The Sound
The finest instrumental rock from Austria.
13 Albums. 188 Songs!
Our music explores themes of cosmic isolation, stellar phenomena, and the infinite expanse of space. Each track is a voyage through different celestial realms, from crushing black holes to serene nebulae. We combine elements of hard rock, space rock, fuzz rock, noise rock and electro-pop rock with distorted and clean electric guitars, acoustic guitars, groovy bass, heavy drums and acoustic percussion.
The music is available for streaming and purchasing in all streaming platforms worldwide including spotify, youtube, amazon music, apple music, etc.
Acoustic Music
Jose Luis also makes quiet acoustic melodies. 13 Albums, over 140 songs
Quiet Acoustic MusicGood spirit, good story, message, dynamic, interesting, they take the listener into dreams. Maja Jaku
Beautiful guitar sounds, rhythmic bassist, captivating, dreamlike — as soon as the first note plays, you are drawn into a dream world where everything feels light and atmospheric. Exceptionally talented musicians. You have no choice — you're pulled into a spell. The sound creates images that evolve from track to track, more and more colors appear and flow into one another until the final song. Exceptional talents. These artists, with their music, invite you to close your eyes and dream, to listen and become one with the sound that truly envelops you. Denise Heindl
Your music features some very cool arrangements that radiate a pleasant calm when listening. It's genuinely very compelling. This kind of music invites you to dream pleasantly — and that's truly meant as a compliment. The songs shine with great variety and are all very enjoyable. They really stick in your head. Even the slightly more upbeat track fit perfectly into the high quality of your music. Patrick Meerwald
