Pablito Molina is my friend since a while, we meet through a highschool mate of mine, Vinicio Montalvo(1982-2003) when we were still living in Santiago, Chile. Since then he was already a myth because of his street performances, but mostly because of his poems. I remember that time that we went all together to nico's house in concon, a small summer village by the sea and spend most of the time on the beach drinking escudo beer and listening to pablito's covers from nirvana, charly garcia, olivia newton-john and many other great classics. Those days I discovered that he could also play the guitar and with such a feeling. That period, the year 2000, my last period in Chile was so intense, electronic music was at the top, and our friend Vini was playing gigs often with his electro-crash band A la luz resistant, everybody had (and still have) very special dance steps.
After two years from when I left Chile, Vini had an accident and died. Pablito was there during those days. After that we lost ourselves and didn't knew anymore about each other life. After many years we meet in Berlin and we become neighbors. he is now in berlin and plays his guitar more and more often.
25.03.2011 at Raum20 this time the line-up is even longer as we get deeper and deeper in Berlin’s most radioactive music scene. The caleuche’s series purpose is to end-up organizing massive concerts in the Olympic Stadium from the year 2015, If the world is still there
On his old website Kevin gives a brief description about the album :
Slow Dudes was recorded in 2005 in Berlin Germany using homemade instruments built by me, general MIDI software, and some analog synthesizers built by Peter Blasser. The software provides a familiar architectural ingredient, while the homemade instruments are highly gestural in order to battle the defaults present in the software.
I contacted Kevin a month ago asking him if it was possible to upload Slow Dudes and released it under the Caleuche_Video series. He replied and said yes.
During the last days searching for more of Kevin's stuff I discovered that Slow Dudes has been already released once in the free download form by a website that now is offline called maximumsorrow.com, Kevin's old website I guess.
After spending some hours in the netz I found this video.
Gomme Cromo was released originally in a limited number of cdr and tape copies by a small label based in Bologna called Teleion records, during the summer of 2007.
Caleuche_Video 002 31 minutes Tape tracks recorded in between 2008 and 2011 printed in april 2011 first edition : 20 copies Limited edition of 20 different covers
