The Secrets Behind the Music Composing Process is difficult to find the right words to describe. Usually it includes a lead melody line which in every step by step becoming a harmony lines. But what actually happens in human brain is always quite mystical. Anyway, there is a wisdom: "Talking about music - it's like that dancing about architecture." You must hear and feel the music.

Román Montero - LIFE - Improvisación a dos tomas (2015)
Recently he was attracted by the idea of exploring improvisation, releasing numerous songs (mostly in web format) with first take improvisations on electric guitar.
“I can't define a preference for a genre or musical style in particular. When I do my music, whether deliberate or improvised,
always ends up coming out a bunch of special own features and style. Music is an art that's associated with everything so sometimes I also ventured into other artistic fields.
I even thought that the true work of art is life itself. I like to listen and observe always to learn. Then communicate through the same ways as a natural process. I like nature but
I consider reason and human behavior as a part of that”.
