So, i am Alejandro a.k.a. _MARKUS_ im a regular (??) colombian guy. I just moved back to New York from Bogota, i pretty much into music, I love to play bass, i being playing for about seven years, i know i still suck, but i never thought that it was about virtuosism, it is about feeling and love, so this is one of the most importants parts of my life, i have been playing with the colombian Melodic Death Metal band GARDEN OF GRIEF for the last seven years, and recently i joined my forces into NOSTROM, a new Industrial/Death/Thrash act established in NYC by 4 colombian souls, so stay attent soon you'll listen to the stuff that we are making now.
I gratuated as a Computer Systems Engineer in 2006 from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, this is one of my biggest achievements, but its just the first step in all the things i have planned to do in my life.
This stage of my life if full of big changes, im starting a new life, leaving behind things and persons so beloved to me, but this is life, you have to sacrifice things to get what you want, and to keep your peace of mind, it is just a learning experience, stuff that I have to go through and that is making me stronger everyday. Changes changes lots of changes, i am not as "trascendentalist" as it looks above, so dont worry!, i'm pretty much a city guy, i've always lived in a big city, yes! Bogota is such a big city, so being in NYC makes me feel so comfortable. I work 9-6 (??) but is not the regular office job, i have met great people in my job, and i really have good times in it. About the music, hmmmm now i have more time to play my Bass i have gotten some new equipment and working into improving my technique and getting the desired sound... is almost there....
Soon you'll listen to some stuff that Nostrom is working on, im totally sure everybody is gonna like, it doesnt matter if you are into metal or not, you are gonna be moving your body and banging your head.... Im so glad of this process, working with such as talented musicians is being so important to me, but more important is finding true friendship in all of them, you know guys i love you and i love being part of Nostrom....
