About Me

First of all, it was the Essence. And the Essence engulfed me, And I felt safe.
Then, it all began: step by step by step...
i'mwi: i'mwi:
Summer 2000. IMWI was born as a musical project based basically on guitars. Its music tries to follow the Troubadours's Pilgrimage around this world of deeds, desires, delights, and this world of pain, sorrow and grief. What does he see ? What does he want to tell ?
Summer 2003. After two years on the path, two years of learning, practice and compositions, the first album arise: The Journey Of The Troubadour . It introduces the Troubador to the world and invites everyone to join his pilgrimage to somewhere else.
The same year, IMWI collaborates in Beyond the Horizon - a homage to 'And Also The Trees' - with a cover of "The Suffering Of The Stream". For more info about this musical tribute compilation, visit www.andalsothetrees.info .
Winter 2005. Another two years sharing visions and dreams with J and D, and another album came out of our womb: Diálogo de Sueños Three statues at our heads, three characters within ourselves, and four songs for each one of them: el Adivino, el Trovador, el Ahorcado.
Where is now the world we dared to meet before ?
Along 2006. The year is silent as the way of the travelldour goes across a desert of sounds. The sand is my bed of blankness. Words are not eager to jump over the walls to the heights. A few songs are collected, hymns about the poverty of the souls that dwell these lands, about lonesome beseekers of truth, shells or pires.
At the end of the year, when the winter was here, an invitation came from Poland, from one of the speakers of Kaos. He offered me to talk about Europa, about its essence, about its feelings. I slept in my sheath for a week and dreamt of this my Eutopia ... bending us down.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/3/2006
Band Members: IMWI had the pleasure to work with:
- J: , el Adivino
- D: , el Ahorcado

Influences: May the greatness of their music: follow me, And Also The Trees: / Dead Can Dance: / Death In June: / Sol Invictus: / Fields Of The Nephilim: / Joy Division: / Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: / In Gowan Ring: / Backworld: / Matt Howden: / Rome: / 16 Horsepower & Woven Hand: / Leonard Cohen: / Madredeus: / Westminster Abbey: / Phillip Glass:

May the words: of the poets embrace me, Baudelaire: / T.S. Eliot: / Dylan Thomas: / Herman Hesse: / Marcel Proust: . Or so many other stories I drank through my life, Poe: / Ellroy: / Bolaño: .

May the images: of those many places I travelled or discovered or imagined remain with me. May the pictures and the landscapes of so many artists inspire me, from the realities through the impressions to the abstractions.
Sounds Like: From classic neofolk with psychedelic scents and odours / over spanish fingerpicking roots and other european marches / trying to reach the obsessions and atmospheres of previous darkwaves. I prefer you listen and judge for yourself.
Type of Label: None
