About Me

Artist, music producer, film producer, artist manager...humanitarian, shaman, energitician...there are so many labels people can put on me, but really i'd say i'm human...perhaps multi-dimensional, but i just think it's active. I like being active with purpose, and i think music defines that, action in motion with purpose.I currently live between Europe brussels and new york. I'm working hard on getting myself back to Euskadi - or commonly known as the basque country - in the pyrenean mountains to build a first ever shamanic recording studio which would have architectural acoustics that work with PHI or the golden number and the resonance of several instruments to amplify naturally the harmonics of that instrument. For example, the human voice has characteristics...and natural overtones and harmonics...what would be the proper material, proportions and shape of a room designed for a soprano singer for example, or for the cello etc.. long term project. For now, i compose music and art (mostly paintings & Installations), produce, and manage artists, and try to help the Environment & indigenous groups to bring back education of traditional knowledge into our lives again and continue our diverse cultural heritage. http://www.vurse.com http://www.vthseason.org http://www.manexibar.com http://www.artintoaction.org

My Interests

life...all of its mysteries, its diversity, it's unexpectedness, its magic... Magic, Women, Fables, natural healing, psychics and healers, shamanism, the deep jungle, the top of mountains, sunsets, sunrises, the moon, skinny dipping in the wilderness amongst the river and lake creatures, merlin, being athletic, music music music...hypnosis, past lives, secrets, and the unknown. a perfect melody tied to a good heart felt rhythm making harmony with the all.

I'd like to meet:

can you laugh out loud without a worry, can you travel at the drop of a thought, can you go beyond your fears, are you interested in the world, in life, in culture, can you handle the light within, are you compassionate and a lover, are you a fool for wonderful places, are you a mutt or a cocktail (a mix of cultures)...then we shall meet.

Music:

all of it... really! depends on the mood, there's so much...from polytonic to polyrythmic, from ambient to trance, rock-n-roll to natural sounds...hip-hop to throat singing.

Movies:

bleu, blanc, rouge, la double vie de veronique, eternal sunshine, the good, the bad and the ugly, modern times, lord of the rings, baraka etc...

Television:

TV programming is so disapointing -...and i really don't watch it. fox and its news is a bunch of manipulating narcistic bastards, CNN can't be trusted, and all the shows are diluted by producers to make the average understanding... so what do i like if any: simpsons, charlie rose, six feet under, biography, nature shows, and then some series like 24, taken, Prison break etc. etc...

Books:

the cosmic serpent, the alchemist, le petit prince, fountainhead, Brave new world, animal speak, art&physics...the further education of oversoul seven, le livre jaune, and my whole library :)

Heroes:

DaVinci, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Chaplin, Howard (main character in fountain head),John Milton, Jill Leigh, Roger Waters, Tenzin Rangyal Rinpoche, Christine Pequenard-Ibar, Jea-pierre Ibar, Baptiste, OOna, Maia, Linda, sami, my friends and Nina Rosas.
