Alan plays mostly acoustic songs in a variety of styles from Indie to Folk to Country-Blues. He takes inspiration from a variety of sources in music as well as from literary figures. Imagine Bob Dylan channeling Ernest Hemingway or Leonard Cohen writing tunes after reading some work by T.S. Eliot or Neil Young trying to make sense of William S. Burroughs. He describes his songs as “familiar objects that are closer to someone because they’re more human, less generic.”
His bohemian style is a direct influence on his work. “I’ve recorded music everywhere, in different environments, with an eclectic group of people and in a diverse array of contexts, some less formal than others. I’ve recorded songs in a garage, a bedroom, a living room, a friend’s parent’s home while they were away in Italy...the list goes on!” He’s currently recording his latest album in a top quality recording studio.
Alan Silva… keep an eye out for him. He’s going to make history some day.

The conditions under which any one understands me, and necessarily understands me-I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion, he must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. He must be accustomes to living on mountaintops-and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as beneath him. He must become indifferent; he must never ask the truth wether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him....He must have an inclination born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for; the courage for the forbidden; predestination for the labyrinth. The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music: http://www.myspace.com/clrawkstar
Zarasthustra hath spoken---
Quoted from the preface of Frederick Nietzche's Anti-Christ

I spent a good deal of time listening to your music while working on a final and I really enjoyed it. I can hear some of your influences, at least who I think are you influences, and I hear a something in and of itself. Thanks for your creation. ***Grandfather Sound
