Los Parafusos – Improvisación de Loreto (2010-2013)

Los Parafusos
(Gilda Mantilla y Raimond Chaves)
A partir del tema "Bajo el sol de Loreto" de Antonio Wong Rengifo y Jorge Runciman

En el proceso de investigación a partir de los fondos de las dos bibliotecas especializadas en la Amazonía de la ciudad de Iquitos(*), Gilda Mantilla y Raimond Chaves dieron con una serie de partituras cuya música sirvió de banda sonora para el video-ensayo resultante de dicha pesquisa llamado "Un afán incómodo", (Lima, 2011). Las partituras, que correspondían a un amplio abanico de músicas provenientes de la zona, algunas de origen indígena y otras de índole urbana, fueron scaneadas, leídas e interpretadas mediante un software digital especializado en estos menesteres. El carácter improvisatorio de esta interpretación, que parte del tema "Bajo el sol de Loreto" de los compositores Antonio Wong Rengifo y Jorge Runciman, viene dado por el comportamiento del software capaz de leer la partitura, e interpretarla correctamente a partir de la notación, pero que reacciona de manera no previsible, musicalmente hablando, ante defectos de impresión, errores tipográficos o similares. Las "dificultades" de lectura del software como metáfora de la falibilidad de todo proceso de conocimiento, y en definitiva de comprensión, de un contexto "otro" y ajeno.

English Version

Los Parafusos – Improvisación de Loreto (Loreto Improvisation) (2010-2013)

Los Parafusos (Gilda Mantilla and Raimond Chaves)
Based on the piece “Bajo el sol de Loreto” by Antonio Wong Rengifo and Jorge Runciman

As a result of an investigation in the archives of the two libraries specialized on the subject of Amazonia in the city of Iquitos (*), Gilda Mantilla and Raimond Chaves found a series of scores whose music served as the soundtrack for a video essay titled “Un afán incómodo” (Lima, 2011).

The scores, which came from a broad spectrum of musics coming from the area, some of indigenous origin and others urban in origin, were scanned, read and interpreted by means of digital software specialized in these matters. The improvisational character of this interpretation, which stems from the piece “Bajo el sol de Loreto” by the composers Antonio Wong Rengifo and Jorge Runciman, derives from the behavior of the software which can read scores and interpret them correctly based on the notation, but also reacts in a non-foreseeable manner, musically speaking, faced with printed deficiencies, typos or similar. The reading “difficulties” of the software appear as a metaphor to the fallibility of any process of knowledge and definitely of comprehension, within an “other” and alien context.

Originally published on a 7” policarbonate record for the “La extensión del soporte” exhibition (2013) curated by Luis Alvarado at Centro Fundación Telefónica, Lima.
