The Inner Odyssey

Embark on a transformative journey with “The Inner Odyssey – A Journey Into The Self” an instrumental album that resonates with the energy centers of the body. Each of the seven movements is tuned to the musical keys of these centers harmonizing nature’s soothing sounds with traditional instruments to create a rich auditory experience.

As you listen, allow the music to guide you into a heart space filled with love, creativity, and self-discovery, providing a sanctuary for reflection and inspiration.

I would like to thank all the wonderful musicians and artists who contributed to this project and a special thanks to psychologist, Dr. Margie Gayle. Without her wisdom and vision this project would never have happened. For more information about Dr. Gayle and her transformative work, you can email her at drmargie@margiegayle.com

A Stop In Gallup

This album is a tribute to my father. He was a family and business man but also an artist creating music, poetry and paintings. The cover art is his original artwork and the lyrics on the album are his poems.

I wrote the music to his poetry over a three day period. I would read a poem, pick up my guitar and play the first thing that came to my mind and that was the song. I then performed and produced the music remaining as true to my fathers poetic phrasing as I could. I also repeated certain lines to create some song structor.

It’s an abstract collection of songs I call “Poetry Rock”. It speaks of moments that bring meaning and purpose to life. It was recorded in Nashville TN and Los Angeles.

Start Living

A few years ago I experienced a crisis of purpose. I woke up one morning with a loud humming in my ears. Diagnosed as Eustachian Tube Dysfunction, it brought my music producing career to an abrupt stop.

After much soul searching, I looked at my life and came to the conclusion that I had not really been expressing myself fully. I was producing other artists but kept putting my own music on hold. It caught up to me and affected my health. 

In a leap of faith, I put everything in storage and hit the road traveling throughout the United States and Canada in search of healing and renewed purpose.  The songs on “Start Living” are my creative recovery. It was recorded in Nashville TN, at the Parlor Room Studio.

Testimonials

“Not only was Carlos our artist development coach but we wrote a really cool song with him called “No One” that ended up on our first gold record!”

Aly and Aj

Recording Artists

“Working with Carlos was rewarding on both a musical and personal level.  From a technical perspective, the things he taught me about songwriting and song structure have remained a part of all my compositions for more than a decade.  His skills as a producer are unmatched.  He listens to and is respectful of where you (the artist) are trying to take your music, unbiased by his personal musical preferences.  In other words, your songs will sound as you imagined them to sound, and even better, but consistent with your vision.  He’s an accomplished musician and could easily play the parts he may be suggesting, but he’ll encourage (make) you to play them – you’ll be better for it and perhaps a bit surprised by what you can do with a little nudge and encouragement 😉.  Simply put, don’t pass up the opportunity to work with Carlos!”

“I have been working with Carlos for over ten years. He has helped me discover my songwriter voice, and has given me the tools I needed to become a better performer. Working with Carlos has made me a better musician over all and I am so thankful I met him. I would recommend his coaching program for anyone that wants to become a better musical artist and explore the world of songwriting and performance”.
