Alan plays acoustic songs in a variety of styles from Indie to Folk to Blues. He takes inspiration from a variety of sources in music as well as from literary figures. Imagine Bob Dylan channeling Ernest Hemingway or Leonard Cohen writing tunes after reading some work by T.S. Eliot or The Velvet Underground trying to make sense of William S. Burroughs. He describes his songs as “familiar objects that are closer to someone because they’re more human, less generic.”
His bohemian style is a direct influence on his work. “I’ve recorded music everywhere, in different environments, with an eclectic group of people and in a diverse array of contexts, some less formal than others. I’ve recorded songs in a garage, a bedroom, a living room, a friend’s parent’s home while they were away in Italy...the list goes on!” He’s currently recording his latest album in an old bank vault.
Alan Silva… keep an eye out for him. He’s going to make history some day.

Alan Silva _ Hunters & Hunted

Music Review of Hunters and Hunted by Alan Silva
author: Rudy Gonzalez
A port in Ghent a three minute 8 second opening track.
This guys got a good style, poetically, and musically to note that he seems to be earning his wings and paying his dues by creating some seriously surreal material. Check out track 2 A love song sent like a whispering wind reminiscent of being with kisses & a particular lover-view inner look at the strutting the stuff Alan Silva.
Track 3 is caring: Dream of me is the wish of all men on this earth dream of me romantically , pretty self righteous but delivers the poetry and shows budding promise in developing a future more stylized guitar voice.
Track 4 title track(hunters and hunted)ignorance rules no doubt my man, no matter if you like it or see it a different way or not, I think on that subject no one seems to know anything at all is the word imagery I tune into. I sense a questioning pursuer of more viewpoints to do more soul searching on this real-life quest that is a very important part of self discovery, we all should have our own lifes view and let's hope sometime soon.
Track 5 You've tortured me so much is a very self explanatory track title for what you get is pretty and his vocal tone is reminiscent of a younger Leonard Cohen meets Lou Reed.
Track 6 strange people. I feel that perhaps there can be a rush to want to know more and more about what it takes to be alive where once again I see ignorance as a factor of great importance somehow leading to happiness, maybe a fast lover. Maybe even a love song, One to consider checking out. Track 7 peregrine wine definitely captured the essence of the almighty blessed drunken in the early afternoon style like a la-la0 love song player status on this one. word up.
Track 8 Mystery house: melodic but and being very critical about what this song could be is a tiny bit strained but not sweating, I do believe that A.S. has so far into the album only used one track of vocal while playing the live guitar as much as I thought I could hear wich shows some personal strengths of musical learning curve progression as well as growing writing talents and facets of tune in to now/ self discovery staying young. The placement of mystery house as track 8 to me was not the most perfect place but 8 is the address for this personal message.
Track 9 winter comes so quickly, is a sad sorry sack stuck in imagery, in lyrics as well as with the guitar, and the Vocal track is too loud over the accompanying guitar ouch!!
note I'm wearing headphones.
Track 10 Thank you, lord working real good on being like the real Neil Young
Track 11 Who am I? This song really stands out to me as a possible future hit. check it out, loses me though @ 1:20-1:35 comes back sadly When the whistle blows a bit loud on the sound.
Track 12 Land of trees, Now I like the grateful dead, as a dead head myself so I ca'nt be upset at his take on hippie-dippie trippy short fun song.
Track 13 yawn, very ballad
Track 14 No limit : very keen and insightful into the creative mind great prose to be read over ones shoulder or go out for a night of culture.
Track 15 six six six= a psycho bitch!!!
Track 16 coming back to you Good tune. definitely check this one out.
