Alex Deep talks “Merlinmoon”

Merlinmoon is the indie, psychedelic rock creation of 27 year old, Venezuelan musician Alex Deep, and has been taking the college scene by storm for the past five years.

Inspired by the works of Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and various others, Deep, a former business major at Boston University, resolved to abandon that career path and pursue a life of creating music.

After college and a year long trip exploring various parts of the world, he drew on his experiences and subsequent insights to create the music of his rock alter ego Merlinmoon; the result of which is his first and, currently only album, "Stoned By Dreams." 

"I have been a big fan of music all of my life," said Deep, explaining how he chose music as the means to express his literary musings. As a DJ in Venezuela, Deep could not find any songs he wanted to play. This prompted him to first consider the type of music he craved and to ultimately create it.

"Rainy day music, for people to think, relax and enjoy a bottle of wine," is how Deep describes his music. His goal is to evoke a very specific ambiance for his listeners. Deep hopes his sounds will cause a meditative feel, a triggering of the unconscious wrapped in the comfort of relaxation.
