These are soundtracks titled "Entering A Black Hole" & "Distant Voices"  Live recordings from the Sci-Fi album "Synesthetic Metaforce" a collection of soundtracks by guitar synthetist, multi-genre music writer: Exavier Rivas. (and other tracks from different albums) all  released on his indie record label Fantasman, an original music concept taking a step forward into the century, 8 of the album's soundtracks were recorded live in one take, while the other 4 are studio elaborated compositions..

Life has granted Exavier Rivas the freedom to make crazy music for a crazy world and "vice versa"!... Artsy music for artful minds and plenty of mainstream crossover Pop love vocal songs & other cool music too! A pioneer on guitar synthesis, multi-genre music writer with strong roots in Rock, Blues, Latin, Jazz Fusion, Experimental Electronic guitar music and whatever comes into his mind...  Exavier has performed as a solo artist and with his Pop-Rock project "Art & Exavier" in venues & concerts around Southern California, Central Florida, New York City, Mexico City and later this year in the U.K.

"Myself as an artist, I can see and feel what others do not... the difference is... I do know is all real...!

 Furthermore; I do not play music, by the contrary, it is music who plays me... and the guitar is not my instrument but rather the opposite... I'm the guitar's instrument!"

REVIEWS & COMMENTS

"Exavier Riva's SYNESTHETIC METAFORCE; If you as a listener expected the average guitar synthesis (bells, flutes and whistles sounds) you are here for a big surprise, these soundtracks display new guitar playing techniques and timbers as well as orchestral layers in the analog context that bares ominous heavy sounds while the softer tracks provide a mellow atmosphere..."   JAM MAGAZINE Tampa Fl.

"SUNFLASHED an album by Exavier Rivas; His trippy compositions in the Space-Rock genre create worlds of magic that easily rivals those of Pink Floyd!..." KULTURE KRASH MAGAZINE Los Angeles Ca.

" Guitar synthetist Exavier Rivas; Hard to define which genre of music he belongs to, possessing an arsenal of songwriting skills reminded this reviewer of Pink Floyd, but not necessarily at any rate, one moment one genre, next moment a different genre..." DOWNLOAD MUSIC CNET.COM

"Hundreds of bands have played my venue, however I have never heard anything like Exavier Rivas before or after!... DAVE'S AQUALOUNGE Saint Petersburg Fl.

"Exavier Rivas... And edge on the 60's, the past is the future you blew our minds altogether!... ELECTROHARMONIX CORPORATION, HALL OF SCIENCE, New York City NY.

"In listening to Exavier Riva's performing live at Electronica Nite's; One can tell he is not a one-man-band but rather a gutsy solo performer who can still sound just as good without a band, drum machines or sequencers and still manages to develop audience's interest, his styles are reminiscence of mid to late 60's guitarists combined with his own unheard raw style..." FOCUS MAGAZINE, Clearwater Fl.

"The songwriting combination as well as their vocal harmonies between Art's silky voice & Exavier's lower pitch voice can't help it but to bring forth memories of some early Beatle's songs..." PEGGY STROM, Minneapolis, MN.

 

"...When a political state, entity, ideology or government fails to recognize the worth and dignity of human rights then that state, entity, ideology or government has become obsolete and therefore it must be changed or come to an end!..." ROD SERLING (American writer, producer)

"Dios si existe, los que no existimos somos nosotros..." Yo!
