Volano is what Marco Pasillas has been doing musically with himself since 1999. Volano is not a proper band, as such: the name is a flag of convenience under which Pasillas arrays a floating canvas of musical ideas, painted with sonic strokes of ambiguity and relentless shifting of mood.
As an unconventional songwriter and soundscapist, Marco Pasillas imposes no musical limits on creation or lyrical content. Nor does he practice with any hard and fast rules. Some tracks are written in a traditional manner with a basic chord progression and voice accompaniment. However, most pieces of music are a combination of simultaneously composing, structuring and/or recording. The result is usually something that started off as a much different sounding track with the basic idea still intact.
Having been one-half of the successful “Metal-in-Spanglish” Southern California outfit Camel Toe, Pasillas also has performed with Jazz, Blues and Funk groups, further embellishing on his wide musical tastes and brushing up on his bass playing chops. Sountracks, both music and otherwise, have also been of interest that has led Pasillas to score and design sound for special interest documentaries.

A very promising debut CD
author: Shelley
I received this CD as a gift from a friend. At first I thought this might not be the type of music I usually would like. (I thought Rock/Pop is no longer my vibe as it used to be.) But as I listened to it, the songs surprised me with their wide range of styles, wonderful mixture of different elements, and there are some impressingly beautiful melodies that just linger in my mind. I found myself coming back to the songs again and again. "Nothing Is Sacred" is definitely one of my favorite. "Mia" begins with breathtakingly beautiful clarity, and the vocal blends in later with such sweetness that is has a touch of nostalgic yearning for an idyllic moment. Volano is a very promising debut CD. I'd love to see what comes next.

Vision of Lasting Divine
author: Sallee
180 degrees from the typical compilation where every song sounds basically the same, this CD is a well-rested melting pot of styles, flavors, and feelings that keeps me coming back for more.
Vision of Lasting Divine is not only my favorite, but also one of my favorite tunes of all time.
The Wounded Table simply put me in trans: I came about & found myself staring at something.
All I need now is La Llorona, you little ******* *****!
