Magdalena Solis was a Belgian music and visual project that was active between 2010-2013. Early recordings were released on a first EP Lady Of The Wild Things, a very hybrid collection of short instrumental songs. For the first full album Hesperia the multitude of influences were funneled into in a more worldly rock sound. The project was also know for its thought-provoking video work, and in 2012 the Hesperia video were released on a dvd. .
