Back from UK FAERY FEST and FAERY BALL and other random things to keep you up to date...
I'm back! We were half a month in a mini tour in england enjoying the sun there, the 3 faery wishes festival in Cornwall and the urban faery ball in London... Hector has posted a few pics of our holidays/tour here though I'm preparing a collection myself that I'll share soon. I came back with a new a beautiful instrument a BOWED PSALTERY :)!!! and some feather in my hair (thanks Lisa!). I met also to listeners Franziska and Laura that we only knew online which was sweet (thanks Franziska for the pendants and necklace, and laura for the bracers and lace choker) :)
Also some new pics of Totonika have been posted here
I updated my blog about fantasy costuming yourfantasycostume.com and I'm intending to post quite a lot of entries there the following days.
Thanks once more to Gerry Henkel from kantele.com for sending me a gig bag for my kantele. :) Now the instrument is officially recorded in "in the mist" the closing credits track of the new upcoming album.
Right now back recording "The Underliving" intending to make a fundraising during summer to release it before the closing of the year if possible. I'm also making a little score for new LISA STOCK'S short movie TITANIA´S PREQUEL. You can watch the official trailer (already featuring my music) here:
Just found out also I had an unread novel "Carnacky the ghost finder" by Hodgson... one of my favourite writers so unread book is all a treasure.
Back taming my jouhikko and retuned also my lap dulcimer to keep on learning... I have a friend that has made a baritone model for me and might endorse it, but I´ll post more about that once confirmed.
There´s also a new VIP CONTEST, we´re giving away a free copy of "SEASONS IN ELFLAND" by WOODLAND, I collaborate in two of the tracks with vocals, Hector in one of the tracks with piano, and other fellows like Louisa John Krol and Faun too... So give it a chance and try to win your free copy here
I'm listing a few pendants and paintings the following days...
My friend Lisa Stock's fundraising for shooting TITANIA
My friend Lisa Stock will be shooting a prequel to her long planned fantasy movie Titania next early june, thus she made a fundraising (promoted even by author Neil Gaiman) to be able to cover the expenses for filming such prequel. I'll be contributing myself with a little song (a reprise of my old song "flying" specially designed for the trailer). I collaborated with her previously in the short movie "Brother and Sister"
There are only a few days left to go and she needs to archieve the goal to be able to collect the money.

I'm planning aobut making a fundraising for Underliving later in the summer
TOTONIKA IS BACK AND ALIVE
Last week we were undone, she was missing through a duct... we thought her dead, did whatever we could, but after no signal in an accesible, cold and empty space within the facade of the building we lost all hope
but she's back and alive and yes TOTONIKA IS THE CUTEST HAMSTER EVER still and for a long long time more!!! we cried so much and were so worried, thanks for coming back to us!
Totonika's amazing story can be read in Hector's blog
I'm so happy beyond words!!
Totonika wants to be my new band member
she loves the lap dulcimer and have good attitude!
Thanks the ones who listed me here
I found this by random search, first thanks to the ones that listed me, also thanks to the ones who voted... feel free to post your review
Random thoughts and things
My friend and guitarrist Gaston Iungman is coming tomorrow to visit :). It's been a couple of years we don't see each other (he recorded electric guitar in "Nightmare" song). He'll collaborate in a few tracks of the new album. I'm excited about it, and also to share some tea time with a friend again.
My sweet brother German is also visiting late this week :) I miss him so much!! He's always been the handsome of the family and so clever, fun and nice. I thank him also to be the most supportive of my family regarding my carreer, to the point that he may try to sing a few lines for a couple of my songs...! :) I wish he would decide to move to Barcelona :(. All my family live just too far away.
The new hamster is now officially named Totonika Nova :) and she's a cute little thing. She enjoyes broccoli like crazy and is a lovely excuse to make us laugh and smile at dinner time. But she's a bit crazy and always try to jump from heights when we let her be a bit on her own. It's been many years since my last hammie, but It feels great to have something breathing and alive by your side while you work.
I keep on studying the kantele, I was doing it all wrong so i'm trying to get the proper technique now. I really need to invest a little time to look for band members for next year. We´ré back being only three in the ensemble and I need a percussionist quite urgently... sigh! I'd like to find another girl for the backing vocals specialy if she plays violin or guitar... but i'm not sure if focusing in it right now as I may move soon. Investigating the "youhikko" as I may get one soon. Looks difficult but much more affordable than a nickelarpa. Probably it will sound like a screaming cat first year in my hands but I think it's time for learning some bowed string.
I do send an apology to all my friends for not being so much in touch lately.
Weather is getting nicer... time for long walks!
Learning new instruments is fun!!! and participating in a internet tv miniseries
I absolutely love the sound of my Kantele (thanks once more to Gerry Henkel for building mine. It's amazing how a simple thing can sound so heavently. I composed my first improvisation with it, and I've decided to give it a proper shape into an interlude called "into the mist".
Been also playing like crazy the lap dulcimer (I never played guitar so this one has been hard for me in terms of learning to strum and keep rhythm) but I feel now i'm getting to a poing I can make simple arrangements while I sing and It's so fun. Thank you to Poe and Amelia for this wonderful gift (and congrats on your baby!!) and also to Ron Ewing for the advice to learn to play (your capo looks and work wonderfully on it)!! Of course hammered dulcimer is not deserted and I keep some time a day also with my flutes and the oscar hank drum. It's crazy but I may expend hours practising till my dingers go achy. But I'm glad to have had some time to do this (even if it all looks quiet regarding activity). I needed some time to polish, to study and to approach to new things in my music. I'm starting to study theory too, never did as I'm self taught, but at some point I guess I had to have some background.
I leave you with a pic of me with my double ocarina (the hardest flute I have in terms of playing but also the most special). It was made by Charlie Hind from and it's a brain trainer, believe me. This lovely dress was endorsed by el Costurero Real and the photography was taken by Sebastià Paragolas a week ago for a local magazine. It's sort of a test picture too as I'm performing in the Opening credits of a internet broadcasted independent tv miniseries called "El Cordial de Medianoche" (inspired in the XV century it mixes historical elements with fairytales storytelling) + info coming soon here:
El Cordial de Medianoche
I'm thinking of installing a chat there and schedule maybe one day a week.
In the top 10 most listened artists from the canary islands.... thinking about it
Ok , I honestly am clueless about last fm, and in fact i'm splitted in different profiles with or without accent, the official is the one precisely picked in this article, but still there are other two or three profiles that should be mingled with this one.
Still I was regretting the other day that I'VE NEVER been invited to play in the Canary Islands, i've been in UK, germany, USA and even there is chance to go to Asia in brief... but in my own native islands I remain let's say UNKNOWN
well this made me feel nice... according to the article i'm in the top ten most listened artists from the islands, mingles with some MAJOR acts from there. Push me up, it will make feel better (even if it sounds a little bit vengeful LOL hahaha)
love you all!!

Back from FAERIECON!
Ok, just a quick note to tell you that I had a great time in FAERIECON (USA). We made two concerts with Woodland, and also I performed in the bad faery ball and made an accoustic unplugged set the day after. It was way fun and the room was crazy opening to a lobby where all bands (woodland, Faun and myself) made parties and jammed all night long (and still performing the following days). We went also to Oregon a few days and on our way back we collected a gift from two listeners (Poe and Amelia) that hosted us for our last night and gave to me a precious lap dulcimer that I'm intending to learn.
There's a gallery of the event already in faeriecon website. Though I'll make a selection and will put a few here and a more complete zip file for the vip later on
