This album is a fusion of Electronica, Rock and Venezuelan native percussion with a light Progressive & Psychedelic Rock foundation, you will also find Venezuelan aboriginal percussion drum called "Cumaco" in 5 themes: Venus, Stonehenge, Universe, Planet Byte & Cosmic Mantra, In this album you'll find a very positive energy with a lot of MAYOR Chords. The cumaco is a percussion instrument made of wood using a hollow trunk with a goat leather played with drumstick and hands all together, there are three: male, female and the cumaco's bell which is used for soloing, it is played by three musicians live, In this album we replaced the Cumaco's bell with an African Djembe which sounds very similar...... In RA I invited Angelo Milli (Film Music Composer) to record a Didgeridoo this performance gives a Amazing Power to the theme which is a Tribute to God's SUN RA. Galaxy Child is a Song that Talks About how naive is the humanity is compare to the wisdom of the universe Universe is inspired in the movie Star Trek First Contact, when the humans made contact with an alien race (The vulcans) this will be a huge moment for humanity is this happens One refers that in order to progress as a society we should forget our differences and work as ONE Venus is a theme dedicated to the goddess of love, this song is created and dedicated to a woman responsible for finishing this album... Weekend in Saturn: how much we need to evolve in order to be able to go to Saturn and comeback in one Single Weekend? Stonehenge, it is not too dificult to understand that the name, we just add Afro-venezuelan percussion a little bit of our land Zabhama is the name of a song that I made back in 1994 you could say that this is the oldest theme of this album. Cosmic Mantra is way different to the concept of the album however I made it in a day that was the birthday of an Hindu friend that I have, I didn't knew that was her birthday until I delivered the file to her, she says that this song is a gift from the divinity, I believe her Le chemin à Paris I dedicate this theme to one of my most big influences in music, Jean Michel Jarre and to my French origins Planet Byte is an utopia where humans, technology and mother nature lives in perfect harmony respecting each other...
