across the desert, behind the mountains...

About Me


José Luis, the only member of this music project started it based in the idea of mixing different music genres. From metal to pop, from minimal to latin, from industrial to world music, from classical to reggae.
Music is very extended and rich, is made for everyone, for listen on different situations, moods and places, so if there is a whole world full of music, as a musician he just plays it without any compromise to belong to any label, genre or specific concept.
The name of the project is taken from the Carlos Castaneda..s books. The gift of vision is a state of mind, soul and body. the main character, a native mexican shaman named: Don Juan, teaches it to Castaneda, it does not improve or get worse his life, is just a way, a way where nothing matters, all we are is just momentary human beings in this world.
So if nothing matters... let's enjoy the way with music.
José Luis, el único miembro de éste proyecto comenzó con la idea de mezclar todos los tipos de música que a él le gusta: del metal al pop, del minimal a ritmos latinos, del industrial a la múcsica clásica, del reggae al world music.
La música es muy rica y extensa, es para todos, para escucharse en diferentes lugares, estados de ánimo y situaciones, así que si existe un mundo lleno de música, como músico sólo hay que tocarla sin ningún compromiso de pertenecer a alguna corriente, concepto o género específico.
El nombre del proyecto está tomado de los libros de Carlos Castaneda, el don de la visión es un estado de cuerpo mente y alma. El personaje principal, un Chamán llamado Don Juán, lo enseña a Castaneda, ésto no mejora o empeora su vida, es sólo un camino, un camino donde nada importa, sólo sómos seres momentaneos en éste mundo
Así que si nada importa... disfrutemos ese camino con música.
