  For me, visiting boom festival was something on the "to do list" for many years. After being unable to go at the 2004, and 2006 boom, finally, 2008 was the year I would make it. It was a beautiful experience, the place is wonderful, even though harsh at times, but that added to the whole experience, making it unique and a trip to remember for ever. The people there were fantastic, many smiley faces and full of positive energy, ready to party and have fun with the many interesting things that were part of the festival experience. Which means that there were many other things to do, apart from blast-dancing on the dancefloor. Art shows, theatre events, film projections, speeches and conversations, yoga lessons and more... You had a hard time being bored !! It seemed almost impossible not to find something interesting every time and at each corner of the beautiful landscape of idanha-a-nova. I'm certainly going again at this festival anytime !

 Dream Collage is my new project which will be of ambient and soundscape music orientation. Sometimes, I find myself drawn into mysterious soundscapes and synthesised dreams, and the outcome is a piece of music that sounds something like this. I don't have much time to devote in music making lately, but this kind of sound is better "in touch" with myself ,atleast for the time being. So , go ahead and download it here : I would like to hear some comments if you think you can do that. Also, I am open to collaboration proposals, just email me at other_reality@hotmail.com and let me know.

.jpg) The festival was an overall nice experience. Not too many people, not the best sound stage, but truly, some of the best music there is out there right now. Great chill trance sets, in a fantastic location. The beach was warm, welcoming and pure. The atmosphere had a kind of family-like reunion, due to the fact that the place wasn't packed with people. This was a perfect opportunity to meet more people in depth, rather than just say hello. Musicwise, as mentioned, all things couldn't be better. Great chill trance sets, groovy progressive beats later on, and heavy duty trance at nights. Quality stuff all the way. The locals seemed to be surprised, that they actually didn't have to deal with cannibals (!) or with some kind of aliens, as they had been warned, probably by the same people that irritated them throughout the fest. (People who went there know to whom I am reffering to). Lemnos is actually a very friendly, clean and welcoming place. I really hope that the fest will take place there again, next year !!! .jpg)

 I finally uploaded my album, and all of you can download it for free. FREE is an album consisted of 9 tracks, all of which I've produced during the last 3 years. I wanted to do this so, here it is, complete with sleeves and stuff. Most of the tracks are made with a really humble PC running Reason 2. Alone. Some others, are done with a kinda more sophisticated setup, modern synths and sequencers. All of them though represent something for me, each track being special for me in its own way. Right now, my brain is so confused, I really can't go into a specific style, say Psychedelic trance or ambient...I just let it go. But these tracks, although not directly connecting with each other, they surely belong to psychedelic, trance and ambient genres. And they behold some strange fantasies, scary thoughts, and overwhelming urges of energy coming from the depths of my last 5 years of existence. I've been making music for 10 years or so, and apart from a cd i've made for friends some time ago, I haven't exposed it as much as it probably deserves. I kept it for myself, probably because I was afraid of it, in some strange way. Now that I'm free about it, here's free, for free... The files have been converted to direct downloads, with no time limitations the pass is : other_reality

 I plan to share my music for free so, this might be the place to be updated, if you think you like it. My eternal passion and hobby is music, so after many years of keeping it for myself, and no obvious reason to release it, I'm gonna just upload it for whoever it may be of interest. Electronic music, computer based, with lots of crazy inspirations. Ranging from trance to ambient to uncharted soundtrack soundscapes. For the time being, a trance track i've made 2 years ago can be found at http://www.funender.com/music/bands/5377/ Have a listen! I've also written many small "poems", which I also plan to show here. Again, I think its really stupid of me to have kept all these things for myself and for only a few friends. Now that I feel more liberated from the agony of exposure, I say here is what I have thought over ther years, however stupid or illegible it may seem to many of you. Keep in touch, and have a look at the links from time to time.
 An artist whose work is great inspiration and is encouraging the neopsychedelic wave of art is Naotto Hattori. This above image is one of his creations, really reminiscent of Alex Grey's work. His website is full of ultra psychedelic visuals, which talk immediately to any like minded person. Visit www.wwwcomcom.com for more, and www.alexgrey.com for Alex Grey's site, which again is also very inspiring
