Summary:Mi Vida Bonita, or "My Beautiful Life", was inspired by my experiences after almost losing my life in a car accident. This album is meant to interpret the ups and downs of my experiences through music, and though there were defintely bad times, there was always beauty found within both the positive and negative. From the negative we become stronger and from the positive we are encouraged. As you are taken through the journey of my beautiful life, I am sure you will hear some of the beauty that encompasses your own life. God Bless!
Recording Process:
The entire album was recorded in our in home studio using the Digidesign 001, Protools software, and Reason in Protools. We stereo miced using Shure 57s, and for the room mic we used the Rodes NT1-A. We also used the Focusright mic pre-amp. Every part was written and played by me.
Track 1: Mi Vida Bonita, "My Beautiful Life": contains three parts, all played on classical guitar. These three parts consist of rhythm, bass, and melody.
Track 2: Sonando, "Dreaming": the rhythmic guitar is played on an acoustic and the solo is played on a hollow-body electric.
Track 3: Alivio, "Relief": consists on guitar and piano. The piano maintains the rhythm and bass while the classical guitar solos.
Track 4: Salida Del Sol, "Sunrise": this is a quartet consisting of bass, rhythm, and harmonizing melodies. Each part was played with classical guitar.
Track 5: Amante, "Lover": this song features piano and classical guitar. Each instrument alternates between accompaniament and melody.
Track 6: Anochecer, "Nightfall": this song is all piano. A minuet feel that maintains the dreamy atmosphere of the rest of the album.
