I love to be part of the jury of the prize YCN Awards, since it allows me to reach a lot of stuff i didn´t know about from all over the world and to flip over :) Thanks to Nick Defty for being so proactive on the creative scene of London and having a great agency i love to work with.

algo está pasando

algo que hacía mucho que no me despertaba las ganas de sentarme en el ordenador y componer notas. musik notes. con la computer. algo está pasando. empieza un nuevo ciclo que me lleva al inicio. a algo muy puro. las piezas se colocan en el tablero. muchas ganas de trabajar con músicos y productores de münchen. estar hasta long hours en la madrugada con beats. y palabros. phantastich. music: sylvan esso. coffee. el alma canta, se expande. feliz comienzo de verano.

zen retreat in the alps

Before i flew to London, and looking for a way of creating some space in the mind,  I took a break of everything to go to the mountains to do a zen meditation retreat.
I had the chance after quite a few months of a lot in the mind, to recover, meditate, sleep a lot, take walks in nature, write,  read and eat. It felt a bit like being a baby again.  The retreat , called Sesshin in Zen, is a way of coming in touch with yourself and you must keep the silence during a few days, and do about 13 sittings of 25 minutes to meditate daily. The rest of the day, is used in sleeping, walks around the nature and eat, and do nothing. The place where the convent was is one of the most beautiful spots ive been in my whole life. I was very lucky that my zen teacher Gudrun Alt allowed me to have the room that got free after somebody had called her saying he couldnt make it since he was sick. I guess it is what you can call destiny that i had to be there. Was an extraordinary experience. 

working in london with volta

somehow life keeps on taking me to london, which is a city i adore for the energy and bulliciosa creatividad. me inspira mucho, and this time, since we had the opening of visual diaries exhibition there, allowed me to spend a few days staying at my friend´s chechu in rushmore street, a hackney area that has changed quite a bit, near chatsworth road, a very sustainable hackney corner, very volta_vibe. some of the stories i will be working on the next days: triangle shop , nanas cafe, the deli from downstairs -at victoria park, also a beautiful corner- and a few others. so much to do, so little time!
