A MYSTERIOUS STORY

Don Antonio, you must not take the secret of your guitars to your grave…”

“…it is impossible for me to pass it on to posterity”

Torres' Papier-Mâché was a unique case in the history of lutherie, not only for guitars: Antonio de Torres (1817-1892), now considered the Stradivari of the six strings, was the first and, as far as is known, the only one to build a Papier-Mâché instrument in 1862. This guitar, paradoxically, despite its apparent humility, produces a fascinating, mysterious and unique sound world. Since the original, preserved at the Museum of Music in Barcelona, is no longer able to express its voice, the album aims to rediscover and revive the peculiar timbral and sonic characteristics of this interesting instrument through the use of two inspired copies.

The luthier Fabio Zontini has taken up the challenge launched by Torres and has been building Papier-Mâché copies for almost twenty years. The two instruments used by Federica Artuso for the recording were made between April and September 2023 and both weigh (incredibly) just 995 grams. They also have natural gut strings. Zontini has thus created a kind of connection with the great Torres, capturing a kind of experiment-prototype by the Andalusian luthier, and successfully trying to spread it to the present day.

The Papier-Mâché is a kind of living contradiction precisely because of the contrast between the humble material it is made of and the artistically surprising sonic result. And inspired by this contrast, an emblematic program of that paradox that embodies the identity of the guitar was recorded, always poised between the humble soul, authentic and popular on one hand, and the Olympus of classical music on the other. The music recorded here is all by guitarist-composers who lived during the time of the cardboard guitar or who had dealings with Torres' instruments. These guitarists are part of that performing tradition and sonic poetics of which the Papier-Mâché is an emblem. Some of the pieces, although written by non-guitarist composers, are part of that repertoire with which the six strings are most identified.

Arcas and Parga* attempted to elevate the guitar to a classical instrument, without managing to completely emancipate themselves from flamenco reminiscences. Their style perfectly suits the archaic essentiality of the Papier-Mâché's sound, and their music, though strongly rooted in popular language, gradually leads us to the bourgeois and salon style of Garcia Tolsa* and Tarrega, pupils of Arcas. Their music is no longer just for those with flamenco blood in their veins or for those who consider opera the only classical music. It is music that appeals to intellectuals, and if it allows for dancing, it does so on the condition that it is a salon dance. From the musicians' point of view, unlike his predecessors, Tarrega manages to package expressive impulses into totally complete forms.

Miguel Llobet, a pupil of Tarrega, is known as a composer mainly for his guitar version of the Canciones populares catalanas. The part of the program concerning him also features a repertoire of which he is not the author, but which faithfully represents him and where all the innovations brought by his creative flair, which bring out what is most characteristic of the guitar, are evident.

Maria Luisa Anido was a pupil of Llobet, as well as his partner in a guitar duo. The Argentine musician was among the last guitarists in the 1950s to use gut strings - by then difficult to find - and, among other things, owned Tarrega's Torres (1864, FE17). Anido is the emblem of the guitar's image as a watershed between the world of folk music and that of classical music, a dichotomy that will probably never be fully resolved. This is demonstrated by her irresistible transcriptions of great classics such as Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and her South American pieces, pulsating with indigenous energy.

They are using different/cheaper shredded foam then they were 1 year ago
Color: Memory Pillow, Size: Standard, Color: Memory Pillow, Size: Standard
The shredded foam used last year was really nice and soft and even firm to a point where your head is supported perfectly while you sleep. now the 2 extra pillows I received this weekend have completely different shredded foam which seems to be cheaper. Also when you unzip the pillow cover and get to the part where you can unzip the other cover where the foam is no longer is there. so they are using cheaper shredded foam and a cheaper cover to where the foam is and you can no longer unzip the second cover to see the foam. but I can easily tell that they are using different and cheaper foam which isn't true memory foam. their new blend is too fluffy and the pillows are floppy and too soft. the old ones i bought 1 year ago are heavy pillows that are true memory foam which your head molds into perfectly and are amazing. these new ones they are making aren't worth it. In one picture you can see the cover with different colored cheap foam and the other picture with the green and white thick premium quality shredded memory foam. The other pictures show how the old ones are thick and firm and moldable for you head and the other 2 are floppy because they use cheaper shredded foam. They need to use the shredded foam they used last year! it was really good! Now they are not true memory foam pillows anymore due to changing from premium shredded foam to cheap shredded foam.
