On the other hand I have a phone interview featured in the new Radio Mystic podcast interviewed by Pete Havey

Second RADIO MYSTIC podcast, featuring interviews also to fellow new age artists eatured interviews are with KORI CAROTHERS, DAVID LANZ, TIM MCGOWAN, JILLIAN AVERSA, HEATH VERCHER, ELU’s JEFF METTLING, PRISCILLA HERNANDEZ and JACE VEK (click the photos below to visit each artist online). WHAT a show this is gang – I know you’re gonna enjoy it – all of these artists are good sports, especially for subjecting themselves to my own personal brand of tortuous humor(!) Be sure to listen for Jillian Aversa’s EXCLUSIVE announcement about her brand new album, and also new album announcemens from practically everyone else

Well, you may all know that I like fantasy costumes... in fact I keep a blog about fantasy costumes called YOUR FANTASY COSTUME :) I created a while back to bookmark all the fancy things I like (or would long or crave to buy for my performances hahah). Anyway, as I'm an illustrator I like to draw and design garments... the problem was that despite making some crafts like crowns and some easy customizations I really never had any skill for sewing... yes... not even a button or fixing a sock!!  But last month my friend and designer Alassie (from El Costurero Real) encouraged me and a couple of friends to make a garment for ourselves to attend to her faerie birthday party and for a couple of weeks, all girls gathered on a weekly workshop :) to learn to make our own garment for the party... So it was FUN and we were busy bees and it was so lovely to see that we were creating our own dresses... I felt very accomplished and I know it´s my first and maybe not so perfect (almost hand-made too) but I had never done anything before so I was really proud.

Here´s a pic of my green dress... the skirt will now grow (cos a friend got me a sewing machine as a gift and I'm learning to make things easier) and I definately will make add bits to it, but this is how it looked like :)

I played a few songs with my hammered dulcimer (humble accoustic performance for really lovely friends) including some exerpts of tracks from the following album on the making "The Underliving". My friend Jorge Lamata joined with the guitar in a few... It was really cozy and personal.

and here´s a picture of the other girls and dressed they made for themselves... (by the way, some followed tutorials of making wings posted in your fantasy costume and they made a great work!)

 Above: some of the people attending with their fantasy costumes to the birthday party... isn´t it a cool idea? why not to spice your wedding or your anniversary or a friends meeting with some color, fantasy and fun! We all had a great time... so give it a try... it´s a good excuse to use your fantasy garments!

If you have an instrument that YOU DON'T PLAY and it's getting dust in a wall, consider to donate it to us and make it happy! :) I may get sound out of it!! If you think you have something we could use or play that is just there being an ornament in your attic (your old student violin, lever harp, drum, whichever... let us know) Of any device that could make a musical sound to sample, to have a replacemnt for travelling or simply to learn new things...  Consider to send a private message and donate it to our project.

Thanks to our  OFFICIAL  ENDORSing COMPANIES TOO:

Hind ocarina: double ocarina

Tribal thunder: oscar drum

Schatten pickups: pickups/di

Ron Ewing dulcimers:baritone dulcimer

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:

WATCH TITANIA PREQUEL TRAILER

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...
