Bosques De Mi Mente, Inocencia


Spain, 2009.

"Inocencia (Innocence) is my fourth studio album, a conceptual set of pieces intended to be listened as a whole. The concept is both musical and philosophical and is inspired by a specific book (I hope you can guess which one). For this release, I have decided to get away a bit from the minimalism of my previous releases and play more with post-romantic compositions, electronic, circuit-bending, noise and even some IDM. I think this is the most uplifting and cheerful release I have done so far, thanks in part to my situation while I composed the album, definitely better than by the time of “Ruido Blanco”."

Playlist:

1. Es un sombrero
2. Dibujame un cordero
3. Caido del cielo
4. No se ver corderos a Través de Cajas, Habré Envejecidot

8. Los tigres no comen hierba
9. Pero ella no le contesto
10. Todos los hombres son subditos
11. Golpea tus manos una contra otra
12. Botellas vacias, botel
13. 501,622,731 Estrellas
14. Una vuelta por minuto
15. Yo soy geografo dijo el señor viejo
16. El septimo planeta fue, pues, la tierra
17. Delgado como un dedo
18. Los hombres no tienen
19. Estoy solo, respondio el eco
20. Y, tendido en la hierba, lloro
21. No hay nada perfecto
22. Solo los niños saben lo que buscan
23. Andaria despacito hacia una fuente
24. Lo mas importante es invisible
25. Los ojos estan ciegos
26. Tu tendras estrellas que saben reir
27. Mirad al cielo, preguntaos...
