Metal Study #15

... 

Agenouillées de force par l’infiniment lourd
Où s’avalanchent en masse les fracas des mots creux des puissances cyniques 
Où s’étranglent en chuintant les cris asphyxiés des peuples
Sous des tonnes de plomb
Elles incantent, sans dire
Plongent et cherchent la force, et la légèreté
L’inspiration, l’envol

Paupières baissées, arcs de lune, elles implorent

Il faut
Réinventer l’issue
Avant l’écrasement
La chute
Résister à ce tourbillon
À la source d'acier qui vrille
Chasser la peur
Puiser profond au désir primitif

Sous l’ombre de leurs fronts
Derrière leurs yeux d’amande
Bouches livides scellées
Maudissent la déraison mortelle grimée d’or et d’argent
Hurlent en silence blême les corps déchiquetés
L’ardeur assassinée, et tous les innocents sacrifiés inutiles 
Invoquent son envers par la folie qui sauve, vivifie et ranime
Brûlante et glacée	
Comme les perles salées qui s’accrochent à leurs cils

Elles oscillent
Elles incantent
Elles flambent

"translation"
Forced to kneel by the infinitely heavy
Where the din of empty words of cynical powers is a mass avalanche
Where the asphyxiated cries of the people are strangled by hissing
Under tons of lead
They incant, without saying
Dive and seek strength, and lightness
Inspiration, flight

Eyelids down, moon bow, they beg

It's necessary to
Reinvent the end
Before the crash
The fall
To resist this whirlwind
At the source of twisting steel
To drive away the fear
To draw deep to the primitive desire

Under the shadow of their brows
Behind their almond eyes
Livid mouths sealed
They curse mortal unreason painted in gold and silver
Scream in pale silence the shredded bodies
The ardor murdered, and all the innocents sacrificed useless
Invoke its reverse with the madness that saves, vivifies and revives
Burning and freezing
Like the salty pearls that cling to their eyelashes

They oscillate
They incant
They blaze

Avalanche - Deepman & Luciole Langevine

Quand t'es face au bord , tu réfléchis deux minutes .

L'Enfant D'la Plèbe- L'hymne d'un lâche

A hazy, violet-washed morning on the coast. This track drifts like film grain across the sea — ambient, dreamlike, and timeless.

Violet on the mornings cheek (rough)

Taken from Kostas Maskalides’ ninth studio album Soundscapes, Elegy for a Dying Sun blends ambient textures with subtle experimental layers, creating an atmosphere that feels both immersive and deeply emotional.

Carefully sculpted sound design and expressive detail invite listeners into a world where calmness meets intensity, harmony flows into chaos, and every note carries meaning.

Soundscape

Elegy for a Dying Sun

multi-instrumentalist & composer.
Genre fluid music for images / instrumental / contemporary post-fusion / experimental jazz / electro acoustic ambient / melodic noise / neoclassical / naive hard core / cosmopolitan world music.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.

Naviar is a music community and label. Through regular publications, open projects and events, we explore the connection between experimental music and traditional Japanese poetry.
