i'll go to collect my award as "best rising talent in music", the ceremony will take place next 23th of October in Málaga, Spain.
among the guests you'll find Colin Arthur (he  created Fújur (falkor) from the neverending story), illustrators Luis Royo and Cris Ortega, and me, among others. I'll be signing a little while in the con self, and will be around also in the awards ceremony where most likely i'll perform one song

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

The video is phenomenal Priscilla, outstanding. And playing a dulcimer while singing? Guitar and keyboards yes but to that? Incredible..

thanks Gregg, I do know the singing in this one has tons of weak points, I was way too concentrated in the dulcimer cos it was my first time with the instrument on stage and also they couldn't put it in the monitor (though it had enough volume for me to hear as it sounds loud). I normally play piano, or whistle or flutes, but i'm a totally newcomer of this instrument that I got gifted by some friends last xmas. I really don't have instructional material and dulcimer is not well known in spain, so there are no others to learn it, but I found the layout pretty logical and started to mess with it. It's fun, of course I'm far from being skilled at it, but it was quite a challenge for me.
the second video is "northern lights" one of the Underliving songs, I'm playing low whistle which I'm learning too, I got it also last year. A fan is going to gift me now a lap dulcimer and my cellist is offering some cello classes, going to end like an orchestra woman, not mastering any instrument at all but messing with staff, but for me learning is so fun, that even if the cd is going slow and fundless i'm really happy I have at least the chance to express myself, to evolve, to learn, to improve and to enjoy it :)
