Nous (/ˈnaʊs/), sometimes equated to intellect or intelligence, is a philosophical term for the faculty of the human mind which is described in classical philosophy as necessary for understanding what is true or real, similar in meaning to intuition. It is also often described as a form of perception which works within the mind ("the mind's eye"), rather than only through the physical senses. In philosophy, common English translations include "understanding" and "mind"; or sometimes "reason" and "thought". In colloquial British English, nous denotes "common sense", which is close to the original everyday meaning it had in Ancient Greece. Apart from referring to a faculty of the human mind, this philosophical concept has often been extended to describe the source of order in nature itself.

The first time I heard the term nous was like love at first sight. It got stuck in my head like a sign. And I thought, "This will be the name of my band." That was one of the best things I got from my time in high school. A few months later, I quit. I didn't want to go to university, because there was nothing that I could be interested in, but Arts. But that wasn't an option in my family... Luckily, I could do technical courses from time to time in order to be something in life. And when I wasn't studying, I was working anywhere I could -pizza delivery, forest ranger assistant, gardener, cardboard factory, sound technician, lifeguard, waiter...-



I needed to express my thoughts, but I was too shy. So I started to write songs at home at the age of 16... Until one day, my two older brothers and I got together to do some jam sessions and, after a year rehearsing, we began playing my own songs. I was already 20 years old. It's been more than 10 years since then, and yet today the story continues...
