Summer 2000. IMWI was born as a musical project based basically on guitars. Its music tries to follow the Troubadours's Pilgrimage around this world of deeds, desires, delights, and this world of pain, sorrow and grief. What does he see ? What does he want to tell ?
Summer 2003. After two years on the path, two years of learning, practice and compositions, the first album arise: The Journey Of The Troubadour. It introduces the Troubador to the world and invites everyone to join his pilgrimage to somewhere else.
The same year, IMWI collaborates in Beyond the Horizon - a homage to 'And Also The Trees' - with a cover of "The Suffering Of The Stream". For more info about this musical tribute compilation, visit www.andalsothetrees.info.
Winter 2005. Another two years sharing visions and dreams with J and D, and another album came out of our womb: Diálogo de Sueños Three statues at our heads, three characters within ourselves, and four songs for each one of them: el Adivino, el Trovador, el Ahorcado.
Where is now the world we dared to meet before ?
Along 2006. The year is silent as the way of the travelldour goes across a desert of sounds. The sand is my bed of blankness. Words are not eager to jump over the walls to the heights. A few songs are collected, hymns about the poverty of the souls that dwell these lands, about lonesome beseekers of truth, shells or pires.
At the end of the year, when the winter was here, an invitation came from Poland, from one of the speakers of Kaos. He offered me to talk about Europa, about its essence, about its feelings. I slept in my sheath for a week and dreamt of this my Eutopia … bending us down.
Along 2007. A year of travels. From the bleeding warfields of the ancient East, through the shouting and the burning of the new London - the golden -, to the land that grows crows and sweats our exhaustion.
And every travel leaves a tune … in our ears … in our memories … in our hearts. And like spitted words they shall appear: 'Crying Primrose', 'London Beauty Blues', 'Bare Crows' …
