So cool!  Love the way you develope that harmonic movement

D'une grande pureté harmonique, cette composition et son interprétation me touchent ardemment.

Música magnífica. Sublime. Excelente trabalho, José.

Unfortunately, I only discovered this version of the piece today. Josè, what you have done is simply fantastic. For me, it's much more than just an "add on". I know the original version by Anastasiya and also the version with David's orchestration. With your vocals, the lyrics and your great vocal color you have enriched the piece incredibly. I congratulate you on this idea and realization.👏💫

Je découvre cette collab impromptue et c'est magnifique à la fois dans l'instrumentation, la composition et la voix

In Some Unexpected Way

Voiceless

What is now?
What is now?
What you see from me is already in the past.
For sure it's a short time lapse, a small fraction of a second.
Light is fast, and there's just a few steps separating our pains.
Will you please now forgive me?
Will you please now forgive me?
Behind what you now see, there is already a different man.

GANSURINGA (Ft.Sky Latte)

REVERENCE

I gently pushed the heavy door.
It opened as an invitation.
My steps searched for the proper pace.
Not too fast, not too slow,
driven by carefully crafted thoughts,
not too harsh, not too kind,
as the stones all around me 
seemed able to read my mind.
I listened carefully to the stillness of light,
in deep respect for the truth to come,
the final verdict for my troubled life.
Deep inside I knew I would just kneel and accept,
for I too would see the fullness of my heart.

Aubade in the 5th section of my Philip Larking song sequence In the White Hours. Although there is a poem by Larkin with that title, this section of the work is a purely instrumental interlude 'Dawn Song' that leads into the final setting, Morning at Last.

IN THE WHITE HOURS v Aubade

I was angry, because I couldn't play this beautiful piece, because I'm lefthanded but hold the guitar as righthanded. So I'm happy to present this. With many thanks to Don for the link to the midi.

variation on Asturias (Albeniz) with beats

"I will never know"is a poetic descent into the fog of dementia — a song about the slow unravelling of self, memory, and the bonds that once defined a life. Through vivid imagery of fading books, lost seasons, and fractured identity, the piece explores the quiet tragedy of watching the world slip away from within.
It is a lament for the person we were, and the love that struggles to remain when names, faces, and moments drift into shadow.
A haunting reflection on memory, identity, and the ache of becoming a stranger to your own life.

The best song from the Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 soundtrack. A timeless classic, given the orchestral treatment!

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:
Portuguese: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos
English: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-en 
Spanish: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-sp
French: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-fr
Italian: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-it

I also placed the concept album "Três Jardins" in a playlist. There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums, and corresponding playlists that gather some of their individual tracks. 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!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. 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, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** 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?  ***
