estamos ante la mismas partituras, m\u00e1s 4 composiciones extras, arreglos diferentes e instrumentalmente implementados por una viola, un bajo y una bater\u00eda.<\/p>\n

La inclusi\u00f3n del Mellotr\u00f3n sampleado<\/em> (que rememora a Robert Wyatt o Hatfield and the North e incluso yendo m\u00e1s all\u00e1 al Tony Banks de Genesis) es una de las caracter\u00edsticas m\u00e1s acusadas del disco por encima de la guitarra.<\/p>\n

El origen de la m\u00fasica que se incluye en este \u00e1lbum parte del tiempo en que \u00c1ngel Ontalva estuvo hospedado en la ciudad rusa de Astrac\u00e1n, en el denominado edificio\u00a0<\/em>Patio Persa,<\/em> durante los meses de Noviembre y Diciembre de 2023.<\/p>\n

En cuanto a Persian Courtyard<\/em>, sus formas intrincadas, sus matices y sus colores sonoros suponen una propuesta art\u00edstica que eleva el nivel de compromiso a lo m\u00e1s alto y sin reservas, donde se dan cita, adem\u00e1s de cierto aroma \u00e9tnico, el rock<\/em> de c\u00e1mara, el jazz, el rock<\/em> progresivo Canterbury<\/em> (\u201cThe dragon is asleep\u201d, \u201cFable of the fox and the sheep\u201d, \u201cLooking back\u201d o \u201cSatellites\u201d) e incluso la m\u00fasica contempor\u00e1nea.<\/p>\n

Compuesto por once piezas cortas de po\u00e9tica belleza (\u201cA door is closed, a window is open\u201d), de pasajes misteriosos y fantasmales (\u201cThat bloody house\u201d, \u201cBeyond the fiery river\u201d) y por momentos surrealista.<\/p>\n

Jazz\u00edstica e igualmente fantasmal se muestra \u201cBetween two worlds\u201d; \u201cA decadent ballroom (echoes of a faun)\u201d, es un ensue\u00f1o que mezcla el rock Canterbury<\/em> y el bolero;<\/p>\n

\u201cUna para El Camino\u201d, extra\u00f1amente abraza el spaghetti western<\/em> e \u201cIn my dreams, dreams\u201d, es un collage<\/em> sonoro entre la m\u00fasica de c\u00e1mara y fragmentos de pel\u00edculas vintage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A modo de reflexi\u00f3n concluir\u00e9, que ciertas expresiones musicales conllevan una t\u00e9cnica y una complejidad que exige del escuchante un esfuerzo y un conocimiento acorde a dicha m\u00fasica, y este es el caso de \u00c1ngel Ontalva, ya sea en solitario o con su grupo October Equus; estar en posesi\u00f3n de ese esfuerzo y ese conocimiento te har\u00e1 adentrarte en el complejo y enriquecedor mundo de Persian Courtyard<\/em>.<\/p>\n
