REFLECT YOURSELF        
(Evandro B. Lira, AKA ‘Vintage Mutation’)

Go out from the darkness and see who are you
Brighten the light of  your mind and see around you
   
The world is not so normal
As like you think
The world is not so real
As like you see 
Look to believe, think to live
Look to believe, think to live
                                                                    
Go out from the darkness, and see who are you
Reflect for a moment the meaning of the things 
And feel the waves of the sea teaching you to hear 
Feel little by little, little by little, little by little 
Till you can sleep

REFLITA (portuguese translation)

Saia da escuridão e veja quem é você
Ilumine a luz da sua mente e olhe ao seu redor

O mundo não é tão normal
Como você pensa
O mundo não é tão real
Como você vê
Olhe para acreditar, pense para viver
Olhe para acreditar, pense para viver

Saia da escuridão e veja quem é você
Reflita por um momento o significado das coisas
E sinta as ondas do mar ensinando você a ouvir
Sinta pouco a pouco, pouco a pouco, pouco a pouco
Até que você possa dormir

“The return of the mystics for the awakening of human consciousness”.

“Even times of oppression are worthy of respect, for they are the work, not of men, but of humanity, and therefore of creative nature, which can be harsh, but is never absurd. If the times we live in are harsh, we have the duty to love it even more, to penetrate it with our love, until we have removed the enormous mountains that hide the light beyond them”. (Walter Rathenau)

— Alchemical Catharsis: Is a term used in the context of Carl Jung’s interpretation of alchemy. According to Jung, alchemical catharsis is the first stage of transformation in the alchemical process. It is a state of disorder and disintegration that is comparable to the confession/catharsis phase of psychoanalysi. — The alchemical process of transformation has four distinct stages: Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas, and Rubedo. — These stages are the framework of Jung’s characterization of the four stages of character transformation: Confession, Illumination, Education, and Transformation, culminating in the completion of the Magnum Opus and the attainment of self-realization.

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

Fuel for Dance: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

The aforementioned composition evokes "the duty of the Human Being to express Life with intensity", that is, "to commit oneself with heart and soul to everything one decides to do". Vivid expression is the "fuel" that drives movement and art of existence (dance).

Ars Existentiae | The Art of Existence: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.


From the Latin ARS EXISTENTIAE, which translates to "The Art of Existence", it points out that at its core, all existence corresponds to the Primordial Manifestation, emanated from a single point.

"The musical composition has in its introduction the first impressions of the primordial manifestation, still contained in the ethereal. In the main theme, one can notice the subtle harmony design for the architecture of worlds. Consequently, already in the dense sphere of the manifested universe, the melody translates into the complexity and multiplicity of forms, to then end with the return to the ethereal, where the end of all things will be identical to the beginning, yet added to the experiences acquired over the period".

Ars Existentiae

From Mud to Lotus: Composed, arranged, performed and produced by Evandro B. Lira aka Vintage Mutation.

"... The cyclical nature of events leads to inevitable periods of obscurity (the immersion in the mud). The imperishable tradition makes it possible for humanity to emerge from them through hope, driven by unique symbols and messages of power, purity, and beauty (the blossoming of the lotus)."

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.
