Blowout | Arturo Bandini
In 2017 Genaro collaborated with Thomas McDonell and the Arturo Bandini Gallery in Los Angeles putting together the first issue of a new audio magazine, BLOW OUT. The magazine included new original material by Genaro and an eclectic group (from conceptual sound artist Mungo Thompson to pioneering punk musician David Yow to voice actress Mae Whitman...)
In Genaro’s contribution he explores the inter-sexuality of three fascinating composers and their relationship to women and thus to themselves through the use of the piano, vocal range, and written textures. John Field, for instance, a notorious alcoholic, chose to live in Saint Petersburg Russia where he invented the Nocturne as a form with its sinuous exposed melodic line. The essential style is that of a single singing line over a simple accompaniment to which Chopin was often to add a contrasting faster middle section again showing his dramatic or exhibitionistic side (often in conflict with his introverted side).
