This story begins at the sea. In art, thoughts always swim in the search for the satisfaction of being. They are there in a constant dialectic to give juicy fruits.

It started with a simple piano rhodes. I wanted to make a very simple, fresh, classic sound, like Destiny's Child, something where Beyonce could sing on, with simple arpeggios of piano or guitar.

But I decided to combine two chord progressions, and they have harmonically fit. One I took from a Marvin Gaye theme, and another I took from the sea of ​​my thoughts. Then I decided to use my secret plugins in each sound to give a slightly more modern atmosphere, always imagining a woman like Aretha Franklin singing something about my beat.

Currently in other compositions I've been looking for something where a Latin melody can be well and at the same time sound like RnB without falling into Trap Gangsta sounds although sometimes I like them a lot.

Maybe after so much listening to SZA or 6LACK, I have achieved this result a little spatially, I would not say similar, but I feel that there is something poetic and sublime in this creation as well as in their alternative experiments, which I listen to every day and it is something I wanted to evoke.

Try to avoid a bit of darkness to find the fresh sound of soul and even there included some very characteristic high-pitched sounds of G-funk.

I hope you enjoy it.

Esta historia comienza en el mar. En el arte, los pensamientos siempre nadan en la búsqueda de la satisfacción del ser. Están allí en una dialéctica constante para dar frutas jugosas.

Comenzó con un piano rhodes sencillo. Quería hacer un sonido muy simple, fresco y clásico, como Destiny's Child, algo en lo que Beyonce podía cantar, con arpegios simples de piano o guitarra.

Pero decidí combinar dos progresiones de acordes, y tienen un ajuste armónico. Uno que tomé de un tema de Marvin Gaye, y otro que tomé del mar de mis pensamientos. Entonces decidí usar mis complementos secretos en cada sonido para darles un ambiente un poco más moderno, siempre imaginando a una mujer como Aretha Franklin cantando algo sobre mi ritmo.

Actualmente en otras composiciones he estado buscando algo donde una melodía latina pueda ser buena y, al mismo tiempo, suene como RnB sin caer en los sonidos de Trap Gangsta, aunque a veces me gustan mucho.

Tal vez después de tanto esuchar SZA or 6LACK, he logrado este resultado un poco espacial, no diría que es similar, pero siento que hay algo poético y sublime en esta creación, así como en sus experimentos alternativos, que escucho todos los días y es algo que quería evocar.

Traté de evitar un poco de oscuridad para encontrar el sonido fresco del Soul e incluso incluyo algunos sonidos agudos muy característicos del G-funk.

Cool downtempo. I could see this as a late night after-hours chill-out
