My name is Marcelo F. Lazcano, I am originally from Chile. I have been a guitar player for a long time -mainly trash, metal, progressive rock- and at some point the contemporary art music bug bit me, so now I am a Ph.D. student in composition at the University of California, San Diego.
Interests
As a composer I am very interested in Spectral music, the acoustic properties of performance spaces, and how they can be incorporated into music. Of course this has been done -officially- for almost 40 years, so my personal challenge is how to incorporate this technique/ art form into my Chilean musical background...I will update everyone once I figure that one out.
As a guitar player, I am very interested in alternate tunings and bi-tones; the tones that are produce in the string between the finger(s) and the nut. To be continued...
