Sol (rough mix)

Alma Laprida was born in 1985. Her experience with music includes studies in a Conservatory, pure improvisation and, recently, studies in Electronic Arts. She studied piano and guitar, and also played bass and percussion. She sang in a classical music choir and she screamed imitating her punk rock heroes in school bands. She sang jazz for years and learned how to improvise. She played in a medieval music ensemble for six years, learned about ancient instruments and discovered non-tonal music. Now she uses her medieval trumpet marine and her voice to improvise, but she knows that the music she likes the most is one she has never heard yet.
