It's Priscilla Hernandez (aka. yidneth) Ethereal gothic fantasy singer-songwriter, illustrator, nature lover, fantasy geek, rat loving fellow friend. I'm not really doing my "Introduction post quite yet" though I think some of you already (hopefully) know me. I will write a proper introduction with a bit of everything soon but after some days in Nature (getting inspired) I thought... about time I start to share here :)
And for those who don't know me I make music, videos and illustrations and I'm a FANTASY GEEK in capitals. When I settle in I will write a proper introduction but meanwhile here a "taste" of my work

Light as a feather

Ethereal is inspired in all things clear. Hyaline is one of my favourite words. So think of dew on cobwebs, frost, crystals, stardust, clear waters... l
Sometimes when you you are in lucid dream , those dreams you are aware you are dreaming and have control about them, I feel that my feet can float, that I'm like "light as a feather". No Burdens. Just airy. My soul... unclouded

And when I feel I'm drowning in darkness I try to remember the light in myself. And I remember I know a way to rise

we grow wings out of our abyssal fins to take flight and feel ethereal.

Watch and listen the music video while you keep on reading

You can shape your dreams, a world in your hands

Making of the video involved both indoors and outdoors locations. Lots of "glitter" and a wind machine. Floating fabrics and wind machines are dangerous... hahah that's all I´ll say. The truth is you cannot get rid of glitter (ever) and that's a fact. For the scenes floating in water I chose a pond in Catalonia (Montseny) where I was for over 6 hours finally not feeling my toes and fingers. I had to swim my way back under the moonlight. We filmed additional scenes in Orgi forest (Navarre)

I also made my own garments for the videoclip... there's nothing a hot glue gun cannot do even if your skills are sewing are "lacking"

For some additional dancing sequece I was gifted a pair of Silk chiffon Isis Wings that seemed to fly around me courtesy of "Dancing Wings" which one one of the elements that was not self-made

I also used the wings I use on my concerts, that I designed myself but were custom made by a company called Enchanted Costumes.

Easter Egg

By the time I released this video two of my rats Tuula and Ritva had left my side, so they're concealed in some of the nebulae in the video... let´s see if someone can find them in a frame.

Lyrics / Poem

Pure and serene...
Ethereal
Like dew on a cobweb of delicate silk
and sheer threads of silver
are the weft of the fabric of dreams
gauzy and fragile (gauzy and fragile)
like thin ice (thin ice)
oh floating dust (oh floating dust)
in open skies (in open skies)
I feel... hyaline
hyaline...
Ethereal
Like transparent waters
(They tenderly held me...)
and mother of pearl
(with gentle sway...)
those moon like pale opals
(all covered...)
I feel...
(...with moonbeams while drifting)
Hyaline...
while drifting
Our trails of afterglow
pulse like shimmering stardust
and the patterns that they draw
lead the way out of darkness
We grow wings from abyssal fins
to take flight and feel
Ethereal
Like transparent waters
(Sweet wonders unfolding)
and clear lucid dreams
(I'm conscious)
Iridescent and pale
insect wings
(to take flight)
Hyaline
(unclouded)
My soul feels
Unclouded
We get ready now
for life under the light
(Sweet wonder...)
I feel
We get ready now
for life under the light
(I'm conscious...)
I feel...
we get ready now
for life under the light
(to take flight
light as a feather)
hyaline
unclouded
I feel
ethereal
Don't you feel ethereal?
unclouded
Don't you feel ethereal?
Pure and serene
My essence...
Ethereal
