A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away,  this jam was heard inside a spacecraft by someone running through an asteroid belt while escaping intergalactic piracy attacks. 

Either that, or just at a human's house, imagining how exhilarating that same voyage would be.

The Whole Galaxy Is Onto Us

Doing this sound experience, I got inspired by 2020's Social Dilemma movie, and 1962's Ultimate Revolution Speech. Two completely different productions of human mind, yet somehow so familiar between them. 

The revolution on torturing techniques sure has achieved its peak, and just as Aldous Huxley once told us it would. We now embrace our opressors and their imposed agenda, and accept them as part of the very thing that brings meaning and fulfillment to our daily lives because of what is being fed in return: the notification sounds... Mmm, or maybe the clicks... or the colours, the expectation before the refresh, the promise of fame and followers!... and yet the constant demand to stay updated, keep turned on and post, watch advertisements, buy something in the meanwhile. 

The imediate drive on our minds for the next dopamine rush, to endure the constant withdrawal that comes next. 

The ultimate revolution on mind torture? Social media.

Aldous Huxley Was Right (a.k.a The Ultimate Revolution)

In this sound experience, I picked some speech samples that ressonate to me somehow. They feel like they describe our current reality: the constant global threats to democracy values, human rights, shared knowledge and earth sustainability, while at the same time most of the world leaders engage in political or economic war speeches as their main moto, fighting each other for sovereignty instead of actually caring for common struggles that are being demanded today, for all of us, as humans sharing the same Earth, to be able to endure.

Fire and Fury (won't solve everything)

The Devil Doesn't Cry

Foi No Teu Amor (Foge Foge Bandido Cover)

The instrumental of one of the next covers I will be releasing soon. You can try to guess which music is it, though it's a little different from the original version! I hope you enjoy :)

Guitar Workout (Acoustic Instrumental)

This is a preview of the first original theme I'm working on. I'm satisfied with how it is evolving (especially with the dark aura that surrounds this theme), and I promise that I will show you more as soon as it gets even more developed.

Bug Shell (Instrumental Demo)

Divagações de estúdio antes da gravação oficial do novo single que aí vem, com participação especial de Francisco Figueiredo no piano (e voz de todos os outros que partilhavam a mesma sala onde isto foi gravado).

Trecho de excerto de pedaço de bocado de música (feat. Franky)

O som não está perfeito. A guitarra dá uns pregos. A voz está arranhada da violenta constipação. Mas houve um insidioso equilíbrio em toda esta crueza musical que me agradou, e me impeliu a pôr esta versão aqui na mesma. Para vocês, um poema do maior poeta de Portugal, declamado por um zé-ninguém com um pedaço de lenha.

Ai, Margarida (Guta Naki Acoustic Cover)

This next cover is from a side project of Chino Moreno, the lead vocal of Deftones, a great artist for whom I have the greatest respect!

Option (Crosses Acoustic Cover)

Oficialmente iniciado em 2020, Alkahest Music Database insere-se como plataforma de divulgação de parte do Projecto Alkahest. 

Alkahest é a descompustura harmoniosamente caótica de tudo e de nada. 
É, do ar, a brisa que eleva o mundo rumo a novos horizontes.
É, da terra, os pés descalços nela enterrados e as certezas que dela absorve.
É, do fogo, a paixão que encandeia ou consome as sociedades e o pensamento humano.
É, da água, o fluxo que nos percorre eternamente.
