Acoustic Ideas down by Daniel Urdaneta

Hi….

It’s been a while since we made the last update for RR website. After some of the shows played in “Leaving A World Behind 2010″ , Rip took a break from recording and performing. It has been an exciting year so far and the god news is that he’s back to the studio to record the entire album!

In the beginning of the year it was a constant trip to find new ideas letting creativity take it’s place. the process of composition have been long but fruitful, working hard but freely writing songs and songs and more songs. Finally, the tracks are ready to be recorded.

This time Rip looked for the collaboration of music producer and composer Daniel Urdaneta who is also responsible for generating the ideas for the upcoming album in Spanish in 2012. the work will be done between Art Sound Studios & Masiva Music studios in Miami FL and it is going to be backed up by great musicians from the local scene.

I’m happy to be part of this project and share with all of you a “documentary” of behind the scenes, interviews, photos and more during the recording stage of the album.

This site is going to be very active for the next 5 months left of 2011.

Thanks for visiting ronaldrip.com

The experience of NYC it’s always unique every time I come here for business or pleasure, This time I got to meet lots of people from the music industry to share their opinions and discuss the direction of where the music industry is heading…

Arriving on Wednesday morning through La Guardia International airport I made my way directly to the Roosevelt Hotel where there were some panelists welcoming all people to LAMC, although the conference started one day before there were a long line for people that were not registered to the conferences yet, musicians, managers, A&R representatives from different record labels and mostly the press and media all over the place. I got to meet some of the band members of Volumen Cero, Los Amigos Invisibles, Natalia Lafourcade, Javier Garcia among others.

The very same day in the afternoon I attended the Summerstage at Central Park where they had an interesting mix of experimental bands with sounds compared with artists such as Bjork, Portishead, Radiohead and some of those tendencies…

All 3 days of the LAMC were and incredible source for me to meet important people from the industry and to see important acts in the world of Alternative music in Spanish, I see clearly how music in our countries are evolving immensely during the past decade and makes me proud to be Latinoamericano when I saw people from all over the world enjoying this excellent festival of bands and arts…

I’m about to take my flight now non stop to Ft. Lauderdale and I’m bringing great memories and good ideas to implement in my quest of creating music!
