Interview:

With music you can feel everything. You can feel happy, you can feel sad, you can be melancholy, you can kill with Satanic music, you can heal with music, and you can transport your most deeply felt feelings through your soul to get to the highest levels of spirituality.

“With music you can feel everything… through your soul to get to the highest levels of spirituality.”
– Xavier Quijas Yxayotl, flautist
