I Wish…

I wish you the courage to be warm when

the world would prefer that you be cool.

I wish you success sufficient to your needs;

I wish you failure to temper that success.

I wish you joy in all your days; I wish you

sadness so that you may better measure

that joy.

I wish you gladness to overbalance grief.

I wish you humor and a twinkle in the eye.

I wish you glory and the strength to bear

its burdens.

I wish you sunshine on your path and

storms to season your journey.

I wish you peace in the world in which

you live and in the smallest corner of the

heart where truth is kept.

I wish you faith to help define your living

and your life.

More I cannot wish you, except perhaps

LOVE , to make all the rest worthwhile…

As we all know…Haiti is confronting a very difficult situation after the earthquake that caused a massive destruction and killed more than 200,000 people and an estimated of 300,000 people were injured and an estimated of  1,000,000 are homeless.

Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which hampered rescue and aid efforts; confusion over who was in charge, air traffic congestion, and problems with prioritization of flights further complicated early relief work.

25 years ago producer Quincy Jones gathered with some of the more talented artists by the time and created the song “We Are The World” to help Africa.

Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) “We Are The World 25 For Haiti”, in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.

Together we can make the difference…please donate whatever you can, anything helps!

Haiti needs us and this is the time to show them that “we are the world for them…

Imagination unveils thoughts of colors and shapes, how do we paint our present and future? how can we feel alive if we don’t imagine a better world?…we still believe in the age of the innocence because there’s always something bigger than us…that immense force that give us that connection beyond understanding…the ice is melting and the sun is coming up for more…and more, asking more of our consciousness…I’m diving in my celebration of my own mind and the expansion of a new world…

There’s is this kid looking for attention, and waiting for the sun to shine on his face…he had a melody on his head and he is composing a piece of art combining sounds and patterns inside his body, and he wonders, How can I diffuse the structure of my thinking on a clear way so people can dive into my consciousness?

I need to celebrate my commitment for you…

There’s nothing else I can do…

I do this for you…

I do this to feel free…

I do this because I love you…

Sometimes I feel that I need certain material things to feel complete and I guess that happens to all of us … I think we should try to liberate our mind from that belief and embrace the fact that we are breathing and being alive and to know that finding our true purpose is a responsibility that we carry in our lives…

When I am in this process of creation and writing songs I feel totally connected to the “source” (GOD) and it gives me the sensation of freedom from this fantasy…. Then I feel some kind of instant peace… Now and then I practice an exercise to clear my mind and think that some of the best things in life are for free… right?

My gift for you is writing music and connect through this beautiful art…
what’s yours to the humanity? to the universe?

I’m always interested in reviewing new albums from the artists that influence my music so much…although you can hear my music very different form my influences there’s always a pattern or element swimming in my head at the time of my compositions that defines the direction of the song I like to make.

In this case I admire this artist form New York City, the one that got into this dance scene as a DJ spinning in some clubs of this great city and creating a career in music like a few artists can built…

I describe this album as a very sublime combination of melodic elements encompassing a true understanding of beauty…it brings you to an state of contemplation and devotion to something you feel as true.

That’s my journey when I travel through this songs, they really touch me in some way or another. In my opinion, MOBY has done it again and has achieved this touch of simplicity in beauty that I’ve been waiting for in a long time, maybe because it is the kind of melancholic sound I like so much.

There has been two albums that have changed my perception of the music creation process, one of them is “IN RAINBOWS” by RADIOHEAD and “WAIT FOR ME” by MOBY. They have opened my vision of atmospheric voyages into the basics of songwriting, artists that connect to the invisible intelligence and have brought a pure sense of sincerity in their songwriting.

I’d like to share a video for the song “Pale Horses” I know you’ll find this interesting…

Thank you
