"In the images that I keep inside my head, a reading product of
newspapers, on the corner of the memory of lost things, I was struck by the image of the Roman statue found in an excavation some years ago.
It was a picture of a teenager who flexed his body in a slight
run, and whose head, eyes emptied by the time of closure between the womb of mother earth, has wings attached to her hair that seemed to fly with the race, frozen in time.
They said it inspired and unleashed the imagination just before falling into the sleep, so necessary to our species.
We are surprised by solving the problems of our waking time, and as a joke, when we resolved it, makes us relax, forgetting the solution at the time we wake up ..."
“En las imágenes que conservo en mi cabeza, producto de la lectura de periódicos, en el rincón de la memoria de las cosas perdidas, me asaltó la imagen de la estatuilla romana encontrada hace años en una excavación.
Era una figura de un adolescente que flexionaba su cuerpo en una ligera carrera, y cuya cabeza, de ojos vaciados por el tiempo de encierro entre el útero de la madre tierra, conservaba unas alas adosadas a su melena que parecía ondearse con la carrera, congelada por el tiempo.
Decían que inspiraba y desataba la imaginación justo antes de caer en el sueño reparador, tan necesario a nuestra especie.
Nos sorprende solventando los problemas de nuestro tiempo de vigilia, y como una broma, una vez resueltos, nos hace descansar, aunque no recordemos la solución al despertar...”

Rafael: Electric guitar, acoustic, bouzouki, synthesizer, electric bass.
Manoel: Electric guitars, e-bow and acoustic.
New releases by Manoel Macía always are a sure thing - 100% certainty that you'll get the best of the best symphonic rock with lots of lush guitar and synth arrangements, featuring perpetually flowing melodies and chords, which Manoel Macía is renowned for. It's totally unpredictable what will follow next within a track. If you like this album, try "La noche escalonada" and "Infinito", too - you will be royally pleased. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
Manoel Macía's latest work at the time of this writing is an epic 39-minute instrumental suite, celebrating all of the exquisite sounds that can be created with guitars, mandolins, and synths. This album is restless in the most positive meaning of the word - that is, it never stays for too long with a theme, but moves on perpetually to great new ideas. I recommend to put on your "Anthony Phillips ears" to listen to this music. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
