At the end of 2006 Oskar Villarreal (guitar) and Tonio Tejeda, met Armando "Bjorn" Thamez (bass) when an old friend (Uriel Salinas) wanted to reunite members for a band called Erógena which Oskar and Tonio were part of back in 2003. Armando was very interested in this project. They started auditioning singers and Dulce Robles was selected from a group of excellent singers. Immediately they started composing some music and basic structures for the songs at Oskar’s home studio. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Vitruvius">Read more on Last.fm</a>

Quotes

• “Owing to this favor I need to have no fear of want to the end of my life, and being thus laid under obligation I began to write this work for you, because I saw that you have built and are now building extensively, and that in future also you will take care that our public and private buildings shall be worthy to go down to posterity by the side of your other splendid achievements.”
• “The architect should be equipped with knowledge of many branches of study and varied kinds of learning, for it is by his judgement that all work done by the other arts is put to test. This knowledge is the child of practice and theory.”
• “Architects who have aimed at acquiring manual skill without scholarship have never been able to reach a position of authority to correspond to their pains, while those who relied only upon theories and scholarship were obviously hunting the shadow, not the substance. But those who have a thorough knowledge of both, like men armed at all points, have the sooner attained their object and carried authority with them.”
• “In all matters but particularly in architecture ...that which is signified is the subject of which we may be speaking and that which gives significance is a demonstration on scientific principles. ...One who professes himself an architect should be well versed in both directions.”
• “Neque enim ingenium sine disciplina aut disciplina sine ingenio perfectum artificem potest efficere.”
• “Let him [who would be an architect] be educated, skillful with the pencil, instructed in geometry, know much history, have followed the philosophers with attention, understand music, have some knowledge of medicine, know the opinions of the jurists, and be acquainted with astronomy and the theory of the heavens.”
