Hello, my name is Emerson Marçal and I live in a world of dreams. I've always loved music. Since I was little, I listened to classical music that my father loved and I learned to love it too. However, my passion began with movie soundtracks, where from a young age I would whistle and hum melodies I created in my mind. I've always had a lot of difficulty with memory. It was hard to learn music theory, but somehow the music would appear in my mind without me having to put it on paper. When I bought my first keyboard, a Roland Prelude, I composed some harmonies and, using editing programs, I made my first instrumental song called "Sea Serenade" which you can listen to here on SoundCloud in the "Made in Roland" section. Even as a beginner, I played several separate parts and then put everything together with an editing program. I didn't create sheet music; it was just the bass clef, and the rest came from memory and through many repetitions to remember it, since, as I said, I had a lot of difficulty. After more than a decade, other tools came along that allowed me to create music with incredible timbre and performance quality. Although I can create something like that in my mind, I couldn't transcribe it into sheet music or anything like that, and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to afford an orchestra to play for me. Therefore, I use all the technology available to me to realize this dream. However, I don't expect technology to create everything. I edit, many parts and parts, until I get what I really want. I've spent almost a month editing a song. Therefore, my music does contain a good part of what I thought and wanted, and not just something I requested in a prompt. There's a whole process of verification, alteration, until I actually post the final result. I don't care if it's easier or not. Life has never been fair to me. I live in a country that, for the most part, doesn't encourage good music. There are a large number of people who only appreciate noise and drumming with horrible lyrics made solely to promote wrong and immoral behaviors. That's what's successful here. I have absolutely no means to study music theory as I would like, and there are no fair opportunities for me to dedicate myself to it. Even if I did, it would be extremely difficult to get any return from it, because in addition to that, I need to work to have at least a decent life where I can eat and have some things for myself. So, I'm just sharing this work, this dream, which I couldn't do any other way. However, the songs were created to inspire me in what I'm really doing. A story. This one is my own creation without any creative technological input, just my imagination and that of my co-writer Rafael. It's a long work that should take about five years to complete. The songs are for the book. I have no intention of selling them or becoming successful, just to add emotion and inspiration to what I'm creating. Although I managed to distribute some, my intention was only to share them. I pay for these tools and still haven't earned anything financially. I'm just using the resources I can afford. If you wish to appreciate it, you’re most welcome, and you’ll see that my work was not done carelessly.
