ABOUT RAZL:

The truth is that I have no idea how I ended up having this weird instrument in my hands. I guess at some point someone gave me the chance to choose among a toilet brush, an olive can or a guitar and I thought to myself... "hey, the guitar is cool!"

After that, everybodys story, these are the strings, you need to tune it from time to time, these are the amps, these the pedals.

Since my budget didn..t do it to go to Berkeley, I decided to look for cool players, and those characters put me in contact with Rock, Blues or Jazz, and my inseparable Zappa albums. The wisdom of the great guitar player Chema Vílchez , in particular, opened a whole world of possibilities to me.

As all of us, I have played with very weird people, very nice yes, but weird. People that move in such despair styles like progressive rock or hip-hop.

I currently compose and produce music for TV and commercials.

ABOUT ROTONOVA:

Rotonova is the debut Album of the Jazz-Funk guitarist Razl. Intergalactic dangerously addictive grooves, creative guitar melodies over saturated leslie sounds, and zappian environments for weird earthlings.

The album has been recorded with the collaboration of Dean Brown (Marcus Miller, Brecker Brothers, Vital Information, Bill Evans) and Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Mullmuzzler) on guitar, Bryan Beller (Steve Vai, Mike Keneally Band) and Damian Erskine (jazz legend Peter Erskine's nephew) on bass and Charlie Dennard (Stanton Moore, Quintology, New World Funk Ensemble) on keyboards amongst others. All mastered by the prestigious engineer Michael Fossenkemper of Turttletone Studios, NY (Medeski, Martin & Wood, John Scofield).

Rotonova is not a record for velocipedes... Razl's fingers haven't been in danger at any time, but melodies have been meditated with great evil, since they have an extreme neural penetration capacity.

Razl amuses himself in every note and environment from this ordered chaos, paranoic improvisation in perfect equilibrium. All this makes Rotonova a surprisingly mixture in which each song is a new sound universe molded by each and every one of the great musicians collaborating with Razl.
