Alejandro Elizondo, Fausto Arellano Borquez, Arturo Ortega - Al Principio Los Sueños Eran Caóticos

A modular odyssey through stoner-psych and electronic incantations.

Recorded over five intense days in February 2025 at the renowned Las Dunas Studio in Monterrey, Nuevo León, this collaboration between Arturo Ortega, Fausto Arellano, and Alejandro Elizondo is a monumental exploration of sound. Released in late 2025, the album is a masterclass in improvisation and composition, where traditional rock instrumentation is subsumed by a wall of "electronic incantations." This is music that exists in the liminal spaces between stoner rock, shoegaze, and experimental noise, held together by a rhythmic backbone of live percussion and precision electronic beats.

The sonic palette of this record is staggeringly vast, utilizing a museum-grade collection of analog and modular gear. Listeners are treated to the deep, resonant textures of the Moog One and SOMA LYRA 8, the erratic beauty of tape manipulation, and the unmistakable chime of the Mellotron. Fuzz-drenched EGC and Fender guitars cut through layers of analog synthesis (from the Pin Electronics Portabella to the Dot Com systems), creating a dense, psychedelic fog. From the metallic ring of the gong to the glitchy pulse of the Elektron Octatrack, every track is a sprawling, tactile landscape of feedback and rhythm. It is a vital document of Mexican experimental music—a journey that is as much about the process of discovery as it is about the final, hypnotic result.
