Girl on a Swing is an original composition inspired by a haunting and unforgettable memory from my youth. As a young man walking to school each morning, I would pass a girl on a swing—always there, no matter the weather. Whether it was in the heat of summer or the middle of a cold winter, she swung back and forth with a quiet, mesmerizing rhythm. That image stayed with me for years, and it comes to life in this piece.

Blending the soul of jazz with the heart of Americana, Girl on a Swing features expressive guitar textures and a gentle, swaying rhythm that echoes the swing’s motion. It’s music filled with nostalgia, wonder, and a hint of mystery—an emotional reflection of a moment frozen in time. For this recording I use my EWI to create all of the parts.

Growing up in Ecuador, I was captivated by Western movies. Years later, a transformative year in Montana allowed me to witness real cowboys in action. The deep, almost mystical bond between them and their horses inspired this piece—a tribute to the untamed frontier and the enduring spirit of the West.

Let The Rocky Mountain Rider take you on a ride through leather, dust, and determination.

The Rocky Mountain Path is an unreal composition inspired by the rugged beauty of Western music and my personal experiences living in Montana. In this musical journey, I invite you to imagine riding a horse along a winding trail through the breathtaking landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. The song is a portrait of the serene yet wild spirit of the West, where the open trails meet the grandeur of nature.

Using my electronic wind control controller (EWI), I evoke the soulful tones of guitar sounds, blending them with atmospheric textures to craft a soundscape that captures both the romanticism and raw allure of a mountainous adventure. The composition transports listeners into a rich, immersive world—a tribute to the spirit of exploration and the timeless beauty of Montana’s vast landscapes.
