Second Lives

Violet Sky

Leading single ‘Autre Vie’, highlights the bands signature style of beautiful, ethereal melodies which emit a sense of tranquility. Fusing nostalgic electronica, atmospheric aesthetics and building anthemic drum beats, the band have succeeded in producing a dynamic song to portray a sense of peace and understanding. 'Autre Vie', meaning “another life” in French, was written in a time of need during Aguilar’s struggle with a temporary illness.  The illness consequently forced him to be house bound. Aguilar reveals, “they say that a man's character is best defined when they are alone, my journey led me to discover a specific musical sound that brings peace and freedom to whatever someone is going through”. The single expresses how love is the most powerful thing to conquer ones personal moral state of being.

We're not big fans of working on remixes, but how could any one resist a song like Jealous by The New Division. Enjoy our version of this beautiful song

The New Division -Jealous (By An Ion Remix)

I'm your fantasy 
I'm the one you see 
aren't you heavenly? 
I'm the one 

end your apathy 
one can only see 
end of all your fears 
all alone 

x2 I'm the one ...Im the one ... 

I'm your fallacy 
I'm the one you see 
is it heavenly ? 
you're the one 

Goodbye apathy 
what you cannot see 
Aren't you ecstasy? 
you're the one

Vestiges(feat Laura Levenhagen)

By An Ion is a duo composed of Ray Aguilar and Alex Gonzales. Merging the worlds of ambient synth and contemporary music, they are able to create a sound that echoes their melody driven vocals. Dreamy, and cinematic at times, the music speaks of personal and relative topics to the listener. Both members have a similar yet distinct sound to their vocals, which makes the music that more interesting.

Ray Aguilar has dabbled on solo work in the past and fronted the indie electronic band Broadcasting Sirens in which he shared the stage with Alex gonzales who was then the drummer for a number of years. Alex Gonzales fronted a band of his own in the past named Sleep Paralysis and is currently the drummer for indie-synth pop band The New Division.

Both Ray and Alex have spoken of their chemistry in the studio and compare it to literally finishing each others sentences.The heavy use of synth pads and reverb give the music a dreamy and angelic ambiance without shying away from the  sometimes abrasive electronic drums. although they fill in every side of the spectrum with their music, it always keeps a balance that us rooted by their empathetic songwriting .

They have worked in the studio along side with The New Division's John Kunkel and Spanish Synth Pop artist Sergio Palacios from Puerto Aereo. They have a number of remixes out and continue to collaborate with various artists.
