In 2005 he releases his first EP called "Piedra de Fuego" (Flame Stone), containing 4 instrumental tracks. The EP shows his clasical influences, as well as his conection to heavy metal and progresive rock. For this first EP, everything was recorded by Andres except for Drums, which were recorded by Sander Bermudez.
Andres names this project Sigma and is joined by Leonardo Cruz, Sander Bermudez, and Paulo Cuevas , taking things one step further. In year 2006, Sigma release they're EP Silver Tears, showing a more melodic aproach to music. They are invited to play in some of the best festivals in Colombia with some of the best national bands.
In year 2007 they play the opening act for Symphony X at "Palacio de los deportes" having great acceptance in the progresive rock and metal scenes. They are chosen as the only progresive band to play in the biggest rock festival of South America "Rock al Parque" for this year.
For Rock al Parque Sigma release Silver Tears Live, first live instrumental rock album in Colombia, with material from different concerts throughout 2007.
