¿Estás ahí?

Last week we finished mixing the music to film "¿Estás ahí?" (which means "Are you there?) My very first comedy!! Directed by Roberto Santiago ("El penalti más largo del mundo", "El club de los suicidas") and starring Gorka Otxoa ("Pagafantas") and Miren Ibarguren ("Aída") We recorded the music in Bratislava, with a medium orchestra (strings, some woodwinds and 4 fhorns) Thanks to David Hernando, Claudio Ianni and to Marc Blanes. Without them this wouldn't have been possible!
Here's the music for the main titles...
