When I was 15, I began my musical search for what I could consider of my own, first creating little ideas and later on composing my own songs. After some years developing my music, I resolved that I wanted to do something with it, and so I decided that one day I would compile my songs in a project called “Inside my colours”. Since it is a very ambitious project, I knew that in order to carry it out, with all the orchestration and ideas involved in it, I needed great amounts of time, effort, patience and, of course, money. Meanwhile, I´ve had the chance to record my songs, only with the guitar (except one of them), in this first album, as they would be heard in a concert, since the absence of the accompanying instruments does not leave my music senseless. Therefore, since this album is what I consider to be the first step in my project, I decided it would be a sketch of what it should be in the future, and so I named it “One colour sketched”. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did throughout its realization.
Cuando tenía 15 años comencé a buscar algo que sintiera mío en la música, y con ello a componer pequeñas ideas y posteriormente mis propios temas. Tras años desarrollando mis composiciones decidí que quería hacer algo con ellas, y es así como me propuse que algún día elaboraría un proyecto al que llamaría “Dentro de mis colores” (Inside my colours). Al ser un proyecto muy ambicioso, entendí que para llevarlo a cabo, con toda la orquestación e ideas que tenía, debería dedicarle mucho tiempo, esfuerzo, paciencia y, cómo no, dinero. Entre tanto, surgió esta oportunidad de llevar mis composiciones, sólo a guitarra (a excepción de una de ellas), a un primer disco, tal como se escucharían al verme tocar en directo. Ya que no por no tener el resto de la orquestación tenían menos sentido. Por ello, siendo éste el que considero un primer paso en mi proyecto, decidí que sería un boceto de lo que debería ser en un futuro, y lo titulé “Un color esbozado” (One colour sketched). Espero que disfruten de él tanto como yo disfruté en su realización.
