About the release:
"Toda mi vida he tratado de componer imágenes y contar historias, historias desde la emoción que nos generan los espacios. Todos y todas somos parte de la realidad que habita el ensueño, esa sensación de vacío lleno de pequeños detalles, imperceptibles y difusos, pero absolutamente necesarios."
Arema Arega
It all started not so long ago, when I was 16 years old. I told the story of "Es así" to a girl and she asked me to write it. I did it, but I never published it. About a year ago I decided to translate the story to create an English version. Daniel Francis-Berenson, the actor and voice over, who you will hear on "As it is" helped me with the translation. It took a few days to finish it and then we sent it to the artist, David Bernson, who read it and helped us put the finishing touches on it. After this we only had to record it, but as we were working on other projects we didn't. A few months later, while I was in the kitchen, the first melodies of "The Two Kingdoms" began to ring in my ears, with those tricks that only the muse can do. I just stopped scrubbing the plates and turned on the computer to start recording; I didn't have time to write the music, I just played all the arrangements of each instrument, directly on the keyboard, assigning the sounds as I was singing them, to get the ideas out of my head... It was like an unstoppable stream of jumping melodies, and so after 2 or 3 days of intense work, I had in front of me the piece "The Two Kingdoms". Almost like magic, everything made sense. Now it was finally time to record the voiceover. When we finished, I mixed and mastered the project, which I hope you will listen to, enjoy and share with your friends.
Many Thanks
