I have always looked up at the night sky with a sense of reverence. I know I am not alone. I happen to know a few others who share this feeling and I imagine there are a great many more. Undoubtedly, our fellow humans from civilizations long gone were fascinated by the countless dots of light twinkling in the night sky. Perhaps every person who contemplated the stars back then had questions of varying degrees of depth, but among them there were those who possessed answers. They were the astronomers—those who studied and recorded the celestial cycles. Continue reading “the grand cross in the heavens” »

For those who believe their present is ruled by their past; for those who believe love is beyond their reach and that there is no one who can love and accept them as they are; for those I write these words with the hope that they too will defy that which I once believed.

You are my light; you have renewed my being and my life. Just as the stars that shine and overcome the darkness with their luminescence, you too shine and fill my life with light as no one before has even done. Because I love you and because you inspire me, I have written piano music for you: a Nocturne in B Flat Minor; in it I have placed my body and my soul for you.

The rain falls softly as I listen to the music of one of my favorite composers, Evangelios Odiseas Papathanassiou, better known as Vangelis. It’s a beautiful piece entitled Rachel’s Song from the soundtrack to Blade Runner, a film that debuted in 1982 with Harrison Ford in the leading role. Nowadays, it’s still a futuristic film that takes us to the city of Los Angeles in the year 2019.

Perhaps we will never be able to predict the future, but there have always been those who possess a vision so great that it would seem they could do just that. Today, one such person, a visionary, stepped into the afterlife—Steve Jobs. Continue reading “goodbye to steve jobs” »

Today I shall write to you in gray ink, because the sky is gray. I like cloudy days in autumn. It is as if though the Earth were preparing itself for the long slumber that will come after the winter solstice. These days are somewhat nostalgic and I feel as if though I recalled something very distant—like a past life. I will dedicate this piece, entitled Viento, to you, “father in rejoicing”, so that, when you find yourself standing before the sea on a day such as this, you will feel the soft caress of the wind upon your face and perhaps remember me and know that, somehow, I am always with you.

On May 26th in Tijuana the premiere of the web series El Porvenir will take place. At 7:00 pm we will be at Cinemex waiting to share seven episodes of the web series with our loyal followers. There will be four showing in four theaters on this occasion.

I’ve always admired film music composers such as John Williams, Vangelis, James Horner, and Hans Zimmer. As an artist who has always aspired to take part in a cinematographic project, this premiere is a very significant event and marks my official debut into the world of film composers. It’s having made this dream a reality that is truly exciting. It has been a great honor and a pleasure to work with side by side with all the members of the El Vigilante Studios team.

I hope you will be able to join us on May 26th at Cinemex. For those unable to make it, remember that the web series El Porvenir will be available for viewing as of May 30th for free via our website, elporvenirlaserie.com.
