For over a decade, one of the underground’s most creative forces has constructed compositions that sound unlike anything else and electronic influences that evades easy categorization and often doesn’t sound like traditional guitar-centric music Those lucky enough to find those solo and collaborative releases discover works that rewrite the books on the possibilities of the guitar and the genres Domene chooses to delve into And for those few souls brave enough to stick around it often seems like he’s rewiring multiple styles at once flipping the off switches on tropes and cliches while patching together something new since Domene is making the music he wants to listen to the music isn’t “experimental” in the overused music critic sense Álvaro Domene is letting you into his home to hear Álvaro Domene is being out on the boundary-pushing fringes of music ever lonely for Domene “Not for me,” the multi-hyphenate guitarist “I’m out on the fringes of other aspects of my life What I still haven’t gotten used to is the feeling that Domene’s albums inspire. His newest works, Collisions and Contradictions — released on Iluso Records the label Domene started with drummer Michael Caratti — are fine examples of the ineffable sensations that Domene’s music evokes The related sets are named quite literally smash together like particle beams in an accelerator What’s produced can be quite contradictory and even disarmingly alien Take “Fierce Universalism,” Collisions’ opener it’s like a computer trying to recover a Blotted Science song lost on a severely fragmented drive unlike some self-consciously experimental releases that come off as a skunkworks produced solely for other musicians Collisions and Contradictions have something else swimming around in the soup of the neat noises it’s the trademark touch of all of Domene’s releases: These songs are teeming with life They’re less a didactic exercise in theoretical possibilities and more like someone showing you the inner workings of their mind COLLISIONS by Álvaro Domene And it’s clear that, in opposition to the rep hung on a lot of prog tinkerers as inveterate noodlers, Domene has thought about this stuff pretty profoundly. “One aspect that has been augmented and furthered forward significantly in relation to previous works is the emphasis on time linearity manipulation as it relates to form,” he explained in both albums’ Bandcamp liner notes “I often hear melodies and other musical events simultaneously happening at different tempi and correlation to each other at both the micro and the macro level resembling the self-replicating nature of fractal maths at different magnitude of perspectives is that the same melody might take the form of a full five-minute piece but also occur in one single instance and anything in between and also be manipulated in different ways (pitch transposition of many kinds etc.) while retaining the structural codependency of all the iterations of said line and its inner cells Melodies can become a web of decentralized musical cells that have an interdependent logic and structure.” While considering the fractal math of it all may make you smell something burning as your brain is revved into overdrive the high-level processes at play behind these two albums are more straightforward “Collisions and Contradictions represent the natural evolution of the concepts documented on Rapid Influx,” Domene explains to me which I’ve described elsewhere “as if Autechre commandeered Botch and forced Dave Knudson to make a jazz record.” RAPID INFLUX by Álvaro Domene “The main difference is that while on Rapid Influx I worked with guitar and drum computer at once the process was altered,” Domene notes “I recorded the guitar parts in their entirety as full takes and then recorded the drum computer afterwards Collisions is quite influenced by death metal but actively avoids as many cliches as possible and I’m not talking only about the drum computer flexibility of time and multi-directionality of gestures modular motivic blocks that get manipulated through the piece are some of the compositional elements documented in it.” and this is a technical music term befitting Domene’s expertise But Domene’s dispatches from the unknown end of music will resonate with people who have made music their life who want surprises and seek comfort in the unexplored that’s a key part of Domene’s story And for those who vibrate on the same wavelength they may feel like through Domene’s work the vibrations transmitted from the guitar itself onto my body the addition of the amplifier pushing air in the room felt soothing which made me fully committed to it and obsessed right away,” he remembers “My brain still processes the sensory input in the same manner; however as an adult with 25 years of dedication to the craft The connection to the instrument and sound in general feels as both an extension of my central nervous system and as transcendental as the universe using my being in a state of flow as a vessel to organize sound Domene’s mother and grandfather played guitar while he was growing up in Carabanchel He picked up the instrument and then focused on it in his teens Alongside his budding talents that landed him in several early bands he was developing a voracious appetite for far-reaching music “I was driven by my own relentless curiosity and obsession with different musics and gained awareness through a combination of a friend from high school who was older than me people from different scenes in Madrid (where I grew up and went to lots of concerts “I was a sponge and wanted to hear everything that I could find so I would always be following the serotonin trail left for me by art that shook me to my core at an emotional and intellectual level.” The trail naturally led Domene to sponge up metal “I never really considered myself a ‘metalhead,'” he admits “but the music of certain metal bands was really important to me and through listening and learning some of that music I acquired certain sensibilities conviction) and material (specific techniques on the instrument etc.) that became a part of my musical personality and which are applied to everything that I do whether it’s a metal derived project or not.” While Domene may not consider himself a metalhead he’s still cultivated an intriguing take on the style’s importance in his playing “There are certain aspects of performing ultra-intense and highly technical music that I think is likely only achievable if you spend time working in metal music that features those elements,” he writes I think that’s why most ‘jazz rock’ or ‘jazz metal’ groups out there sound like cheesy ’80s fusion to me because the performers tend to be jazz musicians who are attempting to play loud and tricky material are not even remotely aware of the macro and micro strategies inherently applied in great metal and which make that music blast you in the face and punch your heart in total catharsis like the many nuances that the picking hand of a competent metal guitarist has which can turn a flat riff into a chainsaw or freight train not as styles per se but more so as an ethos so when the music requires a certain level of intensity and sonic insurrection that part of me is pleased to come out and burn it all down time to play some metal riffs now.’ I actually never think of this Domene moved to London and attended Middlesex University He recorded with Geoff Bartholomew’s avant-garde jazz ensemble BigRedYellowTruck and Big Sur a jazz metal trio with saxophonist Dan Mays and drummer Chris Packham But an album recorded back in Madrid in 2012 would put Domene on the map Gran Masa’s self-titled album captures the quartet — Domene on guitar and Michael Caratti on drums — melding free improvisation with an eclectic array of styles Gran Masa by GRAN MASA Gran Masa was also the first release on Domene and Caratti’s Iluso Records “After [the Gran Masa album] was done we contacted a huge list of labels and basically ended up deciding to release it ourselves through our own brand-new label given the mediocre nature of the offers that we got We put together a website and started working on the distribution and promotion of that release We are a very small label but have a loyal and supportive audience.” That supportive audience appreciates Iluso’s statement of purpose a simple question that helps guide its decisions the catalogue focuses on exploratory creative new music derived and informed mainly by the fertile traditions of jazz and electronic music,” Domene writes “Our process always starts with the question ‘Does this need to be out in the world?’ If we are in agreement One of those albums that needed to be out in the world proved to be Domene’s breakout. After moving to New York in 2015, Domene, in addition to numerous other pursuits that included teaching, worked with many heavyweights in the avant-garde jazz scene. In 2018, he released his debut solo guitar album, The Compass, recorded at Menegroth, The Thousand Caves with Colin Marston It’s a harrowing and yet strangely beautiful album in the same way that the awe-inducing hugeness and affecting humanness of György Ligeti or Krzysztof Penderecki’s works can be beautiful The Compass by Álvaro Domene Domene transforms his seven-string guitar into so many different shapes “EMS Of Despair” sounds like a bummed-out Fredrik Thordendal letting his amplifier howl at sunset in the middle of a wide-open dusty plain The weighty “Coulomb’s Barrier” is like if Allan Holdsworth hung out with Steeve Hurdle “Beta Particle” has a glitchiness that could be a noise artist tinkering with a SUMAC soundcheck it still has the bracing quality of something new It also cemented Domene’s solo approach “Part of my vision for this album was the application of certain serial composition techniques in real-time, which allow me to produce and generate a whole piece spontaneously,” Domene said in a 2018 interview with El Intruso that has been translated by Google “I practiced the process so much that when it came time to record I closed my eyes and didn’t open them until I felt like I had enough material It was the most organic album I’ve ever recorded to date All the sounds of the album were generated by me in real time and expanding every time I’ve made a new album but the same core process remains.” One element that has been refined and expanded is the aforementioned “emphasis on time linearity manipulation” detailed in Collisions and Contradictions’ liner notes Another vital component of Domene’s solo work is the “orchestral aspect,” “specifically the aim of perceived size impact and dimension of the music as you listen to it through speakers or live.” Domene continues: “I work really hard on crafting a sound that comes across as huge as it possibly can be while retaining crystalline detail making full use of the stereo field as much as possible aiming for three-dimensionality in my guitar sound by creatively using several types of delays which contribute to a listening experience through which the audience might distinguish the width movement and height of the guitar as if it was some kind of electric and synthetic orchestra.” Perhaps that multi-dimensionality is why The Compass was acclaimed earning plaudits from the press and fellow guitar virtuosos such as Ben Monder But why does Domene think that set struck a chord very few people had attempted to make that type of record at that level of consistency and focus among its moving parts I’m talking about a live and mostly loud atmospheric metal-sounding solo distorted guitar album containing the abstraction and risk-taking of free improvisation and noise plus the harmonic and rhythmic sensibilities of jazz and modern composition and a soundscape spontaneously established by the creative use of delays and live looping devices but they don’t sound nearly as monolithic Colin did a phenomenal job capturing it.” Marston and Domene would collaborate again in 2019 in Catatonic Effigy, a trio staffed by Domene on guitar, Marston on bass and synths, and Caratti on drums. The album, Putrid Tendency closes with the bruising “Putrid Destiny,” a 10-minute workout of lurching death sludge augmented by screaming solos would record the similarly metal-inclined Alloy the same year although it didn’t see a release until 2022 taking Catatonic Effigy’s free metal and doubling down on the freewheeling ferociousness When Sharp and Domene’s askew shredding collides the flying sparks ignite the top-notch rhythm section to improvise even more chaotic grooves Alloy by Phonon Domene kept his musical partnership active with Álvaro Pérez for works that hewed closer to modern jazz “We met in Madrid in 2011 right after I returned to Madrid from London where I had spent some years studying music,” Domene recalls “I knew I wanted to work with him the moment I heard him play at a gig where a mutual friend had brought me to meet him we set up a session to play and connected immediately it was evident that something special had happened in that room You probably know what I mean by this; it’s much more rare than people think and furthering that experience to the best of our abilities and possibilities.” unifying everything Domene and Pérez are doing right now with the jazz standards of the past “Besides being an extraordinary improviser and saxophonist,” Domene writes of Pérez which shapes his musical choices in very interesting ways and I am very fortunate to collaborate with him so often.” ZODOS by Álvaro Pérez & Álvaro Domene “Musical choices executed in interesting ways” is definitely one way to describe my first brush with Domene’s solo work I struggled to convey the power of that extraordinary record in a year-end wrap-up writing that it was “like someone scratched a KK Null CD.” Yeah I don’t think that pull quote is making it to the press sheet Not Arbitrary is The Compass but reshaped into total glitch miasma closer to Mille Plateaux’s roster remixed by Merzbow than anything an avant-garde-adverse listener would call a guitar album The accompanying PR copy on its Bandcamp page easily one-upped my feeble attempts at categorization calling it “AI Derek Bailey meets death metal machine guitar.” That still feels like an understatement “The ‘AI Derek Bailey meets death metal machine guitar’ was kind of a quick joke description that I sent as a text to my friend Ed Keller (who wrote the liner notes and has also designed some of our recent and most stunning album covers) when I talked to him about the record and it was a funny oversimplification though it makes sense so he added it to the liner notes,” Domene clarifies “I now would take back the AI aspect of it since there are technically no machine learning models there It was all done with a few guitar pedals.” NOT ARBITRARY by Álvaro Domene some mellow and ethereal soundscapes) and immediately after I was done with them I started hearing this dry and intense sound in complete aesthetic opposition to those records Extreme rhythmic and pitch angularity without sacrificing precision momentum manipulation and deliberate fracture and a process of robotifying my guitar sound were the ingredients that my subconscious mind put in the front of me as an itch that needed scratching Once I managed to get the sound the way I wanted it I recorded the album in one hour in my home studio sometime during the holiday break in December of 2021 No overdubs and very minimal editing took place Not Arbitrary scratches a lot of my itches I’ve listened to it tens of times because it’s like a key that unlocks a part of my soul that I don’t get to commune with often It’s so weird to write this about an album that others will hear as noise but the sheer fact that it exists makes me feel less alone Somewhere in this world that seems to prioritize separation and destruction of community resulting in an irrepressible loneliness wracking our brains and bodies that are starved for connection there’s someone out there making music that I can relate to with the wrinkles of my alienating idiosyncrasies growing ever deeper Contradictions contains one of those miracles “Extinguish The Blaze” closes the album with amplifier howls floating above abstract beats and any other small objects that I can find worth using I have been using a cello bow for over 10 years as I love string instruments and approximating that sonority on the electric guitar can yield really interesting results as a LOT of otherwise unused harmonics are produced that way,” Domene writes “It had been a while since I had used it on a record I heard myself humming what became the main melody of the piece I started singing it and asking myself which way would be the best for me to play that melody on the guitar and honor the haunting and melancholic atmosphere that it sets CONTRADICTIONS by Álvaro Domene The outcome is a song that feels like a response to the fatigue of modernity a scream from the depths of our psyche that spills out over the undulating but incessant forward passage of time It inspired me to ask Domene what motivates him to keep pushing the boundaries of music and whether any fatigue is involved with fostering that kind of creative restlessness as someone who has been battling depression and anxiety for over 20 years this music is the magic that keeps me alive “I don’t need motivation nor inspiration to continue making music as this is not only much more than what I love and I’ve trained my mind and body to do; but also I experience music as a constant presence and flow of ideas always in my mind whether it’s in the front as the main process with which I’m engaging or whether it is in the back of my conscious mind where my brain seems to continue problem-solving and coming up with new things to explore for me to transfer into sound and develop further.” What Domene wrote next is a sentiment that beats the heart of many music obsessives “The fact is that I do this work because I simply love it; it’s who I am I would suffer such a level of emotional dysregulation that it would likely end me.” Domene recognizes that some might read that as too dark and I’m musically self-indulgent but hate the idea of repeating myself; so once I document something in what I consider a satisfactory way I move on to the next project and rarely look back.” we soon touched on the precarious nature of being a creative in today’s culture “The real fatigue (besides actual physical fatigue that I still deal with thanks to Long Covid) and frustration that I experience comes due to the socio-economic pressures of being forced to exist in a ruthless capitalist nation-state that doesn’t value life how is music and the other arts then going to be valued I staunchly reject the notion that art is a mere market commodity and encourage everyone to reclaim its true purpose and help catalyze the necessary moral transformation of society as a whole.” And there’s the possibility of Domene and Caratti hosting shows and workshops in Australia next year there’s Domene’s body of work to explore a discography that is out on the edge of music existing in the harsh vacuum of the unknown 雪山白鳳凰 White Phoenix on Snow Mountain by DEEP MOUNTAINS In a 2019 interview with Last Rites the multi-instrumentalist Christian Kolf said of Owl his solo endeavor with frequent assistance from drummer Patrick Schroeder “I never wanted to repeat myself with this project.” It’s hard to imagine Kolf ever repeating himself in any of his artistic pursuits The bands Kolf has played in — Labyrinth Of Stars among many others — seem to drink deep from an inexhaustible well of creativity Owl has been particularly attuned to remodeling itself in the image of the player’s current set of interests and influences As an example, Ghosts Of Summer, Owl’s newest five-song EP, is somewhat similar to Owl’s 2023 singles “Cryptic Deities” and “Inversion Wave” in that Kolf is playing a version of death/doom that carves the monolithic chugs that could’ve found a home on early Cult of Luna releases into the mathy shapes of Meshuggah circa Nothing. Tech doom lives But Ghosts Of Summer is also much heavier than the Owl material that has come before (with the caveat that these tracks were written and recorded in the first half of 2021 so who can make heads or tails of the timeline?) Its ferocity reminds me of Labyrinth Of Stars Kolf’s cosmosh collaboration with Lantlôs and Dirk Stark 2022’s Spectrum Xenomorph is one of the many albums I regret not covering Ghosts Of Summer by Owl But that was back when the weather was warm and I wasn’t afflicted by Seasonal Affective Disorder in the frozen part of the calendar customarily reserved for the starkest/dorkiest black metal would Mean Mistreater similarly ensorcell me with their NWOTHM gusto turning any listening session into the fist-pumping freedom of a summer night And it pulls this transformative metal magick off by being itself which is precisely what singer Janiece Gonzalez told us a few months ago when I asked how Mean Mistreater set themselves apart from 50 years of heavy metal history “I really like this project ’cause we’re not really going into writing with any certain genre in mind,” Gonzalez said “After hearing our music back in the studio I feel like we’re just a really high-energy traditional/’80s metal band that leans a bit into punk It really reflects exactly what I love to listen to I don’t see it as super different per se but it’s definitely a unique reflection of what we all love in one package.” “Let ‘Em Roll” is that package The twin-guitar attack of Alex Wein and Quinten Lawson craft leads and riffs that flash like lightning and rumble like thunder Bassist Jon Gibson and drummer Joaquin Ridgell rip through muscular rhythms that have the horsepower of a hot rod belting out hooks with a power and grit that achieves that heavy metal ideal They’re not play-acting as a heavy metal entity Razor Wire by Mean Mistreater a hard-swinging doom cruncher that is the closest these two groovehounds have gotten to breaking five minutes In a genre where some bands can’t even finish a progression in five minutes It also demonstrates everything Asphalt is about: hitting you with killer riffs and then getting the hell out E.P. IV by Asphalt SHAME’s wretchedness builds up like a pressure cooker end up in a similarly tense territory to a band like Black Sheep Wall if they were more indebted to Public Castration Is A Good Idea-era Swans an impressive squall of howling amplifiers that makes good on Farrar and fellow guitarist Michael McDonald’s textural proof of concept rise to the high-level tension-teasing songwriting of noise rock pain merchants like KEN mode and Great Falls SHAME is one of the best albums I’ve heard this year that encapsulates what it feels like to deal with trauma and how its virulent knock-on effects — the guilt and shame — pervade every inch of your being with no relief In an excellent interview in Treble Zine by Jeff Terich that explores meth.’s “confrontational metal through honesty,” singer Seb Alvarez discussed SHAME’s lyrical concepts that I started writing the lyrics to SHAME when I was sober I have a lot of pent-up negative feelings about myself and…I have trouble addressing things in an open way I didn’t really know what to write about and I had tinkered with diving into different weird elements and on previous records I would deep dive into a topic and just kind of live in it It’s more that I wrote everything in a sober mindset and kind of went back after I wasn’t sober and kind of re-approached it the Sisyphean pursuit of trying to find yourself when you’re trapped within trauma’s chaos “Blackmail,” one of the more chaotic tracks of the bunch complete with a Pyrrhon-esque commitment to aural annihilation feels like trying to tread water during the Sturm und Drang of life’s low points is cathartic in the way that someone recognizing and empathizing with your pain can be freeing that catharsis feels more earned than a labored-over groove scientifically engineered to make one’s head nod SHAME by meth. The Berlin-based solo project Knights Of Rain, formerly Agnosis, has quietly released two demos and three EPs since 2021, culminating in a full-length, the witch’s garden stays hidden from dawn, last September that slipped past us and, presumably, lots of people. Now that the record is seeing a release on Fiadh Productions the label with a knack for unearthing underground works of black metal beauty our very flexible rules about what is eligible for inclusion in the column allow us to highlight the beautiful work The Witch's Garden Stays Hidden from Dawn by Knights of Rain The handful of well-worn metallic descriptors typically sprinkled into a blurb can’t summarize a song like “Revile Of Light.” Unrelenting the Tennessee grind/death metal quartet that recently expanded into a quintet with the addition of Pelagius’s Cameron Giarraputo on guitar “Unrelenting” isn’t wrong Take “Revile Of Light,” a track that is particularly intense — another word that feels like a cheap stand-in for the kind of onslaught that Knoll are now pursuing with its squelch-slinging riffs from guitarist Ryan Cook and bassist Lukas Quatermaine inferno-inducing blasts courtesy of drummer Jack Anderson and paint-peeling screeches from vocalist James Eubanks and a host of other ineffective words that could illustrate its power as well as the raised areas on a topographical globe represent a mountain range Listen to “Revile Of Light”‘s middle which features guitars swirling around a trumpet like a stormy sea swallowing a fishing boat that shouldn’t be out that far a dark ambient drone recorded in the space between life and whatever is next which might as well be those doomed sailors pulled under watching the moon’s light vanish as they sink toward their tomb All of that looks fine on the page but is quickly obliterated by the genuine article Even this-but-this band comparisons can’t approximate the sonic impact Vermin Womb teaching Thantifaxath to play fast Converge attempting to contact the elder gods in Portal by playing a necrotic take of Morricone’s “Death Theme” Lustmord opening up to a therapist about his anxieties Some of those comparisons kind of get you there a certified RIYL professional with a degree in FFO you also get why Knoll are playing off the archaic definition of its name and just settled on calling this stuff “funeral grind.” The point is that As Spoken isn’t an album that can be read And yet, As Spoken is kind of an album about words. In an interview with Mind Decay Productions Eubanks talked about “battling impermanence.” My read on the singer’s impromptu disquisition is that if your existence is your outward impact on the world and how it’s remembered then casting your words in the amber that is the eternalism of music is a way to allay the feeling that all of this is for naught because all of this will turn to dust But Knoll also poke at what happens when words are held onto with a too-reverent zeal for too long and how that shapes the present and future “Bygone matters of antiquity & those to be antiquated are preserved within the formless ghost of music unto time immemorial,” the band writes in the Bandcamp liner notes “We bring this ideal to you in its first manifestation As Spoken – a lecture of dilapidated language & its propensity to become riddled with sickness when kept.” That tension gives us lyrics like the two lines that kick off “Revile of Light”: “Elating negative inwith allwhere/ Vanishing wards aweigh with light.” That concentrated bit of Joycean verve is fittingly opaque and also sounds sick as hell when screamed at the top of one’s lungs if we’re getting back down to the philosophy of it all those lines are now also entered into the grand Googleable record as “Knoll lyrics.” Permanence achieved Anyway! I didn’t think I’d write that about a grind album today. As Spoken works on a lot of levels, many of which are hard to broach in the space of a blurb. Then again, isn’t that exactly what you want from an authentic artistic experience in 2024?

penalty corners to help Argentina become men’s Junior World Cup champions for the second time in their history beating Germany 4-2 in a superb competition final in Bhubaneswar Domene’s achievement was made more remarkable by the fact that Argentina won just three penalty corners in the entire match with the drag-flicker finishing with a 100 percent conversion rate as his team added a second men’s Junior World Cup title to the one claimed in Rotterdam in 2005 The result ended Germany’s quest for a seventh men’s Junior World Cup title and brought the curtain down on a superb competition at the

produced the most clinical of displays to overcome the six times champions with a perfect penalty corner conversion record and an outstanding performance from goalkeeper Nehuen Hernando proving vital Lautaro Domene netted penalty corner drag-flicks in each of the first two quarters leaving Germany with a mountain to climb in the remaining 30 minutes with Julius Heyner – earlier given a 10-minute yellow card suspension for a coming together with Argentina’s Joaquin Toscani – firing home from close range before Masi Phandt’s deflected penalty corner effort rocketed into the roof of Hernando’s goal with 13 minutes remaining Domene made it three penalty corner conversions from three attempts in the 50th minute before Hernando pulled off some astonishing saves to deny Germany another equaliser Argentina sealed their second men’s Junior World Cup title when Franco Agostini fired into an empty net in the final minute with Germany having replaced their goalkeeper with an outfield player in a final attempt to salvage the situation “We cannot explain our feelings in this moment” “It is difficult to know what we are thinking and we are very proud of this team.” Germany captain Hannes Muller said: “First of all congratulations to Argentina for their win I think the first half was not good for us The second half was a little bit better but At this moment it’s hard to understand that.” 3rd – 4th Place: India 1-3 FranceFrance captain Timothée Clément netted his fourth hat-trick in six matches at the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s Junior World Cup Bhubaneswar 2021 firing

to the playoffs for the first time since 2009 GM Jose Domene will have a lot to do with it Domene joined Chivas’ front office in December 2010 as interim GM He recently sat down with MLSsoccer.com to discuss player moves the team's stadium search and his goals for next season Domene: It's a decision that is both the club's and Juan Pablo's but we need to sit down when we stop training and we're going to see where he's at and where he fits here He did great things for the club and we would love to have him back but it's going to be a mutual decision It's not us forcing him to come back or him forcing us to not bring him back We just have to sit down and do what's best for Juan Pablo and what's best for Chivas It's not about money whether he stays or goes Domene: We are not only in the international market We're scouting and we want to bring in people because this is our first full offseason and we want to get a head start we've got the winter transfer window — the big window is in the summer — but you can take advantage right now of looking for players that may help you in their environment We've visited seven countries so far and seen two-dozen games already and we'll continue to do that until the leagues stop for the winter we'll bring in as much talent as possible and develop as much talent as possible because we have a good core to build a balanced and winning team next season Domene: Everybody said a lot about the allocation order but we're here for the long run and we're not going to pick someone that doesn't make sense just because we're number one It's not about just picking a guy because we have to pick one It's not just about bringing in the guy that's coming back So if it makes sense then we'll use the selection either this year or next year We're not going to bring in players for the sake of bringing players Domene:  The mood is that in order to finish a project you've got to let the project keep its route We were definitely disappointed because we didn't play as bad as our standings and points reflected but I think that we lost a lot of games because of small mistakes and we left a lot of points on the table We do understand that what we did was not enough because this is not what we want We want to make the playoffs and we're working hard towards making the playoffs We've got to work hard during the off-season to work on individual mistakes we need extra help in terms of bringing in new talent so that we can go to the next level have publicly admitted discussions with the team about a new stadium We haven't signed anything with any city it makes sense for us to have our own stadium We're going to move to some place that makes sense for the club and Chivas USA We have had conversations with those cities International

Guzman was the lone goal scorer for Mexico Domene was already in action sliding two close-range shots just wide of Oscar Copado’s goal Alexander Sandoval had a chance to get Mexico on the board but his penalty corner flick was fired past the Argentina post Before the end of the first quarter a well-worked play from Domene to Maico Casella gave Agustin Mazzilli the one-time blast to make it 3-0

quarter when Kevin Amador worked the ball well with Jorge Estrada but the blast was steered over the net by Santiago’s glove Mexico were able to break the shutout as Amador slid the ball left to Guzman whose low show beat Santiago to make it just 3-1 That would be the only taste of scoring Mexico would get though Domene showed his flicking expertise going stick-side and high to make 4-1 while Toscani tidied up a penalty corner to make it five goals for the Leones Domene and two from Nicolas della Torre pushed the final score to 10-1 “We started the game with some mistakes but we were able

scoring continued from there as Fernando Renz blasted in a world class goal upright Renz finished one more after a nice passing play that saw Axel Richter cut the field in half to find Franco Becerra

The project is all about the promise of the future When the railroads were built in the 19th century they were a symbol of a technologically progressive age succumbing to rust in the jungle and desert In 2012, they took a shorter trip through Ecuador, where railroads have also been privatized. Since their travels, the brothers have written a book about the experience and participated in multiple exhibitions. Their photos are on display at the Furtherfield Gallery in London, along with the SEFT-1 and documents and plans used on the journey. The artists also invited expert model railroaders to build replicas of the abandoned railways as they look now.
