PROGRAM NOTE
Many composers associate orchestral instruments with animals to great effect, such as Prokofiev with Peter and the Wolf, Rimsky-Korsakov with Flight of the Bumblebee, Saint-Saëns with Carnival of the Animals, and perhaps most obsessively, Messiaen with birds from all over the world. In Soar, I associate the trumpet with an eagle, a bird that can fly as high as ten thousand feet and as fast as two hundred miles per hour. Like an eagle soaring above mountains, Soar requires the trumpet player to play fast and high, and both the trumpet and piano parts are, at times, quite virtuosic. In this sense, Soar is really meant as a show-off piece for expert trumpet players.

Wladimir Martínez (born on August 22, 1990, in Valparaíso, Chile) is an independent musician, composer, singer-songwriter, and poet. He holds a degree in Music from the University of Valparaíso and has developed a deeply personal body of work that blends emotional soundscapes with a stylistic exploration that moves between rock, classical music, ambient electronica, and sonic experimentation.

Influenced by a wide range of artists who have shaped his creative journey from different perspectives, some of the most significant in terms of composition and musicality include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Steven Wilson, and David Bowie, whose melodies, structures, harmonic approaches, musical production, and conceptual aesthetics have been fundamental. On the sonic and experimental side, key influences include Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, all of whom are recognized for their work in crafting atmospheres and textures. His poetic and expressive dimension finds essential references in Nick Drake, Gustavo Cerati, Luis Alberto Spinetta, and the Chilean band La Ley, whose lyrics and sensibility have deeply influenced the way he connects words and sound.

He is currently also exploring the visual language through photography and digital drawing, as a natural extension of his creative universe. This multidisciplinary approach—exploring sounds, words, and images—reinforces his vision of art as something driven by emotion and perception.

Martínez has independently released his work through digital platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, TikTok, and Instagram, building a diverse and coherent discography that stands apart from commercial trends. His work speaks to those who see art as a vehicle for deep expression rather than a product. He continues to expand his catalog with new releases, maintaining an active poetic and visual output that complements his artistic identity and pushes the boundaries of his creativity.



"What's any artist, but the dregs of his work? the human shambles that follows it around. What's left of the man when the work's done but a shambles of apology." William Gaddis

Saga of Eldrassil — The Legend of the Anahata Crystals, Chronicles of Hyperborean Age, and Antediluvian Tales

🌌 Prologue: Time Before Time

In the beginning, before Eldrassil existed, there was the antediluvian era — a forgotten time when mighty beings and titans shaped the foundations of the world. From this ancient past come the stories of the Antediluvian Tales, recounting creation, fall, and awakening of forces that would influence the future.

In this distant age, the first fragments of power were forged, later crystallizing into the five Anahata Crystals — powerful artifacts sustaining the cosmic balance.

Chapter 1: Antediluvian Tales Part 1 — The Forge of Eldrassil

The Titans of Chaos and the Primordial Gods wage battles that shape earth and sky. The first crystals are created, each imbued with essences of natural and cosmic forces.

The tales tell of the founding of the great city Valthorias and the first alliance between humans, elves, and dwarves to protect the newborn world.

Chapter 2: Antediluvian Tales Part 2 — The Fall of the Titans

A devastating war among Titans unleashes a cataclysm nearly destroying Eldrassil. Many crystals shatter and are hidden away to prevent their power from corruption.

The original Guardians are chosen to protect the remaining fragments, marking the dawn of a new era.

Chapter 3: Antediluvian Tales Part 3 — The Dream of the Guardians

The Guardians secretly watch as mortal races develop but foresee the coming of an ancient evil: the King of Dusk.

Ancient prophecies are revealed in long-lost manuscripts, making the search for the crystals inevitable.

Chapter 4: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 1 — The Awakening of War

With darkness rising, the young prince Maedhros rises to protect the Crystal of Order. The Guardians begin to gather scattered forces to confront the King of Dusk.

Chapter 5: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 2 — The Flame of Sacrifice

Battles ravage Eldrassil and the fall of the capital Valthorias marks a critical point. The heroes suffer devastating losses, yet their fighting spirit remains unbroken.

Chapter 6: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 3 — The Resistance Reborn

The Guardians forge new alliances with forgotten ancient races, rediscover old magics, and prepare the offensive to reclaim Eldrassil.

Chapter 7: Chronicles of Hyperborean Age Part 4 — The Final Dawn

In the final battle under an ominous eclipse, the Guardians confront the King of Dusk. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, and only the united power of the five crystals can save it.

Epilogue: Echoes of Forgotten Past — The Ancestral Legacy

With peace restored, Eldrassil begins to heal. The antediluvian tales become legends, warning that the cycle of darkness and light is eternal, and new Guardians will always arise.

Key Characters

Maedhros — Guardian of Order, leader and symbol of hope.

Isereth — Sorceress of the Eternal Roses, master of ancient magic.

Iraeth — Visionary priestess.

Catafracta — General of the Crystal of War.

The Titans — Ancestral beings who forged Eldrassil.

King of Dusk — Dark antagonist and destroyer.
