about

"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


Sobre el Proceso:



Todo empezó no hace mucho, cuando tenía 16 años. Le conté la historia de "Es así" a una niña y me pidió que la escribiera. Lo hice, pero nunca la publiqué. Hace aproximadamente un año decidí traducir la historia para crear una versión en inglés. Daniel Francis-Berenson, el actor y locutor, a quien escucharán en "As it is", me ayudó con la traducción. Nos tomó unos días terminarla y luego se la enviamos al artista, David Bernson, quien la leyó y nos ayudó a darle los toques finales. Después de esto solo tuvimos que grabarla, pero como estábamos trabajando en otros proyectos no lo hicimos. Unos meses después, mientras estaba en la cocina, las primeras melodías de "The Two Kingdoms" empezaron a sonar en mis oídos, con esos trucos que sólo la musa puede hacer. Dejé de fregar los platos y encendí la computadora para comenzar a grabar; no tuve tiempo de escribir la música, solo toqué todos los arreglos de cada instrumento, directamente en el teclado, asignando los sonidos a medida que los cantaba, para sacar las ideas de mi cabeza ... Fue como un torrente imparable de melodías, y así, después de 2 o 3 días de intenso trabajo, tenía frente a mí la pieza "Los dos reinos". Casi como por arte de magia, todo tenía sentido. Finalmente llegó el momento de grabar la voz en off. Cuando terminamos, mezclé y mastericé el proyecto, que espero, escuchen, disfruten y compartan con sus amigos.

Gracias Mil


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
