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.

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?)

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

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 ✨

Bringing about Arsule reminded me of this French #DungeonSynth compilation from 2018. It came to me in a moment when I was discovering the genre and it heavily influenced my first steps. The French scene was powerful back then and still is nowadays 🔥

I admire Arsule, the DS project from @marinefevrier.bsky.social, since I arrived to the scene before my first album. Having a place at her Top 2024 DS list is like a dream come true 🩵

To my fellow dungeon adventurers: how do you approach your new album/EP projects? Do you gather references for inspiration? Use any kind of "design document" before or during the process? Or get right into action?
