This a great groove with surprisingly good results from the aging tape. Melodic with a gentle drive and wry lyrics. I would like some of that "improvement powder".

Very happy and singing. Always beautifully composed vocals

Yes, this is very good! If you recorded it in the late eighties, I suspect it was reel to reel because it does sound high quality!!!

A great fun track José and amazing considering the recording constraints.

I'll let you practice in Italian, it can come in handy for you very soon.. (I hope:)): E' carina, la musica e soprattutto il testo con il suo "gioco di parole". E, sì, musica e arrangiamento sono  molto anni 80 :) Sono sempre stato affascinato da come la nostra creatività e i nostri stili musicali cambino col tempo, influenzati, nel tempo, dalle generazioni che attraversiamo.

I think that I am finally finished working on the REMIX for this track! I first uploaded it on 11/11/2022. Now there are three separate guitar layers. Each having it's own distinct sound created on my Boss SY-300 Guitar Synthesizer. One is my Taylor K24ce Acoustic (preset P55), the next is my Ibanez AF95 Hollow Body (preset P23) and the last one is my Vintage Vibe 70s Stratocaster (preset P39) through my Boss PW-10 V-Wah Pedal.

This is a home recording made on tape in the late eighties with my friend Camané and me in the vocals. "Pode melhorar" (it can get better) sounds just like "pó de melhorar" (improvement powder, a much requested magic stuff). There's a little distortion in the start. Accidents did happen in those primitive recording sessions.

PÓ DE MELHORAR
O céu escureceu, a terra abanou.
Abriu-se uma porta, e ela chegou.
Primeiro fui cavalo, depois promoveu-me a burro.
Primeiro levei um estalo, depois levei um murro.
Mas a nossa paixão não vai acabar, não.
Ela vai tão mal que só pode melhorar.

De um conto de fadas eu trouxe a magia.
Com o jeito das crianças constrói-se a alegria.
Com caixas de pó de perlim-pim-pim,
que agarram nas tristezas e fazem-nas chegar ao fim.
Não é pó de bruxa, nem pode enganar.
É pó de atitude. É pó de melhorar.

Pó De Melhorar

Our band was named Watchglass just after I joined and one of Mark's science teacher friends joked that we may as well have called ourselves Petri Dish. This is the song I wrote to give our band name more deep and meaninglfulness. Oh and we will be recording a modern version of this soon! 

Lyrics:
If I could sift out
All the elements
Maybe I could find out
What it's all about
A grain of sand
Or beach in summer tones
An autumn leaf
Or an ocean to the depths below

Well I took a step back
Then I made it three times a million
And what did I see
I saw the thing that keeps us turning

A lover's glance
Or fans at a Beatles show
A drop of dew
Or an ocean to the depths below
A bird in fight
or just a wish for a higher place
A single step
On an upwards staircase

Oh I took a step back
Then I made it three times a million
And what did I see
I saw the thing that keeps us turning

Oh oh, keeps us turning
Fires burning, yearning or even hurting
Love
All that was left in my Watchglass after all

*** NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  ***

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language (PO - Portuguese; EN - English; SP - Spanish; FR - French; IT - Italian), and also for concept albums (Três Jardins). There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community.

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!
