Thank you Mahi!!

That's the perfect way to say it

Hope you had a merry Christmas too, and I wish you a happy New Year

Happy New Year everybody!!

And of course, let's start it with music

This is an old song I did back in 2010 and now I recorded it again with a new arrangement. It's called Hacia las Nubes, which can be translated as To the Clouds or Up to the Clouds. It's inspired in The Hobbit, and the first part of Bilbo and the Dwarves' journey.

And if you want to compare it to the older version:

Hmm, I see a notable difference sir

I told you I was going to make it better

As (another) reminder to those who haven't listened to it yet, here's another song from my second album

This link has a d/l of a high production value version of 'Twilight of the Gods".  I am clueless about Wagner and Norse mythology @ this is a great glimpse into their world.

It is clear to me that key story components from Lord of the Rings are probably borrowed from this tale.  The ring as a mcguffin, the obsession over it, etc.

^ I'm downloading a reader for Mac, so I hope I'll take a look at it soon.

The title at least looks interesting. It has been widely used in music too, specially in Metal, aside from Wagner.

I don't know how much Tolkien took directly from Wagner's work, but he did borrowed lots of elements from Norse and Germanic mythology. The Ring thing probably has to do with the Nibelung Ring, which in turn takes a lot from Germanic mythology too. But I'm not sure how direct the relation between The Lord of the Rings and the Nibelung story is.

And another one from the album that I uploaded on Youtube:

Portador de la Luz   (Bearer of the Light)

And it goes with another reminder to those who haven't given the album a listen yet

Here it's the whole thing:

Abismos del Tiempo

^ Guilty, I'm on it now though

^ Good to know 

And here's another, just one more to go:

Gondolin

This is the last song I wrote for the album, and certainly the most complex of them.

The whole album: Abismos del Tiempo

I read the first one of these and it looks good! The art is excellent and the story looks good too. I don't know how accurate it is though since I haven't read Wagner's text, just references and summaries of it.

Amigo I'm eating more of your blueberries

If there is any shortage of blueberries here, now I know why
