I grew up listening to what is now considered classic rock, but also a lot of classical music. I imagine most of the influences and ideas come from there. When I started learning to play the guitar as an adult, I dedicated myself for a while to grunge and prog rock, but playing covers bored me, so I started creating original melodies. That is the direction I consequently developed, without thinking about it too much.
I grew up listening listening at home (as a kid) to what is now considered classic rock, but also classical music, I guess some of the influences and ideas come from there. When I started learning to play guitar as an adult, I was trying some grunge and prog rock (pearl jam, alice in chains, soundgarden, pink floyd, yes, santana) but it got boring playing covers so I started making my own melodies and this is the direction I took automatically, without much thinking. Most of the ideas come spontaneously while practicing new sounds and melodies.

The inspiration comes from multiple places, including Life on Earth, Experiences, Theories, Physics and Nature. Also work related experiences and thoughts. Each piece has its own story. For example: Wavefront and Exchange are related to particle physics. A Molecular Cloud is the birth place of galaxies. Square (as I thought of it) is a concept of Mathematics.
We all like to talk about science, data, the universe, physics, and even about LLMs (AI systems related to language, ed.), and about how everything, in the final analysis, influences us as human beings. In our daily work, we handle data, so we talk a lot about this subject. There is no particular reason behind our musical perspective, other than the idea of filling space and time with new sounds.
I had been thinking for a while about writing a song with this title; then, a few months ago, while visiting some websites, I discovered that the links weren't working, so I decided to write a song in honor of all missing links—whether they are the transitional forms in the evolutionary chain or simply erroneous HTML references.
