about

Jose Alvarez, Self-Portrait, 17 years old.

We live in a world dominated by misogyny, racism, violence, and pain, but also one where we all share so many emotional connections. Mount Athos is about making connections and accepting the differences between all of us.

This collection of musical pieces is the culmination of years of composition and research. My main influence with the creation of "A Portrait of Mount Athos" was the post-expressionist movement of artwork, most prominent being the highly engrossing concept of disillusion with society and a deterioration of existing moral values which was strongly associated with the movement.

This record is as introspective and meaningful as anything I've ever crafted. Thank you for your interest in this project.
