The Master Minded project started somewhere in the year 2000.

With and along the years the vision to bring back the forgotten ancient messages got clearer.

Bouncing between slow beats and magical melodies, Master Minded exposes back the lost connection to earth and to the cosmic link that opens up deeper and more hidden portals of awareness.

Through the Master Minded music, there is a visionary, shamanic, tribal journey that dives deep into the unknown realms of information and allows the listener to connect himself to that realm in order to learn more about the inner, hidden lights of truth and wisdom.

WHAT IS "APUKUNA"? (artist statement)

"Apukuna" is a Quechua word meaning 'mountain spirits'. Following an apprenticeship into Andean cosmology, I chose the name to honor the people, the wisdom, and to invite deeper appreciation for their sacred relationship to land, mountains and the unseen. This relationship is available to all of us who walk this earth and is where much of my musical inspiration emerges."
