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.

Important news and Aura Noctis playing live again

Recently we’ve been joined by Susana Rico, a professional cellist from Madrid with a background as a performer in the National Spanish Symphonic Orchestra, and Beatriz Tierno, who has been a songwriter for many years and now has taken over the leading vocals. We’ve got a really beautiful sound together with our great oboist Carmen, frame drummer RubĂ©n and pianist Olga.
We performed live on April, 24th, in Madrid, playing some new / unreleased compositions along with some old songs with new arrangements. We will soon release a new album, meanwhile you can watch our performance on youtube:

New song: Sola Dryas

Some months ago we were invited to participate in Ragnarok Sampler, organised by Radio Body Music. The sampler is about Norse Mythology or similar (ancient myths, greek gods, etc.), so this is a composition about Dryads with which we’ve participated. Hope you like it!
