still learning lap dulcimer... i'm the worst player every but i'm determined. I'll get a capo as self gift for my birthday which is coming soon. I'm going to be at Barcelona (home quiet home) all december resting and that leaves me a little more time to be in internet and be in touch with you all. I'll making a few more minipaintings (The observer is the only one left available in my fanclub) for sale.

I'd like to get a cheap cello cos my friend Sveta is offering free classes. It's not that I want to make the expense but i'm seriously considering it. Still on my list to "I want to have" things there is the waterphone and theremin though ! LOL
Working at good pace in the Underliving after a break :). I have the definitive track list :) that's a good thing to see the end of it.

I also wanted to share a few fan art drawings i've got lately, I'm sharing one here, made by illustrator Esther Sanz and that features me and Medusa Dollmaker (another fellow illustrator) so a fantasy illustrator portraying two fantasy illustrators, that's way cool isn't it!!?





just a quick reminder that i've re-caught twitter
http://twitter.com/yidneth
but that i'm mostly active on facebook (more than here, unfortuantely have not time for updating everything)

Yay, back from our trip to USA, all concerts delivered with success... had inmense fun with FAUN and WOODLAND and all the other bands and artists. There are a wealth of pictures of the events at
http://www.faeriecon.com

On the other hand a listener (and also friend) Poe and his wife Amelia gifted me a lap dulcimer... I have no idea about how to play it, but it's fun and i've been a week investigating so starting to scratch some sounds out of it :), just give me a few months. It looks pretty, and though traditional repertoire on this instrument doesn't fit with my music much, the sound is lovely and i'm starting to adapt it to my own way of composing, I already am composing a little ballad called "a fading thought at the dream's door"
here's a pic of the instrument, very excited, we don't have it in spain! so yay, a new challenge


 Also here's a pic (first of a very special photosession with Kelly Miller-Lopez (singer and harpist from Woodland) my wolf-pack sister, portrayed as Snowhite and Rose Read from the fairytale.




Finally, I made a set of minipaintings for selling in the faeriecon, they've all found new owners :) but there's one left and it's now listed on sale.

On the other hand I wanted to share a video of my first live performance with the dulcimer, audio is terrible, and got behind the pc, but i'm newbie, newcomer, and a messy beginner with the hammered dulcimer and I felt proud that I DARED to bring it on stage. :). Voice was far from perfect cos I was a bit in panic playing the instrument self :) but yay I did it, and this is "away (reprise)" that it's only played in our live performances

this is the link

I also found this video that features a little exerpt of "northern lights" a song that is featured in our forthcoming album The Underliving. Actually i'm not very fond of the fact is in a youtube video with a terrible sound from a camera LOL, but it was nicely recorded by a webzine called "la katana amarilla" in the performance  s it's up in an account that is not mine, so if you're curious, as it's not released material, there's a bit of (lofi sounding) northern lights here

Sorry, i've been out of myspace a while
now i need to handle some time to approve the new friend requests and check the inbox so be patient....
so as it's bee a little time i'm not here i'll put in brief the latest happenings and things up to come!! :)


was awarded best rising talent in music (imagina malaga) will be collecting the award next 23th in Malaga (more info soon)

I won too the BEST NEW AGE ALBUM AND BEST AMBIENT SONG in the JPFOLKS music awards (Nashville) last 29 of august, yayyyy that was unexpected and great for me :)

I attended as performer to the Estepona film festival :) had a cool time, met Dolph Lungren :) (he..s cute) will post some pictures soon.

We..re not making many concerts as I'm recording (very slowly with my little funds) and not really plannign much on the live scene. We..re looking for someone to help us in this matter as i'm far beyond my possibilities in this  area.

I'll also have to look for new musicians to replace in order to make a permanent band, this will take me a while, so MUSICIANS IN BARCELONA interested in my project  please contact me (looking for  tin whistle/flute  percussion violin harp and guitar), if any a girl with a suitable voice for backing tracks the better
