In his eerie new instrumental composition, "En la Médula" (In the Marrow), Esteban Mauricio Soria's project Alma Lunar leads us deep into a maze where dream and fact are indistinguishable in this chilling experience.

The song has the creep of an overheard memory, dreams forgotten coming back into the room, ghost synths dimly rising through echo fog, all pinned by ritualist minimalist percussion that beats like a pulse of a soul locked up in its own nowhere-centred unconscious.

Tied to the theme of Alma Lunar's previous single, "El hombre que soñó el fin" (The Man Who Dreamed The End), this song continues the visual and emotional sojourn of a man entangled in a world of his own devices referred to only as "the marrow. A shadow stalks him. A mysterious woman speaks. And through it all, we're guided by simultaneously cosmic and claustrophobic soundscapes.

The storytelling is at once cinematic and visceral. A hushed voice slinks out of the shadows, followed by sinister coiling keyboards that weave a spell of hypnotic tension. Then, as the track approaches its crescendo, a solitary violin's raw and aching wail pierces the darkness like a glimmer of light before dying into stillness.

Each piece has been created and played by Soria himself. Production came to a halt in Estudio Soundloop in 2025. Written in 2013, "En la Médula" has a timeless feel, as if it had been etched into the bones of a dreamer long ago. Artists like Lunar's are immersive, eerie, and deeply human. Prepare to feel haunted.
