SUNYATA

About SUNYATA

Xavier Vivas’ musical project- SUNYATA Rock - is rooted in his first musical experiences in Ecuador- his first band (Noisy Matters) performed extensively and appeared on various radio and TV shows, as well as won a top-20’s best national bands’ contest (2002).

In 2004 Xavier moves to Montreal, and continues his musical project by teaming up with new musicians, under the name of SUNYATA. His travels, university studies (Philosophy, Literature, etc) and explorations inspire him to write new songs. Weather in English, Spanish or French, the new compositions remain true to Xavier’s alternative style, with deep yet catchy lyrics (which he writes as well). The lyrics deal with energy, illusion, dreams, time, etc.

After performing in many venues in Montreal (concerts, jams, open-mics), Xavier and his band start recording their first professional EP, fall 2006. The result, “Kosmic Mantra”, is released by Psychedelia Productions, in January 2007. The featured songs: I don’t know, Dirt, Antisocial (in Spanish) and When you’re gone got into the top 10 of Internet sites such as Soundclick, Underground Records and Songtiger. Presently, “Kosmic Mantra” is being played on radio stations and podcasts in Canada, US and the UK. SUNYATA’s list of future projects includes recording their first album, touring across Canada and the US, and making their first video clip.
