Welcome 03:54
OLD RADIO VOICE: “…The actual details of the story did not come to me for some time, until one day I saw a little boy - perhaps ten years old - driving a huge cart-horse along a narrow path, whipping it whenever it tried to turn. It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat.” “One publisher decided to consult the Ministry of Information, who appear to have warned him, or at any rate strongly advised him, against publishing it. He wrote: “The fable does follow so completely the progress of the Russian Soviets and their two dictators, that it can apply only to Russia. It would be less offensive if the predominant cast in the fable were not pigs!” George Orwell, PRE FA CE TO ‘ANI M AL FARM’ Floating down, the sound is loud Nothing seems to move around The pigs have flown, the grass is grown And now you're lonely on your own You pick the place, I'll choose the time Flickering between this rhymes You don't care to be on time And I don't know the reason why You find the words to say goodbye Laughter echoes in your eyes And something's creeping up my spine And nothing moves under the sky Me and you After all we've got to do I wish there was something I could say or do All alone, in my blue I left and went away And I've never heard you say: - I love you – In the sunshine To keep good love from going wrong The sea was smiling and we… It's not so fair to deny me… Me…

I seem to have loved you in Numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. (From RABINDRANATH TAGORE, "Unending Love")

Forever 04:54
Small is the gate And narrow is the way Ask to me, I'll give to you What can I say? You'll find what you'll seek But, please, don't feel weak Listen to me speak And fall asleep The rain is coming down And the wind is all around The stream rose And the wind blows And beats on my house Don't be afraid I'll come to your aid Don't be afraid Long ago and far away, Thousand and thousand miles away In that land you'll born again Can't you see? It's in your brain! Heaven will lend out his hand Take you into that white sand Bring your spirit to its end And you'll have your flesh again In life after life, In age after age, ...Forever. In life after life, In age after age, ...Forever. The rain is coming down And the wind is all around The stream rose And the wind blows And beats on my house Don't be afraid I'll come to your aid Don't be afraid In life after life, In age after age, ...Forever. In life after life, In age after age, ...Forever.

4 Lines 04:47
Four lines I'm writing now And I can't find my soul in it Four beats are beating my loop And I can't find my soul in it So where can I find my soul? Two stars glowing in the sky And I can't find my soul in it Two lights warming in the night And I can't find my soul in it So where can I find my soul? Two suns shining in the sky And I can't find my soul in it Two suns burning in the sky And I can't find my soul in it So where can I find my soul? I'm gonna running... Running down to you I'm going down and I'm slightly going down Looking for your arms around I'm down on the ground You gave me love and Hold me so tight You were the fire of a rainy night You loved me and your love was so right You are my angel, so come home tonight So where can I find my soul? I'm gonna running... Running down to you Down to you One love burning in my heart And that's where I can find my soul My only love is burning in my heart And that's where I can find my soul So where can I find my soul? I'm gonna running... Running down to you - Key solo – Running down to you Running down to you Running down to you Running down to you Running down to you Running down to you Running down to you Running down to you So where can I find my soul? I'm gonna running... Running down to you One love burning in my heart And that's where I can find my soul My only love is burning in my heart And that's where I can find my soul

Black Saturn 03:48
Here's another song from my heart Listen to the voice of its melancholy Bringing back memories of broken paths Too many things left behind And I'm falling, falling Slipping away Turning lead into gold Tripping to the underworld of consciousness Black Saturns A fallen angel trying to spread his wing And fly away I miss what it never happened Here's another beat from my heart Listen to the mood of its insanity Bringing back memories of broken paths Too many things left behind And I'm falling, falling Slipping away Turning lead into gold Tripping to the underworld of consciousness Black Saturns A fallen angel trying to spread his wing And fly away I miss what it never happened

about

"Welcome" is an album that draws on the classic sounds of Pink Floyd; following their road, I tried to give shape to some of my compositions using their style. I have always loved Pink Floyd and so it was natural to approach my music using arrangements inspired by their suggestions. For the realization, I used vintage instruments with the same characteristics as the original ones in order to obtain timbral faithfulness, but I also tried to imagine how such atmospheres would sound combined with new materials. "Neither styles, nor works, nor individuals discover their authentic core grinding a bark of stylistic survivals, of inveterate uses, of social mimicry.

«Style is built on a previous style. The work is processed through the works that it imitates. The individual becomes person thanks to the influences that he absorbs. Authenticity is not the simple expression of nature, but the conquest of meaning.»

- Nicolás Gómez Dávila -
Writer, philosopher and Colombian aphorist
