Nowadays, it is really hard, maybe impossible, to find a guitarist releasing an album with the guitar as the only instrument which can be heard, from the very first tune to the last one. No voices, no percussion… NOTHING whatsoever. Only the beautiful and delicate voice of the guitar. It is a risky enterprise Pedro Javier González has been able to deal with masterfully, thus giving birth to an album with personality. In this album, the artist strips down to his very soul, rethorically exposing himself, being only dressed with the comfort his guitar gives him.

In Spanish, we say “You are in Babia” (Estás en Babia) when someone is absent-minded, when your mind is not where it is supposed to be. From there, Babia, the author breathes freedom, he avoids consciousness. Babia is the white canvas preceding the painting, the silence above which music emerges, bursting into coloured sounds. Babia is a six-stringed monologue, a black wooden well. In his simplicity lies the challenge and the reward, the eternal search for beauty.
