VIVE! 🧵
That's the name of my debut album, and this painting is the cover.
It's been hand-painted by Sergio Menasché, legendary Argentinian master of fileteado. It took Sergio and I a full month to sketch the idea, deeply exploring how we could visually express the lyrical and sonic themes of this album.
"VIVE!" is an existential and philosophical piece–a journey that I started after a close encounter with death nine years ago. I hope this album feels like a companion, holding your hand and gently listening to your thoughts. It is not a work that delivers answers, but rather explores questions. And I hope that within the intervals, between words and sounds, you can start to see the paths that my own thoughts followed.
I worked with more than 40 musicians on "VIVE!", from an Argentinean Andean flute player to an entire orchestra, all of whom recorded their music remotely with my direction.
I want "VIVE!" to be held by truth seekers–people who want to squeeze the most from every minute of their lives, but also those who are searching for reason or purpose. I believe it’s an album for anyone who’s invested in examining the deeper questions in life and daring to contemplate the complexities of mortality.
I hope you enjoy the close-ups of this album cover art. I love seeing the details and how tactile and textured a painting can be when it's created by hand.
Live!

PS. This one is slightly different from "VIVE! 🧵 33 GENE$1S" which sold out too fast for my friends to mint... reason why I'm doing this drop as an addition.
The wallets that hold these will have access to whitelist spots for Los Diablos NFT collection and some other cool things I'll be sharing soon.
