EdgeOfDark

■概要(Overview)
辛い時期もあるけどなるべく笑顔で乗り切れたらいいな、一歩ずつ
・・・という感じの曲です。
何回スマイルって言ったかわからないけどみんな笑顔になってほしい。
さあ行け！ロボドッグよ！(ガチャ、ガチャ！ワンワン！)

There are going to be tough times, but I hope I can get through it with a smile on my face, one step at a time.
It's a song that feels like...
I don't know how many times I've said "smile", but I want everyone to smile.
Let's go! Robodog! (Gacha, Gacha! Bow Wow!)

■歌詞
涙見せないように　笑う君の事
馬鹿にした口調で　責める人たちもいる

残念だけれど　この世界は
単純じゃないんだ　一問一答じゃないんだ
複雑さに目を背けた人たちは　君を責めるけど

マイペースにやろうよ
やれることを　一つずつ　ホップ・ステップ・ジャンプでさ
僕や周りの事なんて気にしないでいいから

もう一度スマイル　そしてスマイル
少し休んで　またスマイル＆スマイル
いつでも応援しているよ　気楽にやろう
テイク・イット・イージー

誰のせいでもない事　誰かのせいにすること
それで何を生み出せるというの？

残念だけれど　この世界は
理由なんて　意味が無いんだ
誰かが作ったミサイルが
今日も誰かの命を奪う

(Smile again
With a heartfelt smile
Just smile..)

マイペースにやろうよ
やれることを　一つずつ　ホップ・ステップ・ジャンプでさ
これから先何が起こるか分からないんだから　

もう一度スマイル　そしてスマイル
少し休んで　またスマイル＆スマイル
いつでも応援しているよ　
僕もどうなるかわからないけど
何とかなるさ
(If we could hold hands again
Also someday….)

マイペースにやろう
まだまだ先は長いから
笑い方を忘れないようにしよう

もう一度スマイル　僕もスマイル
彼女もスマイル　彼らもスマイル
あの野郎にもスマイル
もう一度手を取り合えたなら・・
またいつか

■Lyrics (Google translation)
You smile, trying not to show your tears
I can hear her voice blaming her in her mocking tone.

Unfortunately, this world
It's not simple, it's not one question and one answer.
Those who turned a blind eye to complexity will blame you.

Let's do it at my own pace
I think all you have to do is hop, step, and jump.
You don't have to worry about me or the people around me.

Smile again and smile again
I want you to take a little break and smile again.
I'll always support you. Take it easy.
Take It Easy

Blaming someone for something that is no one's fault
What can you produce with that?

Unfortunately, this world
Reasons are meaningless
A missile made by someone
I will take someone's life today too.

(Smile again
With a heartfelt smile
Just smile..)

Let's do it at my own pace
I think all you have to do is hop, step, and jump.
We don't know what will happen to us from now on.

Smile again and smile again
Take a break and get your smile back
I'll always support you
I don't know what will happen either
we can work it out
(If we could hold hands again
Also someday….)

Do it at your own pace
There's still a long way to go
Let's not forget how to laugh

Smile again, I smile too
She smiles, they smile too
Smile at that bastard too
If we could hold hands again...
Also someday

VV peace

A big thank you to Dan-DT for letting me journey with him and Clara into the mystical, French Fantasy realm of shadow and light.  In nature, the two are often complementary, but in one's heart and mind it can be a dual to the death of which will rule, shadow OR light. As is often the case, an uneasy armistice exists in our souls between the two but maybe out of that tension truth and beauty can be found.  Thank you for taking this journey with us.
More of Dan's beautiful genre of French Fantasy can be heard @dan-t-3

Captive Of Time (collab)

Between Human and Nature: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

"Between the Human and Nature lives the inner consciousness".

"The human is made up of the essential elements that constitute Nature.
Therefore, planet Earth will not survive if there is no global environmental ethical awareness, an ethical awareness for the entire world".

(Evandro B. Lira)

Between Human and Nature

This is my entry for Ryan Leach's April 2024 composing competition. The task was to compose a piece to a picture of Mont Saint Michel behind a field of flowers (with a max. length of 90 seconds).

For the composition process I pictured the following story / imaginary movie in my head:
A little boy travels to Mont Saint Michel to join the monastry as a novice. On his way he passes a beautiful field of flowers. He's cheerful, light-footed and almost dancing.
When he discovers the monastry in the distance he gets overwhelmed by awe.
In the last passage, we see the boy growing up in the monastry and becoming an educated, well respected young monk.

DESILLUSION     (translation after the French text)
Chant : Karine 
Paroles et musique : Alain Illos 

ON SE LAISSAIT GUIDER PAR LE VENT
AU MONDE PERDU DES REVES D'ENFANT
ON REVAIT
QUE L'ARRIVÉE D'UN PERSONNAGE
QUI PARTAGERAIT SES PRINTEMPS
POURRAIT BRISER TOUS LES SERMENTS
ET QU'ON NE VERRAIT PLUS SOUVENT
LES NUAGES

ON SE LAISSAIT PORTER PAR DES ERREURS
DES MESSAGES FLOUS DE NOS RANCOEURS
ON SENTAIT
QUE LA ROUTE SERAIT COURTE MAIS BELLE
A CONDITION D'Y ACCEDER
NE FAIRE QUE DES CHOIX PERSONNEL
MONTER LES MARCHES POUR ACCEDER  
AUX NUAGES

DES FLOTS DE SENTIMENTS
DES DESILLUSIONS DES PEINES
PARFOIS UNE LUEUR SOUDAINE
NOUS PROMENE
D'UN BOUT À L'AUTRE D'UNE VIE.

Desillusion

WE LET OURSELVES BE GUIDED BY THE WIND
TO THE LOST WORLD OF CHILDHOOD DREAMS
WE REVEALED
THAT THE ARRIVAL OF A CHARACTER
WHO WOULD SHARE HER SPRINGS
COULD BREAK ALL OATHS
AND WE'D NEVER SEE
THE CLOUDS


WE'D LET OURSELVES BE CARRIED ALONG BY MISTAKES
BLURRED MESSAGES OF OUR RESENTMENTS
WE FELT
THAT THE ROAD WOULD BE SHORT BUT BEAUTIFUL
AS LONG AS WE GOT THERE
MAKING ONLY PERSONAL CHOICES
CLIMB THE STEPS TO REACH  
TO THE CLOUDS

FLOODS OF FEELINGS
DESILLUSIONS SORROWS
SOMETIMES A SUDDEN GLOW
PROMISES US
FROM ONE END OF A LIFE TO THE OTHER.

It’s been a while since Terry and I have released a Texas Tea collaboration, but we finally got hold of one.  This is called ‘Overflow’.  Terry started this one off, as is the case with most Texas Tea tracks and I went in with a flashlight to find all the cool spots that were primed for some twangy ambience. Terry did the mix and production honors and this one was out the door !  Enjoy the mellow 🍄‍🟫🧘‍♂️👽

Abidemi is a feminine name, meaning born in the absence of her father.

This is one of the tracks included in the Mediterrâneo piece (https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/mediterraneo-full-v38-x05). 

Here I took out the track and made some small additions.

Market sound from Freesound 406313

Abidemi nasceu na ausência do seu pai, que partira para um porto de mar. Marujo num navio rumo ao Sul, rumo ao Sol, no horizonte. Abidemi cresceu à espera do seu pai que partira para nunca mais voltar. Ele nunca lhe escreveu, nem a viu a olhar o poente. A olhar...

Abidemi

anyone would like a beautiful woman by their side, perfect in beauty and kindness... too bad she is made of rubber and has only one purpose....☺⭐

This is another track in my work-in-progress album "Sleep, My Boy" (2024), to appear by the end of this year. In it, my idea is to collect only this and another already released track, "Sleep, My Boy", but each of them will have a full, electro-symphonic version as well as acoustic versions.

The track was composed in GarageBand iOS spontaneously in the early morning of 19 September 2024 and mixed and arranged in Logic Pro on 29 September 2024. It was released here on SoundCloud on 19 October 2024.

The composition was inspired by my recently-born gorgeous grandson, while he was far away from me for long, travelling with his family. Apart from this electro-symphonic version, it also has 3 "acoustic" versions - the initial one for piano and the subsequent ones, respectively, for strings and for synthesisers: I intend to post these versions too as tracks coming later in the same album.

The artwork cover for the track as well as for the album uses a photo I took on 3 July 2024 that I cropped and annotated in Mac OS Preview on 17 August 2024.

Duration: 4:19 minutes
Tempo: 124 bpm
Time Signature: 4/4
Key Signature: D

Digital instruments used, in the order of composing and recording:

1. Synthesizer - Classics - Dreams and Visions
2. Synthesizer - Classics - Evolving Shades

Born in São Paulo, Brazil, Evandro B. Lira, also known as “Vintage Mutation”, has been a musical explorer since he was nine years old, when he started his first music studies.
In 1990, he became a trombone player, participating in “jam session” meetings and joining with some gospels orchestras. In 1996 he began his studies in synthesizer keyboards, suffering the influence of the electric guitar since 1998, when he started composing his first songs.
Active researcher on the relationship between music and mysticism, revives his experiences since 2016, expanding his sounds from synthesizers and guitars, in order to rescue all the classic and “vintage” atmosphere, for consequent transmutation into contemporary tendencies.
