The story behind
The first time Moris tried the sound of his twelve-string guitar in the studio, no one expected it would end up becoming a nearly eight-minute song. It was at TNT Studios, while Los Gatos were recording their single Madre escúchame, when he began improvising verses on the spot. According to what he later recounted, the lyrics flowed almost without planning, and the way the guitar resonated in the space left everyone in silence. The owner of the place, impressed, handed him the tape recorded that very night for him to use as he wished. Thus, what started as a spontaneous moment ended up becoming the closing track of side A of his first album, Treinta Minutos de Vida, and the only song on the album that exceeded seven minutes.
The final version on the album lasts seven minutes and forty-six seconds, though Moris used to extend it in live performances by playing over the middle section. The album was released in 1970 under the Mandioca label, produced by Jorge Álvarez and Pedro Pujó, but the original recordings had been made between 1967 and 1968, with mixes completed the following year. Decades later, in the 2000s, Rolling Stone Argentina ranked Treinta Minutos de Vida among the ten best albums of national rock, though its position dropped a couple of places by 2013. What remains clear is that, back then, no one was trying to make a perfect album: they sought to capture the moment, and in De nada sirve, that moment was preserved.
