THE TTLG CONCEPT

TTLG, whose full title will remain a mystery until the full album release in 2026, is my debut conceptual album, structured in three interconnected phases: Innocence, Darkness, and Transcendence. Each phase reflects a stage of life: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, through distinct sonic and emotional landscapes.

Inspired by the mirror as a metaphor —as in Lewis Carroll’s iconic tale— the album takes the listener through three distinct phases of life, each linked to an archetype:

Childhood / Innocence: The Broken Lullabies

Volume I represents childhood, and with it, the clash between the idealized world and the first emotional wounds. I chose this title because I believe many of our deepest scars are born in childhood; lullabies that never quite managed to soothe us.

Adolescence / The Shadow:  Here Comes the Dark

Volume II embodies the archetype of adolescence. It marks the arrival of our first loves and the intense search for our own identity, accompanied by a hormonal chaos that, in my case, was difficult to navigate. Yet, it was precisely that turbulence that laid the fertile ground for a whole new creative universe.

Adulthood / Transcendence: Coming Soon

The narrative begins with bright, naïve pop melodies that echo the lighthearted spirit of childhood. Yet, even in its most joyful moments, subtle glitches and lyrical undercurrents hint at deeper wounds and hidden truths.

The middle section dives into the restless, rebellious energy of adolescence — musically bolder, lyrically more confrontational — questioning love, identity, societal norms, and the hypocrisies of the modern world.

The final chapter ventures into a darker, more atmospheric soundscape, blending commercial sensibility with the soul of ’70s progressive rock, sacred symbolism, and futuristic textures.

The entire album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Locus Estudi (Barcelona), featuring an exceptional lineup of musicians:

Pau Esteve (bass, guitar, keyboards, arrangements, production, mastering), Juan Barceló (1980s Yamaha Rogers drum kit with Paiste 2002 series cymbals), Walter Paniagua (Fender Stratocaster & Cort Core guitars), Agustín Montero (Fender Precision bass), Lluc Valverde (trumpet, saxophone), Clàudia Madhurima (violin), and Andy Arno (vocals).
