This is by far one of the best chill-out, relaxing, decompressing albums ever! If you, like everyone else in the industrialized world, are looking for respite, here is your soundtrack! Don't overlook this one. Threshold is appointed to be a classic.

Somewhere in my dreams memories and insistently re-emerging to my waking consciousness, the idea behind Crystalline Dream had been the haunting me until I was fortunate enough to record it and bring it to life. Most of the music and themes on the album were realized when I was dreaming and jotted down upon awakening.
The Crystalline Dream album is comprised of eleven pieces and are meant to be as an unfolding dream. As you slip from consciousness before falling asleep, you cross the Threshold and then slip into a dream state as you journey through Ethereal Gauze and further into the dream.
My wish is for you to relax and join me on this music journey and hopefully be taken to a different place of reflection and discovery.
We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?

I dreamed I was a butterfly I felt free going from flower to flower, drifting on a warm midday breeze, delighting with nature's beauty in its splendor.
Suddelny I woke up and realized that I was really Chuang Tzu.
Now I ask myself, was it me who dreamed I was a butterfly or was it that the butterfly was dreaming of me? (Oriental tale)
Happy each second, whole, each one of them, all.
Beyond the limits, beyond what ends, what begins, from mind's sight that sets boundaries on time.
Crystalline Dream: Your lovely sound makes me feel like being on a boat on a celestial sea ... a bird soaring up heavens unknown ...or even on a trip looking for myself. Congratulations and thank you so much for allowing me to share such a divine art. A strong embrace from your Brazilian admirer,
