Another demo for my Music Production class, now more on the minimal side. Deeply inspired by Atoms for Peace and The Knife

NOTE: Laptop speakers make it impossible for the bass to be heard in the demo so you might wanna use some earbuds or sumthin' sumthin' hehe

My first ballad written and recorded during Christmas times. Sung in spanish.

Una canción para recordar los tiempos perfectos; para ti de tu amigo JP.

Vocals, guitar, arrangement and production: Julio Prato

Lyrics (Spanish and English)

En español:
Cuando pienso en la distancia
No pienso en metros ni en horas;
Pienso en la falta de tu oxígeno.

Mis ojos me arden de la escarcha de imaginar
Tu porcelaneada sonrisa,
Tus alas de gaviota,
Tu voz.

Los astros te rodean,
La luna baila tu canción
O es que tú eres la Luna?

Canta y respira, mi diosa;
Si gritas no te escucharé
Pero el imán de tu aire me encontrará.

Gracias por encontrar en mí
El pedazo de nube que le faltaba a tu cielo,
Ángel fugaz.

Exhala, mi vida, ya pasó,
No te preocupes por mí;
La paciencia si es virtud si es por tu calor.

In english:
When I think of the distance
I don't think of meters or hours
I think of the lack of your oxygen

My eyes burn from the glitter of imagining
Your porcelaine smile
Your seagull wings
Your voice

The stars surround you,
The Moon dances your song
Or is it that you are the Moon?

Sing and breathe, my goddess,
If you scream I won't hear you
But the magnet of your air will find me

Thanks for finding in me
The cloud piece that your sky was missing
Fugacious angel

Exhale, my love, it passed
Don't worry about me
Patience is a virtue if it's for your warmth

-Julio Prato

Exhala

*Note: Everything except the drums and the vocals is done with a guitar

New, darker electronic demo, this time with vocals!

Vocals, guitar, production, mixing: Julio Prato

Lyrics:

The barricade of sound never stopped;
We looked, we sung,
We struggled for a cause.
Contemplating wasn't enough,
I needed focus;
Focus on my transition,
Your transition into blank

Focusing in on a nonchalant discovery.
The noise drew a magnet in my lung.
The oxygen stomped through,
The heartbeat proved not true;
I faded into your heavily locked memory
Of my songs for you


Focus

Rocket launches are probably one of the most intense activities in the world. The adrenaline rushing through the astronauts' bodies must be as infinite as the universe itself. However, what strikes me as interesting is how something as intense as a rocket launch leads to an element as contrasting as the peacefulness of floating in space. It is this astral debate that inspired me; the flow through the stages of turning the engines of the spaceship on and off... and the respective consequences.
