Sobre Rubén de Haro 802 artículos
Antropólogo cultural autoproclamado y operador de campo en el laboratorio informal de la escena sonora. Nací —metafóricamente— en la línea de confluencia entre la melancolía pluvial de Seattle, los excesos endocrinos del Sunset Boulevard y la viscosidad primigenia de los pantanos de Louisiana; una triada que, pasada por el tamiz cartográfico, podría colapsar en un punto absurdo entre Wyoming, Dakota del Sur y Nebraska —territorios que mantengo bajo cuarentena por puro instinto y una superstición razonable. Mi método crítico es pragmático: la presencia de guitarras, voces que empujan o cualquier forma de distorsión actúa como criterio diagnóstico. No prometo coherencia sentimental —ni tampoco pases seguros—; prometo honestidad estética. En cuanto al vestir, la única regla inamovible es la suela: Vans, nada de J'hayber. Siempre con la vista puesta en lo que viene —no en lo que ya coleccionan los museos—: evalúo el presente para anticipar las formas en que la música hará añicos (o reconfigurará) lo que damos por establecido.
