Andre Marins started studying Classical guitar at the age of eleven and then went to study Jazz improvisation a few years later until both forces united in the context of Progressive Rock.
Andre's guitar playing and compositions involve crafted arrangements as well as improvisational passages touched by diverse time signatures where charming melodies are embraced by rich chord voicings with solid soloing techniques.

In March 2014 Andre released the instrumental tracks "Across The Silver Waves" and
"Ten Minutes Of Silence". They are available at http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/andremarins and on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/andre-marins/id203094633
