I used only two sets of chord progressions: 
AFGE (Am-F-G-Em)  ( I - VI - VII - V )
ACGD (Am-C-G-Dm) ( I - III - VII - IV )

Am-F-G-Em was used only in the beginning (first 20 seconds)
and in the ending (last 40 seconds) of the track.

All the music stand playing along only Am-C-G-Dm.


=====================================================
MUSIC PLAYING AND CREATING APP
=====================================================
As I used Am key, that's only white keys, plain notes, to play in Piano. 
I worked accoustic and VISUALLY sequencing the notes within the scale,
mantaining simplicity and faciclity to play the arpeggios, considering that this music is a model to that songs I want to create to use in my "Music Playing App" for Android in what I'm working.
Whith the APP, ANYBODY will can see the arpeggios on the APP screen, play it, repeat the chords and melody and RECREATE AND IMPROVISE, creating a new and personalized song. That's the idea behind it.
=====================================================

Produced in FRUIT LOOPS 11
Simple structure. Ask me for the .FLP file and make your remixing! 

=====================================================
I'm working on a Musical Playing App, for Android first, where you can see the melody flowing (like a Guitar Hero game).

These 2 excellent (and must see) videos shows something of what is possible
wih music visualization (note by note, chord by chord...):

Bach, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, organ
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATbMw6X3T40

Beethoven -- Moonlight Sonata
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yojDu3E9jls

It uses a excellent software called "Music Animator Machine".

I'm working in something like that, but with different approach and objectives.

=====================================================

Revolving Emotions 4 (June 16, 2014)

A "dreaming" instrumental electronic music with 3 pianos (at left, center and right positions of the scene) saying different phrases simultaneously... followed by synths and drums.
I used a few arpeggios that I created and liked in my recent songs as musical presences in this new music, now with new melodies and poetry... Yes, poetry. Without lyrics, but each note, each arpeggio, each chord... talks to each other... and to us in a real musical dialog... and it says a lot about emotions, love and care...

Made with Fruit Loops 11
BPM: 72
Tonics: A C G D

Am, C, G and Dm... and finishing with Am, F, G, Em.

From the start to near the end I used only my favourite and usual progression "Am-C-G-Dm".  I finish with "Am F G Em" chords.   :-)

Boreale 2 (Dec 07, 2014) (Headphones optmized)

Original open collaboration public invite from Milana:
https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/sets/darkness-awaits-milana-open

Piano performance and melody (imported as a MIDI file): Milana Zilnik
Arrangement and drums: Julio Ventura BR

The original piano solo song from Milana is in 180 BPM.
I changed it to 144 BPM that's my preferred speed (this or 72 BPM) to make it a more 'chill out' version.

The Milana's piano song is so beautiful and complete that I kept it all the time, only adding some times a flute, a Rhodes electric piano (I used two different configurations) and some discrete drums only to emphasize some parts. 

Saying in other way,  the piano performance is from Milana, included here as a MIDI file, then converted from me in 4 equal tracks: piano, flute and 2 different Rhodes. I added drums to some parts only to emphasize it in a discrete way, working together with the added instruments, that alternates the presence along the music. The piano plays all the time, as in the original from Milana. I reduced the 180 BPM of the original file to 144 to make it more "chill out" tuned... the darkness can wait... ;-)

The original Milana's piano solo version still remains the better version... but this slower version, punctuated by flute and drums, and followed by an electronic piano Rhodes sometimes, may bring us some interesting "reflections" in the water of new musical interpretations... as with all the other versions. I hope you like it!  :-)

Darkness Awaits (Piano MIDI by Milana Zilnik :: Arrangement & drums: Julio Ventura BR)

From open collaboration inviting made by Milana Zilnik in: 
https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/moonlight-stroll-milana

In fact, her music and piano performance are so spectacular that the original piano solo version always remains the best!

But, if her original piano melody is the moon, incomparable, we can at least compose about the infinite nuances around a moonlight, when our new versions, with different instruments and arrangements, becomes the multiple different pictures of the same moon... along a nice "moonlight stroll"...

Thinking in that way, I listened the song many times, both original versions and all the others collab versions. It was amazing.

Then, composing my version, in 112 BPM this time, I started from the Milana's MIDI file (available in the link I cited before) and created first the complete drums line with the EZDrummer 2 VSTi on the Mixcraft 7 DAW software.
 
After that, I kept the original melody of piano to all VST instruments and distributed the presence of each one along many listenings and changes... one acoustic piano, one electric piano Rhodes, a flute, and the two instruments that starts the song: an amazing "synth mallet" to alternate and/or punctuate the two pianos and more drums:  a "melodic tom" to punctuate the rhythm in some places.

Picture taken by me in Sept 10, 2014, at 4h A.M., in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

Moonlight Stroll (Piano MIDI from Milana Zilnik; Arrangement & drums:  JulioVenturaBR.com)

Feat. Dirk Maassen (piano solo public collab)

Music composed as an inspiration from the song "Night Falls", from the "Open Collab for Einklang" public inviting from Dirk Maassen: soundcloud.com/dirk-maassen-official/night-falls-final-open-collab-for-einklang-please-repost-and-read-details

It starts with 15 seconds of the original piano solo song distributed as wav file for collabs.
Then, for 2 minutes, as falling in a dream, the music flies to new possibilities as a new song: 
1. a drums line is added, fading in from the original piano solo rhythm...
2. a strings like synth plays the base chords in the background... 
3. two electric piano Rhodes lines keep trying to find their own way, in a new melody... 

This all returns to the original piano song in the last 30 seconds, while keeping the drums line I added in my part. ;-)

BPM: 100
Chords: (Cm - Ab - Fm - Gm)
Key: C minor

"NIGHT FALLS" DREAMINGS (Feat. Dirk Maassen collab in the 15 seconds intro) - See descriptions

Collab work to Fivos Valachis calling in Soundcloud for versions to his original piano solo version in: 
https://soundcloud.com/fivosvalachis/antinoos2

========================================
This song was one of the chosen by the museum for the Fivos CD!!!   ;-)  Wow!!!  :-)
The CD is in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-triptych-of-love/id993278669
========================================

In my version, I amplify the intense rhythm of the original piano solo of Fivos Valachis adding two drums line (one with a complete set of drums and other with melodic toms following the melody) and two synths line (one to intensify the rhythm and other to intensify the harmony). The melody here is played with two electric piano Rhodes instead of the original acoustic piano of the solo version.

The melody, harmony and speed are exactly the original from the MIDI file from Valachis. 

The two drums line fitted incredibly well here, specially for a song originally created to be a piano solo song. Amazing how versatile and generous could be this intense Fivos song... 
The other two versions of this song on the CD prove it too! They are amazing! Check in the iTunes! (Link above, on the top)  :-) 


This original song is the part II of the Fivos trilogy

Triptych of Love - Momentum, by Fivos Valachis, arranged by Julio Ventura BR

Gnossienne 1 (Erik Satie)
A synthesized version from Julio Ventura BR

My new music (created inside a tremendous storm - what is someway always good) is a version to the classic from Erik Satie, Gnossienne 1, a very beautiful original piece from 1890.

For the original melody I used a MIDI file picked from
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bbowman/midi/satie
and made a somewhat spatial arrangement, using two Grand Pianos followed by many Rhodes Electric Piano tracks (in the melody and chords) and four different synths layering the background... in fact. eight synth tracks, as each one of the four instruments are using two different similar tracks (with differences in the distance, panning, presence and time shifting too). 

Here, each instrument has a well defined place in the space.
Easy to recognize, easy to follow... and nice to listen...  :-)

I don't needed to adjust panning manually. I only used a track on the left and a copy on the right, sometimes delayed a few decimal seconds, so the sound starts in the left, generally, and finishes in the right... or returns... ;-)

The secret of the moving is in the manually modulation of the volume level and presence of each one of the twin tracks in the time line... the differences does the spatial and movement sensation by itself in a easy way...  :-)

Awaiting  (HEADHONES SUGGESTED - 2016, Jan 30)

"Chillout to the Moon" is dedicated to the birthday of a good friend of mine, a girl that loves the moon... 
And is beautiful and charming... like that! 
And is distant of me too... like that!
But, who cares, if you have the moon in your heart?
So, to the moon... and to you my friend! 

Happy Birthday!

:-)

=======
Not exactly a composition from the scratch, like all my songs,
that I usually compose starting from the MIDI keyboard and piano.

This one is more like a production with a band (a digital one, here), 
assembling musical pieces: loops, chords played from different instruments, recorded individually. A collage... with a message!  ;-)

It was produced with Magix Music Maker 2016,
using loops available inside the software and Magix store.

Simple and easy, despite it's not so flexible like constructing all this in the MIDI keyboard. But with a fast and interesting results!
And result is the point here. 
A fast way to construct the mood, the vibe... and make it fly!  :-)

Chillout To The Moon (May 27, 2016) - (collage of loops from Magix)

Temia que um dia do amor cansaria
E não mais teria esta nova paixão...
O sabor da primeira... a saudade, a vontade...
Pra vida o motivo, pra tudo a razão!     
         
Me encantam teus olhos, teu sorriso fácil
Tua boca, teus lábios, tua pele macia
Tú és a ternura, a meiga figura,
Tú és doce mel, água fresca e fartura.

Me encanta e inspira o teu jeito charmoso, 
Faceira, meio tímida, sem jeito, criança,
Traquina, que brinca, e reinventa, a alegria,
A magia, a menina... a mulher.

Me encanta teu canto, me rendo ao teu jeito.
Me acorda os sentidos: desperta emoções. 
Provoca o desejo: são mil sensações.
Reflito, aflito: o que passa comigo?    

Me encanta e cativa o teu jeito suave, 
De moça, elegante, segura, serena,
De santa pureza, mordaz sutileza,
Atraente, envolvente... a mulher!

========================
TRANSLATION
========================
I was afraid that, one day, of love I would be tired
And I would not have this new passion ...
The taste of the first ... the longing, the will ...
For life, the reason... for all, the reason!

I love your eyes, your easy smile
Your mouth, your lips, your soft skin
You are the tenderness, the sweet figure,
You are sweet honey, fresh water and plenty.

Enchant and inspire me your charming way,
Complicated, half shy, awkward, child,
Tricky, who plays, and reinvents, the joy,
The magic, the girl ... the woman!

I love your (natural) song, I surrender to your way.
It awakens my senses: it awakens emotions.
It provokes the desire: they are a thousand sensations.
I reflect, distressed: what happens to me?

Enchant and captivate me your soft way,
Young, elegant, confident, serene,
Of holy purity, mordant subtlety,
Attractive, engaging ... the woman!

Universal Love (With Lyrics)- (EARLY PREVIEW 4)

Electronic instrumental with piano, flute, bass and synths (strings like).
Subtle, soft, dreamy... Optimized to be listened WITH HEADPHONES.

WHY HEADPHONES: The middle melody (from 1 to 2 minutes of this 3 minutes song) is constructed as a dialogue with the piano and a distant flute, in a quiet and subtle way and ambiance that requires the use of headphones (in this arrangement). The same to the ending part.

Key: C  - BPM: 81

Acordo já pensando

Cabelo arrumado, qualidade de retrato
O meu melhor perfume... Tudo isso pro meu gato!
Porque... Hummmmmm... Hoje eu vou te encontrar!!!

Mais que no trabalho, aqui beleza é essencial
Vestido apertado, decote bem marcado
Eu tenho pouco tempo para dar o meu recado
Porque... Hummmmm... Hoje eu quero impressionar!

Saio de casa e vou para o trabalho
Todos os dias, o mesmo itinerário
Espero se preciso, para ver você passar
Te sigo na calçada, nos seus passos vou colar
Porque.... Hummm... Hoje eu vou te conquistar!
