In 2010 he decides to incorporate on his music, vintage analog synthesizers and adopted a more retro style. Inspired by the nostalgia of the 70´s and 80´s he composed songs like “Cosmos” and “1982.” The melody and the possibility of creating various atmospheres and emotions is the most important factor in his latest productions.
