Ohayou! My name is Uxue Souto and I'm working on a conceptual album that will embrace different artistic disciplines. In it, more than 8 years of life are collected, soaked in poetry and arranged in the form of a soundtrack to tell a complex story about overcoming.
This story's made by real stories; lived in my own flesh and written to portray and to face up to each difficulty I've encountered in my way to be Untouchable.
Together with Martí Costa, we work at the production of the album in order to find an honest sound. We search for the truth to the meaning and the message of the songs.
About the story
After a really tough long blue season of uncertainty, I found the right people at the right time to reverse the situation. And then one song, a poem and my guitar became into a boat. I was a lost castaway who had the great luck to be able to connect with the art, and consume and produce it without ceasing. Immersing myself in it made everything more bearable and gave me strength and a reason to make me go on.
That's how my life became filled with an endless number of drawings, ideas, sketches and, most of all, with songs and poems, which I wrote to understand my pain and my regrets. But also to express my desire to get stronger and a deep gratitude.
It is an extremely intimate album and, at the same time, universal. It's an amalgam of human sensations in which anyone can recognize themselves, whatever the circumstances may be.
And it's because of all this that I've decided to put aside the dread and share this songs, trusting that, just as I was comforted by other people's songs stories, this can be turned into support and inspiration for other people.
About the rewards
Each one of the rewards has been designed and elaborated with all my effort and dedication, so I hope you like them :)
PS: as I mentioned before, this is a conceptual album, so everything pivots on a series of symbolisms closely linked to the story. That's why, some of the rewards include allegorical elements. If you don't understand the reason for some of them, don't worry, gradually their meaning will be discovered! :)
Project members
My name is Uxue Souto Lines, I am 19 years old and mostly I sing and write. This is the first project I'm undertaking and, with it, I'd like to share my story while simultaneously getting involved in as many artistic disciplines as I can. :D
I take care of the composition of the songs and the artistic, audiovisual and conceptual production and direction. :)
Martí Costa Senz is a great friend and a great musician who collaborates in the making of the project. He co-produces the album with me and manages the recording sessions. :)
Many other incredible musician friends also participate in the recordings!
What will your contributions be used for
The money will be used to fund the recording and mastering of the songs. It will also be invested in the artistic production that will surround the album and the production of the music videos, as well as all the necessary material to carry them out.
Crowdfunding is the only source of subsidy for the recording of the album and, if the objective is surpassed, it would be possible to make into a physical CD!
Finally, a percentage of the proceeds are destined for the manufacture of the merch (cloth bags, printing of posters and illustrated postcards), its shipment to patrons (all national shipments, within Spain) and for fees and taxes such as IVA and management costs and those derived from Verkami itself.
Expected schedule
The goal is to publish progressively updates of the album and to offer exclusive content to thank you for your support and to show how the album is progressing. The official publication date of the album is estimated at mid-December 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 situation, we cannot know for sure if it will be achieved on time.
Moreover, the deliveries will take place at the end of July/beginning of August (Except for those who choose the private concert, with whom it will be arranged personally :))
Material
No track from the album has been revealed yet, but during the Verkami there will be some releases! You can find covers like Perfect (mix) and Rehab by Amy Winehouse or other videos on [ my Youtube channel]((https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNhA43RHkPzrlPLOXGIGZAQ?view_as=subscriber) and instagram!
Thank you very much!

Dear Uxue, when I first saw your drawings in the covers of the English dossiers you gave me, I thought you were an artist! Now I'm happy to see that I was right!!! Congratulations for this wonderful project and your amazing music!
