Artist History MentalBreakdown was created in the Fall of 2000. It started when two friends, Ed Anthonis and Paul Cortez got together one day and started improvising on a Fatar and an Alesis sound mod. What they created that night was just a taste of the new music that mentalbreakdown is attempting to achieve. Most of the initial songs were improvisations with themes created after the songs were finished. "It's very simple really," says co-founder Paul Cortez, "We created music in the moment of inspiration, which took us on a spiritual and mental journey, then we made our own stories to the songs and tacked on a title, and sub-titles to explain the different stations of the song. Since that night Mental Breakdown has sought to expand it's directions without fear of ridicule or acceptance. "We can only create what we are feeling in the moment of creation, it's not up to us to judge. Some will love it, and some will not understand it, but we as artists must always create." -pc
