merak19
merak19 was created as a soundlab with the main idea of compose original music based in geometrical drawings and numerical secuences. Most of the songs are created using ACAD designs where polygons are rotatin around poliedric shapes... all this process gives numerical secuences that lately will be translated to notes. All this experimentation is allways directed towards the enigmas of the old cabala and the primitive ancestral rites.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Meraks live set is more complex than music in studio. Usually play with Enrique Galdeano two great musicians from pamplona: Carlos Hidalgo from No Disc and German Ormaechea from Horthy. There are also played 3d animations and images as the music sounds.
