This one of the compositions made for the sound track of a theater play  called "The conference of the Birds". "The Conference of the birds" is an old Persian tale made by Farid ud-Din Attar a persian Poet from the 12th century. It speaks about the birds of the world gathering together to decide who is to be their king, as they have none and they fly together in a mission, They cross 7 valleys, the first, The valley of the "Search" or "Yearning". 

A theater group directed by Robson Radechpek, brazilian actor and director, performed the theater play in Vienna on the 6th and 7th February 2015 and the sound track were mostly written by Marco Antonio da Costa.

We hope you enjoy the music!

Valley of the Search (Part 2) - Marco Antonio da Costa

"Protest Vibe" (by Marco Antonio da Costa) -- recorded in December 2013 on the KUG Studio by Ulrich Katzenberger and Alexander Zwierzina , Mixed and Mastered by Georg Luksch. Graphic Design by Andreas Ischka, Graz - Austria. Line up: Guitar -- Marco Antonio da Costa, Organ -- Rob Bargad, Drums -- Matheus Jardim. Released at the Album "The Shift" in 2015. 

This tune was composed in a time where a wave of protests has arisen in the world. Started with the so called "Arab Spring" in 2011. Some of these protests seemed for me very legitimate, like the ones in Egypt, Tunisia, Canada (Montreal), Brazil, Turkey and America "Occupy Wall Street" but some of them really looked for me like western mainstream media fabrications with an unclear agenda behind the poor and often bad coverage.  

Protests keep happening all around the world, that's what this song is about,the endless "Protest Vibe"

Thanks for listening!

This song was made in a time i was totally into Cryptocurrencies. Not that i m not into "Cryptos" anymore, i still believe they represent the future of the way how money will be moving around the globe. But i gave up to be a crypto dealer or a technical expert, i m a musician and this is what i do, i get inspired and i write music :)  I am very aware that Cryptos are today a very interesting alternative currency and alternative to the rigged political-banking-financial structure that we have today. 

Bitcoin was the first Descentralized Cryptocurrency that came to the existence in the internet. Since 2009 this Crypto has been out there. The idea was revolutionary and so it has been the outcome of this project. Nobody owns it. There is no central authority. Extremely low transation fees. Fast. In fact it is better i will not try to explain what Bitcoin is, or what a cryptocurrency is, i m not the most suitable person for that.

There is plenty of information out there about it, you can go to www.bitcoin.org for example or to one of the thousands online exchanges out there. You can trade Cryptos with most of the currencies around the world. It is defninately a game changer! 

So as musician, i apreciate your support, donation or help are always welcome, so i can keep making music! :) 

I Hope you like the music
You can donate me some Bitcoins (BTC) if you want or hire me or any of the projects i organize to be payed in BTC or another Cryptos! (Ether Preferred).
