All my records as Mi Cosa de Resistance/My Thing de Resistance are based on vinyl sampling techniques. Sampling is the act of taking a portion of a pre-existing piece of music in order to reuse it to create some different or “new” pieces. In other words, the so-called Artist feeds from other Artists’s creations. Here we have the concept of Parasitism, in which sampling cannot survive without other musicians’s blood/bloody music. Somehow, the connection between an artist and the art tradition or art history is also a matter of Parasitism or a Parasitism affair, because musicians, painters, etc. are always “taking” ideas, resources, and materials from the past. The Parasite project would not be able to survive without other people´s music. And certainly, an artist would not be able to survive without the art tradition. By the way…the name Mi Cosa de Resistance/My Thing de Resistance comes from one of “The Simpsons” episodes, in which Homer becomes an avant-garde artist. At the opening night of his exhibition he says something like “and here My thing De Resistance”, which I always found utterly funny. Mi Cosa de Resistance pertenece a lo que he llamado "El Proyecto Parásito", concepto que indica un proceso de creación musical que solo puede sobrevivir mientras pueda alimentarse de música ajena. Es además, una forma extrema y miserable de pensar la relación del músico con la tradición a la que pertenece. |

Surgida de una búsqueda, en un principio intuitiva, pero intencional, la experiencia sonora de Viva La Muerte, se concentra concientemente en la encrucijada entre una serie de procedimientos estéticos, hoy ya históricos y tradicionales y la propia historia familiar. |
