This is from my now defunct band Mentes Contrarias.  We were an alternative rock band in Puerto Rico.  This song is about reflecting on yourself as if, maybe one day you look in the mirror and don't recognize the person looking back.  Lyrics and main music were written by me.  I played the rhythm guitar in the chorus and the clean finger style part in the verses and bridge.

01 Introspeccion

This song by Mentes Contrarias  has lyrics written by me and music written by Jose Oscar Rodriguez.  I played the rhythm guitar and also the single note accents in the verses.  This song reached #18 on the hits list of Cosmo 97 FM ( a Puerto Rican radio station ) and held the position for 6 weeks. 

02 Soñar

This song by Mentes Contrarias translates into "The Black Page."  It is about being hurt, feeling alone and helpless.  Feeling that no mater what you do, nothing changes, much like writing with black ink on a black page.  The lyrics and music were written by me and I played all the rhythm guitar on this track.

08 La Pagina Negra

This composition was made during my studies at Full Sail and is a perfect example of what Full Sail has done for me.  I have had this idea for many years as a simple guitar song. With the skills I have acquired, I was able to take this to the next level as a composition for piano , bass, violins and chelos.  I consider this one of my best works.
