Reigniting Reignite?

Hey guys!

Happy April. :) I hope you are all well! Currently, all my 3 boys (Dante, Omi and Thor) are taking naps hahaha! So, I'm at the computer trying to come up with some ideas. 

The Mass Effect trilogy remaster is slated to be released in May and I've seen a few comments on the Reignite video from folks asking for a "remaster", or rather, a rerecording of it. 

I love the idea and would personally love to have a chance to rerecord it since I have new (and hopefu...

In the Darkness - Studio Footage

You guuuuys, I was finally able to make this rough edit (after googling how to work with multicamera in Final Cut).

When we recorded the I Follow the Moon album, Cristy went to the studio and was able to film part of the sessions. We sadly don't have ALL the footage, but I took some of the clips of In the Darkness and spliced them into this edit, which can hopefully help you feel what the vibe was like in those days.

Such a special moment in my life. <3 

We recorded ...

Instagram Stories

You guuuys. I have been thinking...

There have been moments when I've wanted to share updates and pictures of daily life with you. Personal pics that I don't want to spam my music account with.

I can't always sit at the computer to post, but I always have my cel.

Instagram lets you create a list of "close friends" that you can send stories exclusively to. I will be posting mainly personal pics. Any project/video related news I would still share here on Patreon, so you won't ...

2021: Onward and Upwards

You guuuuys. This is it. The end of the year. 

Happy new year to all of you! 

I truly, truly hope 2021 brings you good health, joy, and I hope we can all eventually get back to a more normal way of living.

I'm sick of virtual hugs and want real ones.

Thank you for being a part of this Patreon page during what has sometimes felt like the apocalypse. Thank you for keeping my head above water and for giving me the opportunity to keep working through it all.

A Song for My Son - Welcome Dante!

You guuuuyys. Here’s a video of a song called Safe Asleep in honor of our newborn son.

Dante arrived last week, a little earlier than expected. We were sent to the hospital for a test just to see “what was going on” and we ended up having to stay there and meeting him a couple of hours later. We didn’t even have our hospital bags haha!

It was a whirlwind, but everthing went super well! Dante is with us now and we’ve been doing our best to learn and figure out how to ca...

Hey guys! 

https://soundcloud.com/malukah/soundofsilence-malukah/s-xVHy65Wo3qT

Here's the new cover of Sound of Silence, a song by Simon and Garfunkel. :) I still can't get over how much Disturbed changed the mood of this song with the incredible version they did. If you haven't seen it, be sure to watch it. The 2020-11-01 14:42:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Sound of Silence Sneak Peek

You guuuuys. 

I've been working on the Sound of Silence arrangement (the October Monthly Vote). I am hoping to finish it by tomorrow. Singing has been a struggle this past week. I'm in my 9 month of pregnancy and I'm having a really hard time controlling my voice and feeling tired after the tiniest effort. 

I wanted to send you a sneak peek now (vocals not final) so iiiiif I'm unable to finish it by tomorrow, you at least get a preview of how it's sounding.

Daughter of the Sea - Post Mortem

Why do I always look like a lunatic in thumbnails? hahaha!

Hey guys! 

ln this video, I talk about the experience of recording the recent World of Warcraft cover, Daughter of the Sea. I was a bit chatty. haha Oops. 

But, if you're curious to hear more details about the process, you'll find that here.

Thank you so much for watching!

New Cover Video: Scarborough Fair

Behold! The new and improved Scarborough Fair featuring Alexander Knutsen! 

(For those of you guys that joined us recently, I had shared a version of this cover in August, where I recorded all the instruments myself, but felt it was missing something. So, I called Alex hehe)

I'm so happy he was able to be a part of this song for the official release.

I'm sharing the video privately on Vim...

New Cover Download: Scarborough Fair (Feat. Alexander Knutsen)

Hey guys!

Here's the final version of Scarborough Fair featuring my good friend Alexander Knutsen on guitar. 

I shared the first version of this song in August, where I attempted to record the guitar solo myself. I felt it wasn't polished enough, so I asked Alex if he could help. 

He recorded a proper solo plus a strumming, shimmery acoustic guitar that I feel added much needed energy to the track!

Here are your links to download MP3 and WAV.

We Tried Something Different Today

Soooo. Cristy helped me film a video for Sound of Silence today. She set up this cool lighting  that keeps half my face in darkness. Super moody :) 

She filmed in black & white, as well as color. 

I'm hoping once the final arrangement is fully done, it will be easier to decide which I like better. Hahaha! I'm so excited about the black & white, because it's different for me. But I do feel the color one retains a bit of more warmth... I'd love to know your th...

Video Sneak Peak + Update!

Helloooo!

How is it mid October already? Can somebody explain? hehe

I got the Scarborough Fair video back from Cristy and wanted to show you a clip so you can see the warmth she captured with her use of lighting.  

As I mentioned before, this was filmed on the same morning as the Daughter of the Sea vid, in the same room. I just changed my shirt and jewelry. I took off my 10 Avril-Lavigne-like bracelets and just left one that was a gift from my friend Panda. hehe. I'm s...

New Cover: Daughter of the Sea (World of Warcraft)

Hey guys! 

I went a bit musically dark this month. Hahaha! Here's September's Patreon-voted cover for Daughter of the Sea from World of Warcraft. 

This song took me by surprise. I originally planned to approach the arrangement like I usually do, with tons of vocals and layers, etc. But when I started practicing the song just with guitar and a lead vocal--without embellishments--it made the lyrics truly sink in for the first time and I was deeply moved.

I found myse...

A Check-In: Two Videos Filmed

Hey guys!

I hope you are well! I wanted to say hi and check-in for a bit. Catch up on the latest.

Cristy came over on Friday to help me film 2 videos. One for this month's Patreon voted cover, Daughter of the Sea from World of Warcraft. And the second, for Scarborough Fair.

It's always fun to film with Cristy and in this case in particular, extra fun because we tried a new approach. The video for Daughter of the Sea is just one single take w...

New Video! Will the Circle Be Unbroken with Peter Hollens

You guuuuys! It's finally out todaaaay! 

Will the Circle Be Unbroken from Bioshock Infinite! Peter invited me to work on this collaboration and it was an extra special experience because he invited and included many of his Patrons.

I love how the video turned out. And in these times of so much isolation, it's a nice change to be a part of something with so many people. <3 Even if only virtually.

I hope you like it! <3 And I hope you have a great weekend.

I need your help with cover suggestions!

Hey guys! Happy Monday!

I'm just now putting together September's cover list for the monthly vote and would love to include some ideas from you along with my own running list of "cover to-do's" hehehe. 

Is there a video game related song you think would be a nice fit for my voice type?

Thank you in advance for your help.
Big hug from Mexico,
