• Hernán Ríos is planning several tours: Europe, Mexico, South Africa and United States, Brazil, Chile and interior of Argentina, playing solo piano and percussion and in duet with Argentine percussionist Facundo Guevara.

 

• Release of a new solo recording (beginning of 2008) on CD and DVD (solo and with percussionist Facundo Guevara and singer Silvana Rodríguez as guest musicians) playing piano, percussion, drums and voice.

The concept behind this recording is a continuation of previous solo and EL TERCETO records: to go into the studio to play and record live versions of pieces. As always, a fundamental part of the project is the great sound engineer MARIO BREUER, who has participated in all of Hernán Ríos’ productions.
The material for this album was recorded in Estudios ION on August 30 and 31, 2007. There are 25 tunes, in which improvisation is explored within the context of Argentine and Latin American rhythms. The music from these sessions was all recorded live (solo piano and other instrumental formations with piano, percussion, drum set and voices), although here there is an openness to overdubbing “in real time” piano duets and piano-drumset duets on some pieces.

The entire recording session was filmed with five cameras, directed by RODRIGO MEROLLA to later release a DVD with the complete versions of these tunes. The DVD will show the recording session as if it were an in-studio concert.

• Release in México of his solo live concert played in the “III Festival del Día Internacional de la Música” Hermosillo, 2005.

• Publication of a book based on the improvisation workshops that details his personal pedagogical approach.

• Release of a DVD that shows the work of the musical improvisation workshops.
