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.

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!!

Entre los 10 artistas más escuchados en last FM... reflexión

Honestamente no sé bien como funciona last fm, pero me sorprendió verme entre los diez artistas canarios má´s escuchados entre artistas firmados por grandes sellos. Sin embargo en reflexión, tras haber tocado en USA, alemania, UK y diversas localidades españolas, me da un poco de pena que nunca se me haya invitado a mi propia tierra. Esperemos que ocurra pronto.

One of a kind 40x30mm cameo with ORIGINAL PAINTING: Priestress fairy

in
30,00€

This is one of a kind. An original minipainting "Priestress fairy" handpainted by myself with ink and mounted in an antique silver-plated cameo. Overall color is black, sepia blue-gray, it has a warm quality to it.  The most affordable way to get an original of mine and you can wear it too!!. Photo is a bit light, the drawing shows more vibrant and stunning in natural. Due to the process these cameo are made, some bubble or imperfections may appear but that's the uniqueness precisely.The cameo is rather big (40x30 mm) to showcase the original painting protected by an acrylic transparent cabochon featuring an altive fairy with a feather hat. Cameo comes  with a chain but will acapt easily into a  shorter choker. As it's handpainted there will never be two originals of the same kind!, any use of this drawing would be a reproduction and not the original anymore so Go and grab it now! certified as original by the artist. Available at this price only for a limited time. Remember the drawing inside IS NOT A REPRODUCTION, it's a truely original All other cameos or reproductions  with this drawing will be reproductions, this is the very and unique handpainted original.

 

Este colgante es único y lleva una mini-pintura original pintada a mano por mí misma sobre un colgante tipo camafeo antiguo con un colgante en forma de hoja. En general el dibujo es de tinta negra, marrón y gris azulado,  algo cálido. Es la forma más asequible de conseguir un original mío y además puedes llevarlo puesto. La foto no le hace justicia y es mucho más vibrante al natural y algo más contrastado. Lleva pintada un hada altiva y se llama "hada sacerdotisa" y como el propio camafeo lleva la pintura original nunca habrá dos iguales, cualquier otro con este dibujo sería ya una reproducción y no el original. El óvalo del colgante es bastante grande (40x30 mm) para mostrar con más claridad la pintura que está protegida con una piedra acrílica transparente y plana para que no haga efecto lupa.Cómpralo ya y lleva un diseño exclusivo en tu cuello y certificado como original por la propia artista. Disponible a este precio sólo por un tiempo limitado. Recordad que el dibujo en el interior no es una reproducción, es un original ÚNICO  (NO ES UNA REPRODUCCIÓN) y firmado por la artista.
