Stratovarius Community

It's an album, 12 acoustic-folk rock songs. It's not heavy metal, but since I love Stratovarius, I wanted to share it here. It was a long, difficult but amazing process to record it. And with these words I want to share my experience, and try to motivate everyone to compose and record their own stuff, because when you put all your heart the result is luminous, no matter the quality of the product. Music is something else than that.

Jens participated playing piano in one track. That's something I appreciate a lot and he is a very special guest among many people that helped me a lot to get this project done.
I'm attaching a video for the song 'Aura' and links to the website (it's only in spanish for the moment), and Facebook page.

Thanks everyone, and welcome in case you want to take a look!

for the love of god what an amazing piece of music this is...

Beautiful stuff man, sounds like straight from the heart Aura vid is very nice as well, with such a song there's always a risk to have a vid seem cheesy, but I think you managed to avoid that by reducing it to a few main scenes in different views (hope you get what I mean, I don't know how to describe such things in the proper words)
I didn't quite get all the descriptions, did you compose all the songs by yourself, or did you share that part with your friends and family members?

Thank you man, it's very nice to read these words.
The video has only few scenes as you said, because it was not planned as a typical music video, it's something I did in memory of a friend.

I wrote all the songs of the album. I used to play them alone in my bedroom and one day I decided to record them somehow. The process was nomad/ home-made/small studio kind, but with help of many friends who joined and played or sung leaving their marks on the songs.

I'm very thankful and happy about how this process took shape, it really received good vibrations from everyone who participated. Jens plays piano in the track 'Sucede'. There are some songs in english and others in spanish.
