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

And… It was a night to remember.

Last night was the last show of “Leaving A World Behind 2010″ and it was an incredible experience for the entire crew as we were part of the Miami Music Television Special Show gathering local bands and amazing new local talents. We had the privilege to hear bands and musicians getting together to perform at The Talent Farm, located in Pembroke Pines FL. Our day was filled with artists from every genre of music including Josh Hand, Eloquence The Band, Recover South among others.

Ronald Rip was the third artist to give a powerful performance including the new songs from his new upcoming album to be released in early 2011. It was at 9:30pm approximately when Rip delivered a very emotional performance including “Imaginary Jenn” & “Electric Love” Mr Luis Gomez impressed the crowd with clean and stunning solos for the songs. They opened the show with “She Runs Against The Clock” making the crowd cheering for more. Rip introduced the band with a very pleased attitude calling them “amazing musicians” and how lucky he was having them as a back up band.

Right after the show, the band was taken to the dressing rooms for an interview with Miami Music Television, the guys were joking and very happy talking about how great the show was.

ABC Local Channel 10 will air this performance on January 1st 2011

We will keep you posted with pictures and videos from this event.

Imaginary Jenn is the 4Th single of Ronald Rip and it will be included in the next album to be released in February 2011. This release is scheduled to be in iTunes and in every digital music store on the web including Amazon MP3, E-Music, SoundCloud, Bandpage, Facebook Page, MySpace, and also for direct download at ronaldrip.com

The recording process took place in ET studios in North Miami Beach FL with the collaboration and dedication of an amazing talent and great friend Mr Ender Thomas

Ender became interested in Rip’s sound from the moment he heard PREMIERE about a year ago and wanted to get involved with the whole process for “Imaginary Jenn” and he’s also producing, engineering and mixing Rip’s next album. Being one of the voices of the great composer Yanni, Ender is a multi-instrumentalist and an incredible singer, it was an amazing experience to work with him. This combination will bring the best of both worlds, creating a synergy between rock and pop music.

“Imaginary Jenn” is now available for download on iTunes  http://itunes.apple.com/us/

Imaginary Jenn

The streets are paralyzed
I take a break and
I’ts time to sing this song

I’m counting until 5
I see your figure and
A moment when you came along

There is enough space to paint
your face into the sun

Let your image dry and
Grab the wind inside my lungs

Ohhh don’t go

Imaginary Jenn
Give me some time
And let me travel to your eyes

Imaginary Jenn
Wings of butterfly
Lets’ write the story of your time

ohhh don’t go

10 minutes to describe
A transparent division
of the soul

My heart was vandalized
A white scripture is hidden
on the wall

I will remain silent when you
Say you didn’t know

Let’s cross the fingers tight
and see the show

Ohhh don’t go

Imaginary Jenn
Give me some time
And let me travel through your mind

Imaginary Jenn
Wings of butterfly
Lets’ write the story of your time

And your smile will always be there for my story
And your hands will always take me to the glory

Ohhh Jenn

Imaginary Jenn
Give me some time
And let me travel to your eyes

Imaginary Jenn
Wings of butterfly
Lets’ write the story of your time

I Wish…

I wish you the courage to be warm when

the world would prefer that you be cool.

I wish you success sufficient to your needs;

I wish you failure to temper that success.

I wish you joy in all your days; I wish you

sadness so that you may better measure

that joy.

I wish you gladness to overbalance grief.

I wish you humor and a twinkle in the eye.

I wish you glory and the strength to bear

its burdens.

I wish you sunshine on your path and

storms to season your journey.

I wish you peace in the world in which

you live and in the smallest corner of the

heart where truth is kept.

I wish you faith to help define your living

and your life.

More I cannot wish you, except perhaps

LOVE , to make all the rest worthwhile…

The truth is that I came here to look for you…You know those statements are not true

To win the approval of all these saints

And only love will remain

The truth is that I came here to talk…

And to let our feelings go for a walk

Let them crossing the road of freedom

And let our minds to surrender

There won’t be time to laugh at ourselves

and welcome our bliss

There will be a time to stop our devotion

And the moments to be missed

The truth is that I sing when the message is true

To wait for your dreams while you take your time to paint the moon

No space for illusion or any regret…

I’m going to be here and I’ll never forget

There won’t be time to laugh at ourselves

and welcome our bliss

There will be a time to stop our devotion

And the moments to be missed

Take a look of your soul…mine is clear

Only love will remain

Hello Friends!

I am really happy to announce that I just started rehearsals with my band for new shows we are gonna play throughout  South Florida, I am very lucky to count with great musicians that are going to perform with me on the shows…With more than 20 years experience We will have Mr. Luis Gomez on the lead guitar; with his incredible talent and  unique playing that amazed me all the time! On the drums it is a privilege to share the stage with Mr. Gerardo Ubieda, he has been touring extensively with the band SOLARES from Venezuela, and he posses an amazing talent…On the bass guitar a young folk but so talented that I call him the “prodigy”, his bass playing is so precise and intuitive that can take any music to a different level, Of course I’m talking about Gonzalo Gallarza. We will have special guests for the keyboards as well as for the guitars and we will start playing in the greater Miami area, We will be announcing venues last week of January….

On the set we will include material from PREMIERE and some of the new songs I’m in the process of recording, Including “She Runs Against The Clock” “Imaginary Jenn” and “The View” mixed up with a couple of covers and acoustic version of ( Put the name of the song here)

Imagination unveils thoughts of colors and shapes, how do we paint our present and future? how can we feel alive if we don’t imagine a better world?…we still believe in the age of the innocence because there’s always something bigger than us…that immense force that give us that connection beyond understanding…the ice is melting and the sun is coming up for more…and more, asking more of our consciousness…I’m diving in my celebration of my own mind and the expansion of a new world…

There’s is this kid looking for attention, and waiting for the sun to shine on his face…he had a melody on his head and he is composing a piece of art combining sounds and patterns inside his body, and he wonders, How can I diffuse the structure of my thinking on a clear way so people can dive into my consciousness?

I need to celebrate my commitment for you…

There’s nothing else I can do…

I do this for you…

I do this to feel free…

I do this because I love you…

Knowing Ronald for a couple of years now has progressively given me a broader understanding of him, primarily, as a human being. Dedication, constancy, self-improvement, are terms, among others that come to mind, describing his passion for life, and ultimately for music. I proudly manifest my involvement in Ronald’s development as a musician since his most recent, and successful musical journey. In fact, I’d dare to say that we began ideating and combining our musical ideas one night at his pad. Later that same year we decided to walk on different directions—musically. Nevertheless, that’s another story…

When I first opened my ears to—still-in-the-cradle—Ronald’s music, I quickly noticed how those terms I mentioned before reflected so fitly on his work. Transitioning from his then band Single Dot to the more robust musical and artistic structure he presents today, Ronald unknowingly—yet conscious in his deep mind, surpassed “that” even he might have ambitioned just a few months before: this “baby” has matured to become his work of art as he ambitioned it.
