Nacho Sotomayor | «20th Anniversary» | 2CD + Book

My Friends,

On occasion of the 20th anniversary as a professional musician/producer I came up with the idea of publishing a double CD manufactured with recyclable cardboard materials and an elaborate design, special and attractive, which would accompany the edition with a book written by me, as well as the manufacture of attractive t-shirts with my own logo as a gift along with many other rewards to all who support this project.

The double CD will contain, on the one hand, a volume compilation with the best moments of my musical career and, on the other hand, a second volume with new versions, remixes and unreleased tracks.

The book will be an autobiographical passage through 20 years of my career as a musician and creator, where in addition to remembering prominent stories from my life and career, I will offer perspectives on various aspects of our present and the world. It will also contain numerous photos, interviews and articles published in the press and specialized magazines during the past 20 years.

All these years I have felt your warmth through thousands of emails where you expressed how good my music made each one of you feel, a benefit that was mutual because by reading your kind words I also felt very happy and encouraged to continue moving ahead. It is me now, that encourages you to support this new initiative, which is intended, as all of the past ones, also for you. In other ocassions, our label Absolut Ambient, not without a lot of effort, has dealt with everything, since they were editions whose costs were more or less acceptable, but this project in particular is quite special and its development is much more complex and, apart from being more ambitious, involves a greater number of people which means that the costs are higher. For this reason and now more than ever I ask for your support and collaboration.

In return I promise a meticulous and exceptional Edition both inside and out. A double album that will represent a before and after in my career and it will serve to summarize and complete the efforts of two decades through which I have been in such close contact with you. As for the book, it won't be my intention to write an autobiography, but I am aware that there are many people who feel my music and that will somehow be interested by what I think, do or say. This has been precisely what has motivated me to make up my mind and create this volume, although, let’s make it clear that I am not a writer nor intend to make literature, but I am sure that more than one of you will find it entertaining and make you feel even closer to me and to my work as an artist, something for which I am very grateful these days. Each book of this limited edition will be signed by the author exclusively for those who acquire it through their attentive collaboration.

In previous adventures I have always counted with your support, and I have no doubt that I will also have it this time and that you will respond to this call. Let’s all move this project forward! Thank you in advance and see you soon!
