Hi Marty! What\'s going on? Let me first excuse me for my grammar mistakes... for sure! It\'s Luis from Andaluss� Here you have a die-hard Fan, from the southern of southern Europe. Once time ago I read in some articles and interviews that you were planning a classical album, not in a conventional way, not in an \'\'usual\'\' approach; much rather in the unique truly-special way we only can expect coming from you. And that means: your trade-mark melodies, your unmistakable style and compositions performed by a violin, viola or cello, accompanied by some sort of somber piano, and all that enveloped in a chinese mood, an easter sound, an oriental musical context. I can\'t find the right words to describe what this project would mean for me! Probably the conception of a Marty Friedman\'s japanese-flavoured composition, in his more pure style and deep strong character, arranged for and performed by some somber strings (string quartet or whatever) had been one of my all-time more exciting hopes. I honestly can say: a true dream come true! I suppose this is a long-perspective project, a real hard one (songwriting, schedule and production aspects). Anyway Marty, I was wondering what is the actual state of the project, just wondering in which point of the process it would be at the moment, and I just want you to know you have my whole die-hard support as the fan I am. In the same way I hope you\'ll get the same reaction from the rest of your fans. Man, this truly can be SOMETHING REALLY BIG.

The project is still alive, in my mind anyway. It will happen. Now is not the time. On my new album the last cut, "Tears of an Angel" is a preview of what is to come in the future as far as that strings based album is concerned.
