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

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:

I'm thinking of installing a chat there and schedule maybe one day a week.

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

Priscilla Hernandez sculpted as a doll by FANTASIATION
I admit i've been all my life running away from the Barbie image, but I'm absolutely thrilled by the amazing work this talented young artist has made. I've been sculpted into a little statue by the talented doll-maker ALBA GARCÍA from www.fantasiation.com. It arrived my birthday and it's been the most wondrous and amazing gift. About 40 cms in height it features me with one of my usual dresses on stage and raven wings :) (like the ghost costume in my concert set) and it's been sculpted with throrough detail. Alba is taking commissions and is very talented, be sure to check her website here.
