about

English: The idea behind this movement is that the music is adapting the characteristics of an “ancient hunter” (title translated into english). I try to portray those primal, reptilian brain aspects of our identity as modern day human beings. Our ancestors had no choice but to hunt. And we ourselves are (no matter we try to convince ourselves otherwise) still easy prey for other predators. When one takes the human being out of the natural world, from the forests and jungles to metropolises and financial districts, there we get a fabricated, money driven prey/predator paradigm. And I don’t think it’s pretty, but it’s the reality of our society.

Español: En este movimiento, la música adopta las características de un cazador antiguo. Intento retratar esos aspectos primordiales "reptilianos" del cerebro de nuestra identidad como seres humanos modernos. Para nuestros antepasados la caza no fue una opción sino una necesidad y nosotros mismos (aunque no queramos entenderlo) somos una presa fácil para otros depredadores. Cuando uno saca al ser humano del mundo natural, los bosques y las selvas, a las actuales metrópolis y distritos financieros, nos encontramos en presencia de un paradigma entre "presa" / "depredador" fabricado por el dinero. No creo que sea bonito, pero es la realidad de nuestra sociedad.
