NEW DAY
This is the twenty-fourth album and twentieth LP released; it's an album originally inspired by puzzle games—like jigsaw puzzles, Rubik's Cubes, and especially the Tetris video game—and the competitions and challenges that surround these games. Each track is inspired by and conceived of a particular moment of competition and gaming.
The music that makes up this album came to me one day while I was playing an old "Brick Game 9999 in 1" console, which features the immortal classic Tetris game. I'd played this game on this device since I was a kid, as it was one of the first consoles I ever owned.
The alternative cover art only varies in that it doesn't feature the main characters; it's the galaxy, the fields, and the entire scene are clean and simple.
The main cover features a scene showing Elena, Coni, Miztly, and Youkaifox just after the creation of their universe, amidst a clear, turquoise ocean; a multicolored sky filled with birds, stars, and a galaxy.
The beginning of a new world.

About music
1.- "A Good Time" I composed the first melody in this work to create a good intro theme for a puzzle-style video game, something uplifting and cheerful, something that would invite you to play and have a good time.
2.- "Beat Steps" It arose thinking about the moments where the challenge is strongest or most intense, where stress and time put pressure on the player, a melody that evokes the player's concentration.
3.- "Callistar" The third track is a fun tune, with a cheerful rhythm and sounds. It's a track that's meant to give listeners a good time. If I were to put it in a video game, I'd use it in a bonus level.
4.- "Cosmic Halley" The fourth track is a reflection on our path in life, the direction it takes with the decisions we make and the directions we unconsciously choose.
5.- “Distancia Finita" If you've ever played Tetris, chess, or Chinese checkers—any other game where the planning and precision of each move is vital to victory and defeat—this tune is inspired by those moments.
6.- "Fragments" Trance music is one of my favorites, but I find it very difficult to perform, as its rhythm can be very dizzying and faster than I'm used to. This song is inspired by the endurance and speed challenges in some video games, those challenges where skill and experience are everything.
7.- "Insomnia" The number is a melody for peace and tranquility, a moment of reflection where we analyze the mistakes and decisions we have made up to this point.
8- "Revelous" Motivated by adventure stories, this melodic composition is inspired by those moments when conflicts are resolved and the story is reaching its climax.
9.- “Speed Test" It's a melody inspired by the speed tests and challenges of games like Tetris, Puyo Puyo, or any other puzzle game. Those moments where stress can be truly enjoyed and the final challenge when it's almost all over.
10.- "Tetraminus" This is the ending of this album, and what better way to celebrate it than with a melody that honors the basic pieces of one of the greatest games ever made, the Tetris Tetriminos. It's also a melody that pays homage to all the games of this type that have provided countless hours of fun and joy to countless people around the world.
