It was 14 years since I quit playing in bands. For these 14 years I´ve been doing a lot of photography/3D and photoshopping. But I never quit playing. It was just that the computer was my partner. But this year I started to play with other musicians again and I discovered how damn fun and good for the creative mind it is. Why the hell did I quit???

Well I guess it has a to do with a lot of stuff. I changed my life a lot in that period. I grew up )) good thing when you´re 30 and started to think about career and stuff. I can´t say that I regret that I took a break but why did it have to be so long??? LOL

Anyway, forming some kind of band again and I have so much fun. Video of our first rehearsal is here:

Sound sucks thru the small cam, but it´s evidence of the first jam

I just came back from Northern Italy and it was a fantastic journey through dramatic landscapes and beautyful cities. We went to see all the big lakes like Lago de Garda, Como and so on and also took a trip to Venice. Right now there´s so many impressions going through my head that it makes me dizzy.

Some photos from this trip here:

I´ve also been on a trip to Norway and have another ton of photos to sort out... But that will have to wait cuz tomorrow vacation is over and I´m back to reality.

In a perfect World I would have time for art,photo and music but there´s never enough time so right now I focus on music. Recording a lot of new stuff and finishing older songs. Uploaded a new version of "In To The Fire" on my My Space today. This version features guitars by Hector Carcedo from Barcelona in Spain. Hopefully finish some more songs soon with guitarwork from other musicians.
Also uploaded an oldie called "Darkness Returns"
