10th Anniversary & New Live Album

Posted on by

🤩 I’m excited to share that on October 6 the album ‘Década en Directo‘ will be released, featuring pieces performed live ✨🎶 You can pre-save it on Spotify here.

This year, 2025, marks 10 years since I began sharing the stage with Carmen (oboe) and Susana (cello). Over this time, different voices (Bea, Ana, Mar) and percussionists (Rubén, Sergi) have joined us on vocal and percussion pieces, rounding out the lineup.
It’s also the 10th anniversary of the En Directo 2015 album, born from that first concert.

With this new album, I want not only to remember and celebrate our story, but also to expand our live catalog by including pieces that joined the repertoire over these years and aren’t on the 2015 release.

The album includes six instrumental pieces and three vocal ones, with the following lineup:

Piano
Olga Bartolomé García
Oboe
Carmen Ruiz Revuelta
Cello
Susana Rico
Voice
Mar Cabello
Percussion
Sergi Perales

This time, although it’s a live recording, I chose not to include the applause at the end of the pieces so nothing distracts from the music.

We’re celebrating 10 years of shared music… and we’ll also do it live on December 7, back at Espacio Ronda 🤩

Stay tuned! 🎹🎶

🎹✨ Exciting news! My new album Solo Piano II will be released on December 12th.
It features some brand-new pieces and solo piano versions of previously released songs.

I’m planning to record a third part because I still have solo piano versions left, and I already have some new material. But I’d also like to release something with vocals — I think that might come first, but we’ll see…

Additionally, I’d love to briefly share the story behind each piece or song (including the Solo Piano ones); I hope to do that soon.

This album was recorded in July, in the same studio as the previous one (Carlos Marques’ studio). However, due to some complications that arose in recent months, including a health issue, I have experienced delays in the audio editing process, postponing the release. It’s going to be weird releasing the videos (where I’m wearing a tank top) in December, with this cold weather! 😆

Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

Upcoming new album ‘Solo Piano’

On March 4th, I will release a solo piano album, recorded in the studio of pianist Carlos Marques. These are not new pieces, but rather solo piano versions of songs that I have released over the years, some more recent and others older. It was something I had pending. The last concert I performed this past December was a push that encouraged me to make this decision, as some members of the audience expressed their desire to continue listening to what they had just heard. However, when they search for my music, they find different versions for more instruments and not for solo piano.

So, I asked Carlos to reserve a date for me to record in his studio, and right at the beginning of the year, we were already recording. Carlos is a pianist and composer with a unique style, and you can find his music here. I got to know him through the Madrid Piano Meetups project, where people who love the piano come together.

I will notify through social media and here when it is available. Stay tuned, thank you very much!

Upcoming news

There’s been a long time without posting any news here. I would like to clarify that I’ve never stopped making music and hopefully I never will. The last post was from 2016 so let’s summarize a bit. Between 2017 and 2021 I could not dedicate time to this project for several reasons, I was finishing my music studies and I had some other personal and work issues I had to focus on that left me no time for anything else.

At the beginning of 2022 the band came together again to perform live in Madrid. It was announced on the Spanish site. The following months after the performance I was working on its video / audio editing. You can watch almost the whole performance in this YouTube playlist. And some pictures below, too.

The following months I focused on composing, recording, producing and mixing songs.

Now I’m very happy to announce that I’m about to release a new album. It’s called Hiems Aeterna (Eternal Winter) and it has been entirely recorded and produced in my home studio. It will contain new compositions and the studio versions of some of the songs contained in our previous live album En Directo 2015.

It will be released on digital platforms (Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube Music, Amazon Music…) on 30th January 2023. CDs are falling out of use. However, I’m considering producing some hard copies as well, for the people who still prefer CDs and maybe for promotional use. If any of you would be interested in hard copies, I would love to know.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned 🙂

Olga.
