Dr. Fernando Siles, originally from Peru, has been playing the quena, a native Peruvian wood flute, for over 15 years. In addition to having played with a traditional Peruvian flute ensemble, "Expresiones" from the Dallas, TX area, he has also been using his music as a therapy tool in his practice as a psychiatrist. Now living in Plano , Texas, Dr. Siles has a thriving family counseling practice and is a staff doctor at Glen Oaks Psychiatric Hospital in Greenville, Texas. He has seen much success in helping patients with visualization / music therapy. Major psychiatric breakthroughs such as help with anxiety disorders, lifting of depression, and even the integration of multiple personalities, have occurred after listening to his original music.

Dr. Fernando Siles, aka the "flute doctor", has just released his debut CD, "Peruvian Soul" on the indie Through It All Music label in the Dallas / Ft. Worth metro area. This cutting edge New Age / Ambient album is best described as " 'Egnigma' meets 'a peruvian wood flute player.' " Reflected in the name "Peruvian Soul," is it's use of traditional Peruvian flute melodies, riffs and rhythms mixed with American pop, rock & soul back beats and chord progressions. It's rich textures and lush sound will relax and invigorate the listener at the same time. In the vein of traditional new age music many nature sounds and natural instruments are used, but the music also pushes beyond stereotypical "meditation music" with the integration of more complex melodies and harmonies. The average "new age listener' will like it, however many people who do not typically listen to that genre of music will find "Peruvian Soul" an interesting and refreshing take on instrumental music as well.
