"The Pounamu's epic: Te Aroha a Poutini me Waitaiki" is a poignant tune breathed into being from that heart-wrenching Maori legend of love and sacrifice and eternal bond. This folk song is rich in New Zealand's cultural heritage. It penetrates into the love, unrequited love of Poutini—the keeper of sacred Pounamu—for the beautiful Waikiki. Against the magic landscapes of Te Wai Pounamu, this is their story, enacted in a composition that marries sad and romantic moods to reflect the complex emotions of the tale.

I aimed to encapsulate the essence of the story through its reflective pace with a medium variation, at times reaching its emotional peak, vividly portraying the depth of Poutini's turmoil and love. 

Then, by drawing a melancholic D minor key, with mixed vocals, man and woman, and the deepness of the bass guitar, it pulls the listener on a journey of eternal love and promises.

'The Pounamu's epic, Te Aroha a Poutini me Waitaiki,' is not just a song; it's a love soundscape etched into the awe-inspiring landscape of Aotearoa. The melody weaves a tale, each note beckoning the listener into a realm where folklore and music combine, and the spirits of Poutini and Waitaiki reside. The tranquil waters are adorned with myriad Pounamu stones, a testament to their eternal love.

Follow me on and listen as the tale of Poutini and Waitaiki resounds through your love, sacrifices, fullness, and emptiness, which come with the human pursuit of connection experiences.

Fighting against the odds to leave behind a difficult past and build a brighter future. It’s a tale of resilience, hope, and the relentless pursuit of success.

[en] “Play My Birthday” is my birthday party in musical form.
I invited artists who have been part of my journey in psytrance to create tracks that would be my gifts: each one carries a piece of history, affection, and shared trajectory.

This V.A. is an affectionate record, an encounter of worlds that have crossed paths in my sound and in my personal life. There are people who have been with me since the beginning and artists who came later to expand, add to, and open new eras alongside me. If my birthday party were music, this would be the sound of "Happy Birthday," and that was the intention of the album: to unite the beginning, the middle, and today in a single story.

“Play My Birthday” doesn't just celebrate my birthday. It marks a turning point, a rebirth, a new phase of my project and my life. And, like any good surprise party, this V.A. arrives with that feeling of:
“nobody was expecting this… and that's what makes it so enjoyable.”

[pt-br] “Play My Birthday” é a minha festa de aniversário em forma de música.
Convidei artistas que fazem parte da minha caminhada no psytrance para criarem faixas que seriam os meus presentes: cada uma carrega um pedaço de história, afeto e trajetória compartilhada.

Esse V.A é um registro afetivo, um encontro de mundos que se cruzaram no meu som e na minha vida pessoal. Tem gente que está comigo desde o começo e artistas que chegaram depois para expandir, somar e abrir novas eras ao meu lado. Se a minha festa de aniversário fosse música, este seria o som do parabéns, e essa foi a intenção do álbum: unir o começo, o meio e o hoje em uma história só.

“Play My Birthday” não celebra só meu aniversário. Marca uma virada, um renascimento, uma nova fase do meu projeto e da minha vida. E, como toda boa festa surpresa, esse V.A chega com aquele sentimento de:
“ninguém estava esperando por isso… e é isso que o torna tão gostoso.”

Nibriell is the pseudonym under which I sign my musical and literary works. I was born in Romania, a beautiful country in Eastern Europe, but I also live in the UK. For personal reasons and symbolism, the pseudonym is inspired by the names Saint Nicholas (Ni) and Archangel Gabriel (briell). 

     As for my musical activity, I do not define myself through traditional terms such as artist, musician, or composer, but rather as a music creator. This term is much more suitable for my musical activity. I have only one regret: not being born with the talent to sing or possess a musical voice. 

     However, my passions for music and literature have been cultivated with interest throughout my life. With the advent of AI in our lives, it has been very successful in producing high-quality vocalizations, which instantly encouraged me to start creating melodies. 

     Therefore, in my creative workshop, DAW software, music editing, and AI technology are the tools through which I express my vision. By using AI to generate the distinctive voice of my pieces and recreate the sounds specific to traditional or archaic instruments, I bring to life the stories I present to you. 

     My entire creation, from one end to the other, tries to tell a story, whatever it may be. From myths and legends worldwide to stories I create, they are dressed in melodies and harmonies that exceed language and culture, touching a universal chord of human emotion. With each composition, my goal is to open a window to imaginary worlds, inviting the listener to explore ancestral myths, personal narratives, or those already existing worldwide. 

     Using a mix of modern sounds and traditional elements, I aim to create a bridge between the past and the present, between the real and the fantastic, offering the listener an auditory experience and an emotional and spiritual journey.

     So, Nibriell is the pseudonym that unites all these creative sides and expresses the desire to create and the belief that art, in all its forms, is a vehicle for understanding, compassion, and connection among people, regardless of their origins or borders. This is the path I have chosen to follow, one in which every note and word contributes to creating a more extensive work of all humanity, an ode to the beauty and complexity of life.

     Although AI plays an essential and decisive role in my work, it does not define its direction or quality at all. I entirely write the texts and melodic lines, and the voice generated by it is the product of my strict vision and supervision.
