Not always what we want can be achieved. It depends very much on variables that can facilitate or condition the facts of life.
One thing is certain, no matter what fate holds us, it is an incredible journey.
The truth is that the universe has ways of balancing itself and what it takes also gives.
This is my new sound. A danceable commercial sound. I hope you enjoy it.

Medusa
This is not a new approach but rather a return to my creative origins, with a more predominate chillout and electronic vibe instead of a more classic dance house style.
I’ve taken the liberty to inspire myself on artists like AIR and Massive Attack maintaining an originality and signature that relates to my oldest creations. This music is not meant to catch your attention but only to set a mood, if possible to take you on a journey of thoughts and feelings.

MyTV - A LOOK TO THE PAST
MyTV is
my latest creation and like my previous production, “The Moon Lover” this track
follows on a simple construction dynamic.
This understated
simplicity is by no mean a negative factor, by the contrary, I believe that
this brings the music to an all new level.
MyTV samples
were built on top of a cool bass riff. In fact the bass can be heard throughout
the entire track and serves has the main vibe to it.
This
music is more of an experience and also a look back to my older creations when
I was into a more chillout, alternative sound.
Hope you enjoy,

Beauty is only Skin Deep
Skin Deep is my new track. This electronic house music was made without any kind of prejudice or self-assertion. Instead I just wanted to create something that differentiated from my latest productions.
The result was a music that although simple in its form still manages to stand out has one that can make my feelings arouse.
The track is divided in three parts, it start with a simple melodic bass that can be found throughout the entire track. In the second part the music develops in a progressive structure to a more classic house deep vibe with repetitive garage type sounds, when it reaches the third and final part both styles are combine into one culminating in a mixture that defines the groove of Skin Deep.
There is a kind of confident and forceful expression buried deep in this track that expresses my deepest feelings, views on the world of music, see if you can find them…

Moving Souls
"Moving Soul" is a deep cinematic house music that has a similar vibe to my previous production "act_good", although using a less conventional beat and a slower tempo.
In this track I’ve decide to experiment with some new techniques in order to create a more original music.
The minimal unconventional beat uses some voice elements has percussion tools, this gives some originality and also helps in create its unique personality.

The rest of the samples like basslines, synth and effects were pasted with the intention of creating a wave of mix sounds that gradually grow and carry the music to the next level.
The intention was to create a deep, moody, cinematic track that could touch the listener at some different levels. I believe that this goal was achieved and "Moving Soul" is a deep original House music.
Hope you enjoy,

Repetition and admeasurement
“act_good”, is a deep, moody and cinematic house music that came to my mind as an act of rebellion in an attempt to free myself from the prejudices of house music.
This is a story of a man that every day walks in to the subway hoping that it takes him to a different place this time.
He is tired of walking in no direction, with the purpose of nothing, and the goal of continuing in repetition and admeasurement.

He reaches the end of the track and finds Himself lost in the standardization of life, performing the same moves over and over in a autism pattern that He cannot escape.

Out of the anonymity
“Freedom of Speech” is an old production that I created back in 2012, this track only now, 2 years after its creation, reaches out from the anonymity. The reason is simple, in that time I really didn’t think it had the material or vibe that I would like to be associated to “The Halfgame” image.
“Freedom of Speech” was mostly an experiment associated to a season mood. I just wanted to play with some new music techniques that I had just learn and was exited to see how it would sound in a more underground platform.
The almost 10 minute length that is this track makes it one of my longest productions ever, but that doesn’t seem to retract it from being a very immersive and interesting music. By the contrary it makes it more special and mysterious.
With a political vibe, winch was not intended, this music really stands out from all my other productions, not only because of its originality but also because of the deep grove that resonates throughout the entire track.

Goodbye to enter the dense rain
“goodbye” is my latest music production. This track was created in a weekend were the sun struggle to enter the dense rain. Because of that “goodbye” tends to sound a bit depressive and melancholic, but that is not all bad.
Divided in 3 parts this music starts with a simple beat complemented by a strong distorted bass riff. The harmonic pad that is heard was used to give body to the music and also create a dreamy feel.

The lead sound on this part is the spacey synth that really gives this music its distinct personality.
The second part starts at the music break and was created using some sax riffs, winch although similar in melodies helps break the music monotony.
The third and last part again uses the same spacey synth riff from the first part and is complemented with some percussion and guitar twists.

Diverting a little bit from my latest productions winch were mainly house inspired, “goodbye” is a more chill out and cinematic track. I really enjoyed all the creative process involving this music and I couldn’t be happier with the final result.
Hope You enjoy,

Menthol, not the drug!
Menthol relies heavily on repetitive harmonic syths, winch are used throughout the entire track and really are the main vibe of the track.
The repetitive grove is complemented by a simple funky bass and a strong beat that sets the rhythm and helps give the music some substance and body.
The music is then embellished by some soothing sounds that are used to contrast with its repetitiveness. The pads and flute instruments used help break the monotony and also gives my personal touch to the music, a kind of jazzy vibe that I so much love.

Bland Noise pleasantly gentle
At the same time this music can be either irritating or stimulating exhibiting no personal worry, embarrassment, or concern. Having little or no distinctive flavor. This track is somehow pleasantly gentle.
I’ve created this music in 2012, don’t remember exactly the date. My first impression when I finished producing “Bland Noise” was of surprise. The track was, in my opinion, very good and I couldn’t stop listening to her.
But as time went by I’ve started to become annoyed by the sounds that come out of her and before I realize I started do dislike the music.
In August 2013, almost by accident, I stumble in a small group of unfinished music’s and found, lost between them, “Bland Noise”.
Again that “surprise feel” hit me. This music was again pleasant to ear; it was even better, because now I was listening in a very pure a genuine way, as if I was listening for the first time. The small sounds and nuances were now more noticeable as if “Bland Noise” had been created by a different person entirely.
I wish I could listen to all of my music’s after a memory loss accident so I could purely appreciate and criticize as You can.

Arise in a raining day
Today is raining again, is it me or my temperament somehow controls the weather?
Having nothing better to do I decided to make some music. So with that in mind and with the sound of rain in the background, together with my inspiration I started randomly to construct, with an unwilling desire, the music Arise.
At the beginning I didn’t have a clear idea of what sound was I really searching and honestly I wasn’t too worried about that or with the final result.
It’s not the first time that my boredom diverts me from my goal causing me to disperse and depart from my initial purpose. Most of the times that absent-mindedness is responsible for planting a frustrating sentiment causing me to abandon my unfinished work.
In this case that same frustrating sentiment was responsible for the creation of Arise. As the rainy boredom took hold of my mind I was compelled to experiment and wander through the music samples pasting them in an uncommitted way. Although there’s a random vibe to Arise, I believe that the final product came out pretty good. This track represents a mood a feeling and as I listen to her I almost can hear the rain in the back of my head.

This will is my last production of 2012. Goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
This chillout music was intended to be an experiment but a as time went along I've discovered that there was more to it.
This track turnout to be very emotional and cinematic and instantly became one of my favorites.
Hope You enjoy.

Discovered in Order to Appreciate
“Electronics” relies on a more comfortable sound with happy soft tunes, there’s also a jazz vibe that nestles the music and really gives it a strong personality.
The most important instruments in this production are obviously the piano and saxophone that are for most part the primary sounds of this track. Nevertheless there are two others that also stand out. The first is an off tone synth sample that persists throughout most of the track and is used to disrupt the clean vibe of the track. The other is a two voice samples that give this music a very unique and unconventional groove.
In summary this track although simple is full of small details that must be discovered in order to appreciate the music to its fullest.
One instrument however stands out from the rest of the track winch is used as a lead sound halfway into the music in order to break the monotone vibe and give it a twist. This instrument is the flute, a very simple melody that has a big impact and really changes the music groove.
Similarly to “Electronics”, “For the Love of God” is also full of small details that must be discovered in order to appreciate the music to its fullest.

The random desert - a movie buff life
Not long ago I’ve revisited one that really made a mark on my movie buff life, the name of that cinema masterpiece was “Lost Highway”.
This 1996 American psychological thriller written and directed by David Lynch had, in addition to its thoroughly surreal plot and characters, one of the most diverse and inspiring soundtracks ever.
As I watched “Lost Highway”, all the movie sounds and music that were kept deeply buried in my mind emerged and persisted in a stubborn wish to hum the hypnotic melodies that remained after the credits roll. “The random desert” is a reflection of the emotions translated to sound as I process all the information gathered throughout the visioning of the David Lynch disturbing, magical and unique work. There’s obviously a cinematic vibe cradling this music winch gives it a really unique vibe and sets it apart from all the other creations I’ve done so far.
Hope You enjoy.

Colered times...
This music has an Electronic rock vibe to it mixed together with some small house nuances.
There was a major artistic influence on the production of this track, these influence remotes to the memories back in 2002. “You all look the same to me” was the title of the third studio album of the amazing band ARCHIVE and one track really stand out from this outstanding album.
The name of this music was “Again”, this 16:19 minutes song was simply a work of art, the vocals, the guitar sounds, the bass, piano and strings, all sounds were perfectly tuned and symbiotically connected making this track one of the most immersive and pleasing to listen.
This song made me buy the album without even knowing the band or their work, I know now that this was the correct decision and a life changing one.
“Colors” was inspired in the sensations felt when listening for the first time to ARCHIVE, the sensation of listening to a sound that at the same time sounded familiar but was so different from all the stuff I’ve heard before.
I know it sounds confusing but that was exactly how I felt when I listen to “Again” for the first time, possibly because of the massive amount of information which my little musician brain had to absorb.
There´s a kind of sadness in “Colors” winch was not originally my intention but as the music evolved that vibe transformed the music personality and made it to become in what it is now.
“Colors” is a electronic rock kind of music that borrows a lot of ideas from memories and feelings from the old days when music didn’t had to follow the commercial and tendency rules, were the experimenting was encouraged and were the freedom of music art creation was accepted by all.
I miss those times, nevertheless here is “Colors”.
Hope You enjoy,
