Soul Elixir

Blood  On The Moon

Recording and composition process happened between January of 2022 and October of 2023 in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. All instruments, compositions and lyrics by Raoni Martins, except lyrics for track 11 which is a collab with Lucas Ajúr. Front Cover's drawing art and design beautifully done by Emilia Oliveira. Inlay and back cover's art by Raoni Martins. 

   The new work from Draven Project showcases a sound that tries to bring a good balance between the influences around the band. The last album's style is more developed here. It's a blend of Rock, Electronic, and Hip Hop. The album is called Cybertronic Dissonance and it contains thirteen tracks. It is divided into two acts. Act I is called The Raven's Nest, which is written and based on real situations and memories. It's about the life journey and trespassing through many issues while trying to be alive and make ends meet. Lyrics are filled with energy and rage against the past years facing music business and life. Every song on Act I is a moment of intense truth. Act II is called The Evil Flock. It's a set of 6 poems written to be songs. Music inspired by the works of Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and Jim Morrison.  
   
   There is a cyberpunk vibe running throughout the album, like a soundtrack from a dystopic world. The use of synthesizers and keyboards grew more and more on each album. Billy Idol, Depeche Mode and Ministry are for sure references for this release as well. Venus Highway goes right between Idol and Joy Division's sound with symphonic synth rock touches and doses of Brazilian music.

The raven figure on the album is a reference to the graphic novel and movie series The Crow. Therefore, it follows the concept of a raven being the holder of the heart and soul of someone while this person deals with revenging a great loss. The whole album is ambiented in the way the raven is standing on the shoulder of the main character, following his steps. There are many references to the famous black bird on the album. Act I is called The Raven's Nest because it means a relation to being born and alive into this world and having to learn to fly by fear of falling down and ceasing to live. This fear gets the bird into the majestic skill of flying, so it can fly over the land and face the world. While Act II is called The Evil Flock because it relates to the bird in a mature life, corrupted by the evil of the world while struggling to survive every single day.

Cybertronic Dissonance

Season of the Lost

This song follows the thoughts of the protagonist who goes through an abstruse day -- from rambunctious work colleagues a room over to thoughts of love far away in a world that seems forgiving yet un-reflective. Culminating in retroactive thought about purpose and place in the world, as well as questioning who 'teaches the world', the idea is that the teacher and colleagues could be, somehow, taught to understand what the protagonist evokes -- feelings, sentiments, morals, or otherwise.

LYRICS:
I thought I heard the sun wake
Up this morning
And the days' special way
Tragic importance.
Thought to listen to
The voice inside my head, they said:
'Don't harken, they won't hurt you'
Anyhow...

Please, please reason with me
Mystified by
Things they want to
Hold on to.
Ebb to tide, plea to bear
See the sides of 
Obscurity 
(Of obscurity).

If I told you,
I won't fall far.
If I don't hold you,
I won't be
Sane of taste.

Rectify the naysayer
All wont
To these feelings.
What to do?
Oversee it!
Mystified by
Things they want to
Hold on to.

Qui est notre maître?
Of underlying instructions...
Of unbridled functions...
Of unwritten laudations...

Easy

D-What does your sweat taste like?

Snake Blue

長大後 她以為
沒人會真正明白她的沉默
她越懂事
越像雲 無處安放

She learned to fade
She learned to hide
To walk alone with stars inside
But silence deep and undefined

Silence is not hollow air
It's where the soul learns how to care
And when the time is soft and slow
Even the wind will let you know

寂靜之子｜Child of Silence（Bilingual）

Do You?

This tune came out of a wonderful convergence (happy accident); my collaboration with @devin-locke on "Theme and Variations" and a renewed interest in the painting of Bob Ross. One of the variations I became so taken with, I wanted to develop it into a full track using the original steel string voice of the collaboration then adding nylon string to enlarge the melody line.  "Happy Accidents" was a favorite saying of Bob Ross as he would go about his painting on Public Television.  I saw how it applied to me in how I have composed guitar music over the years;  the unexpected note or chord I first thought a mistake became a turning point for a phrase or melody line.  Some would call it "serendipity", for Bob Ross it was a "happy accident".  If you listen closely toward the beginning, you can hear my granddaughter Lily in the background, a bit of a cameo and very much a happy accident:)
