A laptop surrounded by some audio gear (speakers and keyboard), and my hand holding a guitar in the foreground.

I've been offline from this account for a whole month. I'm working hard on multiple fronts related to Umbría and I'm truly excited for what's to come. I'm just not good at staying online.

If your baroque instrument is 1'85m long, beware of ceiling fans. I'm sending my luthier some pictures of the damaged neck of my theorb as I write this. Big Fuck.

Nothing yet, I'm still a newbie with this thing but it will definitely make an appearance at Umbría at some point 👌🏻

ENTREVISTA A UMBRÍA Por: Hyacintho Sol Escuchar Umbría es como cruzar el ropero mágico de Narnia. De inmediato entras en un mundo de fantasía cuyos bosques, valles y grutas te cautivan con la primera escucha, pero par…

I was interviewed by Hyacintho from the Ítaca blog. Here's a nice wall of text about the project, some influences and the #DungeonSynth scene (Spanish, I guess the chrome translation will be fine enough?)

La presión de no sólo hacer arte sino además tener que exponerte y venderte es horrible. Los algoritmos convierten el arte en contenido y a los artistas en meros productores.
Si todo esto te genera malestar, enhorabuena: probablemente tengas mucho más de artista que de creadora de contenidos 🙂✨

Igualmente, hablar contigo fue un chute de motivación y buen rollo ✨ ¡Ánimo a ti también y un abrazo!

Print of a black and white illustration of Thulsa Doom helm, from Conan the Barbarian.

Just bought this from @cardaver.bsky.social and instantly got 3 points on my barbarian skill tree 🗡️

Another sketch from Irene Lazuen, this time for the cover of Homecomer, my fourth album. To my taste, this one ended up being the most beautiful physical edition of an Umbría album yet. #DungeonSynth

V, by Darken Wood 8 track album

Giving a spin to Darken Wood discography again. This one and III are probably among the most beautiful albums I've listened in the whole DS scene ever 🌲

Echoes for Eons: The Best Synthesizer Music of 2024 At the start of 2025, I took to social media and uploaded a chart of my favourite synth releases from last year and subsequently said nothing else whatsoever thanks to the invention of the characte…

My first article in 11 months has been published!

Presenting: Very short write-ups on twenty of my favourite dungeon synth releases of 2024. I left out so many, but I had to cut it down or this article would've gone on for bloody ages.

Listening to this album while walking home under the rain was one of the best moments of the week.

2017, I was exploring the Atmospheric Black Metal Albums channel in YouTube and I got amazed by first Ephemeral Landscapes EP. Hard to decide a current favorite project honestly, but some of my long term references are Chaucerian Myth, Arsule, Darken Wood, Scriptor Hiberniae, Inoriand, Fogweaver...

Black and white illustration by Irene Lazuen of the cover of The Rime Pathways, before adding details and color. It shows two elder women with maskes crossing a winter landscape, one of them riding a giant goat.

I asked Irene Lazuen if I could share this sketch she sent me for the cover of The Rime Pathways. I can't describe how rewarding it's to work with someone so passionate about her commissions, and I truly believe a huge part of this album's magic comes right from her doing ✨

Having you here would have been great. We have another concert in Barcelona on March 8th, Weress and Crysalidis. You're so invited!

I don't have pictures of the Quest Master performance, but it was honestly awesome. Being able to attend such a high quality gig in my own town was truly a privilege.
