Fiat

- a train passing nearby, about 5m from the microphones

Beyond the train and tracks there is water, the St-Laurent river, on the other side of which there is an amusement park, sometimes called fairground, on a small island.  This was Summer so the park was opened and active, you can hear roller coaster people screaming, as if echoing the train's voice at the end of the recording.

I got lucky on this one, I was riding my bike and I heard it, and was able to quickly setup my machine which I sometimes carry in my backpack exactly for this type of

Screaming Steel

I hope that if I have known how to fill this track with sun, it will give you the sensation of burning your feet with the hot sand of the brazilian beaches.

LETRA/LYRICS:

Sonidos de ayer  /  Yesterday sounds

Este cielo negro de suaves alas,  /  This black sky with soft wings,
que hoy de mi frugal sueño es techumbre,  /  which today for my frugal dream is a roof,
en este vasto mar, allá en su cumbre,  /  in this vast sea, there up its top,
hallo para mi anhelo puerto y calas.  /  I find for my longing port and coves.
 
Este oscuro manto que se ilumina  /  This dark mantle that is illuminated
con titileos de almas de cristal,  /  by clinkings of crystal souls,
trae a mi mente recuerdos sin mal  /  brings to my mind memories without evil
y otros tristes vientos de dura espina.  /  and other sad winds of hard thorn.
 
Mas es la pálida luz de la luna,  /  However is the pale moonlight,
corazón sin latido en este cielo,  /  heart without beat in this sky,
quien con sus mudos cánticos me acuna.  /  who with its mute chants cradles me.
 
Ella, álgida burbuja de hielo,  /  It, culminating bubble of ice,
me trae sonidos de ayer; la luna  /  brings me sounds of yesterday; the moon
me amanece. Y sonrío. Y vuelo.  /  dawns me. And I smile. And I fly.

Sonidos de ayer (with ProgRockDan1)

Recorded, mixed & mastered  by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Process notes -
I started by thinking that verses are quiet and choruses are loud and that my (instrumental) piece would have a clear simple melody in the chorus section and longer notes for the verse. Then I would just make the chorus quiet and the verses louder or in some way more brash.

On Friday, I started working on my monthly Patreon pack - this time using Ableton Live’s Wavetable. I started from an “analog” preset, messed it up a bit and then came up with 10 variations. I put that aside for the pack and then opened a new Live set to branch off from there for this submission. 

On Saturday, I arranged the bones of what I had, added a little Roar distortion to the bass/drone and added a few unpredictable elements to finish the track. 

Tools used - Ableton Live, Wavetable, Roar & other native Live devices, Sonic Bloom Bodhrán & Kalimba, iZotope Ozone 9.

No. 63, Hold Back For Oncoming Traffic (disquiet0673)

Imprevisivel

Never Love Again (ft. Record'sדי)

https://soundcloud.com/vanovano/sets/the-cosmic-voyages-of-captain

In this new adventure, Captain Vano ventures across sacred lands, forbidden to all but the fragile sand skimmers. For fifteen days, he journeys through breathtaking landscapes, worthy of the greatest westerns.

Gigantic canyons with golden and ochre walls stretch endlessly, their deep crevices whispering forgotten secrets. Infinite plains, swept by scorching winds, are dotted with improbable rock formations, as if sculpted by a divine hand. By day, twin suns dominate the sky, bathing the desert in a cruel yet magnificent light. By night, countless stars illuminate the dunes, occasionally accompanied by mysterious, dancing auroras.

Captain Vano also crosses dried-up marshes, where petrified trees stretch their skeletal branches skyward, silent witnesses of a long-forgotten past. Further on, towering crystal mountains, as tall as cathedrals, shimmer under surreal light, creating a visual symphony that both inspires and terrifies.

In this wild, untamed land, danger is ever-present but often invisible: the wind carries indistinct cries, shadows seem to shift, and sudden sandstorms envelop the world in an opaque veil.

His goal: to reach a mystical hermit, renowned for foretelling the Great Chaos without ever understanding the source of his visions. Today, this oracle feels an inexplicable calling: he must meet Captain Vano. When they finally stand face to face, the hermit reveals a troubling message.

"Your destiny is not here, Captain. It awaits you on a distant planet, where the ocean embraces infinity and the depths whisper forgotten truths. Djbaxx… Go to Djbaxx, for there, all will be revealed."

Why this planet? What force is guiding Captain Vano toward it? Only the universe knows.
