Miradas

Miradas

Miradas contains 14 instrumental pieces using elements of neoclassical music, folk, electronic, pop and world music, returning to a style similar to “A New Horizon”, in which soundscapes with nylon-string guitars, the violin and flute predominate. In addition to simple melodies and arpeggios for guitar and themes with ethnic percussions, as a novelty I wanted to give a more “pop” and “fusion” touch to some passages, introducing the real drums in 5 of the songs.

About "MIRADAS"...

It is not what you say. What is important is what you want to express. It is not so much about what we see but about how we want to see it.
Music allows us to look without looking, to look within, and pause to look calmly, in harmony with nature, or to observe, from within, the gaze of the other, perceive reality with their gaze.
Thanks to music it is possible to look again without thinking, without words -as a child does. We feel that we can look beyond what we are used to seeing, with our inner brightness, and discover that there is only one light and infinite ways of looking.

Written by MIGUEL PRADOS.

Miradas is my fourth music album. I composed the songs included in this work at different times in my musical career, between 1991 and 2019. The virus paralyzed our lives and interrupted the audiovisual project "Soundscapes" on which I had been working for months, so it was the weeks of confinement in 2020 and everything I experienced in them that led me to embark on this project. The challenges have been to work on the musical production and arrangements (in which NACHO SERRANO has collaborated), updating some compositions and demos that had not yet been released and organizing the face-to-face and remote recordings.
