Bajo el pseudónimo Marc Saintglass se nos presenta Fidel Vázquez (Unoma) con un primer trabajo personal y completamente instrumental en tono cinemático titulado 11.000 kms, dónde intenta transcribir musicalmente las experiencias de un largo viaje desde Barcelona al círculo polar ártico, concretamente en Kiruna (Suecia).

Una música minimalista, con presencia continua de guitarra como protagonista apoyada de una sección rítmica del experimental Vasco Trilla y el bajista venezolano Victor Rago. Me viene recuerdos de aqui y de alla de Pat Metheny, John MacLaughlin y Allan Holdsworth, recurso fácil por ser guitarristas solistas, pero en este caso Marc Saintglass define su estilo propio alejado de etiquetas, sin poder evitar sus influencias.

Al proyecto le acompañan una serie de videos que evocan los paisajes naturales que inspiran las melodías, realizados por Mar Jardiel, permiten al espectador sumergirse en una experiencia sensorial.

Under the pseudonym Marc Saintglass Fidel Vázquez (Unoma) presents us with his first personal and completely instrumental work in a cinematic tone entitled 11.000 kms, where he tries to transcribe musically the experiences of a long trip from Barcelona to the Arctic Circle, specifically in Kiruna (Sweden).

Minimalist music, with a continuous presence of guitar as protagonist supported by a rhythm section of the experimental Vasco Trilla and the Venezuelan bassist Victor Rago. It brings back memories of Pat Metheny, John MacLaughlin and Allan Holdsworth, an easy resource for being solo guitarists, but in this case Marc Saintglass defines his own style away from labels, without avoiding his influences.

The project is accompanied by a series of videos that evoke the natural landscapes that inspire the melodies, made by Mar Jardiel, allowing the viewer to immerse in a sensory experience.
