For the human eyes . . . . Born and raised in Guayaquil, Ecuador (Country located in the half of the world) where he is an Icon in the ‘underground scene of electronic music’ and the most important influence for the new generation in this exotic place. Andre Salmon, is the owner and founder of two exotic music labels next to his partners, Chris C. and Rogg; Anima Somnis (Dub Techno with minimalistic textures and mental melodies that molds the human resonance and vibration of the universe) and Maniacs (A home for the isolated tunes, going from independent electronic music and deep house to indie rock and chillout music), both labels have too much to tell. About music . . . . Andre Salmon went back to past to find his roots, this research reading about evolution and ancient tones, this knowledge made a new shape on his music, transforming into light, darkness, sadness and unknown feelings. He says ‘All is about resonance’; Thats why is working with ‘sacred resonances’, and frequencies lower than 20Hz, this low frequencies aren’t made to listen, are vibrations that helps perceive hidden emotions. Actually, he is working on the labels (Maniacs / Ouch! and Anima Somnis), and more musical projects with the team as ‘The Silicone Savages’ and ‘Seven Years Traveling Between Past & Future’, and many more. Andre Salmon also is working in his new project [ Mëråčº ] and performing his new ‘live act’ called: [ I’m The Råinº ]
