INFO

Inclusions finishes a journey started with my first album—Detached. Traveling from edgy industrial electronics and crunchy vocal treatments to ethereal pads, dance beats, guitars, computerized vocals, strings, harps, and brass as the album finishes on a lofty blue note.

Inclusions and Detached were intended to be a two disc album of light and dark duality. The two albums have been separated by time and various projects, until now.

Like inclusions in a gemstone, Inclusions is a tribute to all the hidden wonders in life that often go overlooked.

The songs of Inclusions and its companion album Detached were written between 1994 and 1999. They document my trials and tribulations, relationships, amazing adventures and journey from youth into adulthood. Each song remains true to its time and heart.

I was fortunate enough to assemble some old friends and talented musicians to produce this album. It was an amazing journey into the past and an excellent beginning to a new chapter of music making.

I love everything about music, I hope this album makes that note loud and clear.

“All my years I was saying that the music is the most important force of the Universe and its generator. The extraordinary thing is that the primitive man, having to face all the difficulties of survival, at the same time he found the time to create the first instruments. Therefore, a stretched skin became a drum, few holes in a bamboo became a flute and few tied strings became a harp and so on. I don’t consider that as a luxury for these people but as a basic need. That is something that continues until our days.”
