"Fusion Reverie is a composition that explores the fusion between modern electronic textures and global musical influences, creating a soundscape that evokes both introspection and movement. In this piece, I sought to blend the delicate harmonies of the acoustic guitar and the clarinet's high-pitched harmonics with the subtle pulse of electronic percussion, within a structure that organically develops, guided by harmonic progressions that evoke a mysterious and profound atmosphere.

I aimed to create a piece that is both relaxing and captivating, where every chord and every rhythm contributes to a hypnotic auditory experience.

Fusion Reverie is more than just a musical piece; it is an invitation to explore a sonic world where past and present converge, and the listener is transported into a state of reverie and reflection."

"Amore Mio" is a composition born out of a desire to pay homage to the African continent and the rich culture that inspired it. With this song, I aimed to create a musical dialogue between African tradition and modern influences, blending styles like Afro House, Pop, and R&B. Every musical and lyrical element was carefully chosen to convey a warm, romantic, and sensual atmosphere that accompanies the central theme of the song: love.

The structure of the lyrics is a journey through various African languages, symbolizing the unity and diversity of this continent. In the first verse, written in Swahili, I wanted to capture the solar energy and vibrant spirit of East Africa, inviting listeners on a journey filled with light and love. The second verse, in Xhosa, brings dance and movement, evoking the power and grace of South African culture, with a vibe that celebrates life. The third verse, in Zulu, continues this energy, delivering a message of joy and unity, reflecting the communal spirit that defines African life.

The repetitive chorus, “Amore Mio,” serves as a leitmotif, a universal declaration of love, connecting the song's heart with a sense of passion and romance. Whether it's love for a person or for Africa itself, this simple and catchy refrain carries a deep message: love transcends boundaries and is expressed through the universal language of music.

Instrumentally, I chose a combination of acoustic guitar and percussion, which are present throughout the composition, maintaining an organic and authentic sound, close to African roots. Adding synthesizers, electronic drums, and modern R&B and Pop influences brings a contemporary touch, creating a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. 

The overall mood of the song is chill, relaxing, and positive, with a romantic energy, designed to evoke a sense of well-being, peace, and joy. I wanted listeners to feel transported to a warm and welcoming world, one where love and African culture blend seamlessly.

Through this composition, "Amore Mio" becomes an ode to African culture, a celebration of this extraordinary continent's beauty, diversity, and emotional richness. Africa is my source of inspiration, and through this music, I want to pay tribute to its places, languages, and vibrant soul.

Verse 1 (Swahili)

Jua linawaka, twende pamoja
The sun is shining, let’s go together

Sauti ya muziki, furaha ya moyo
The sound of music, joy of the heart

Verse 2 (Xhosa)

Ukukhanya kwelanga, masidanse
The light of the sun, let’s dance

Intliziyo yam iyaphakama, siyathanda
My heart is rising, we are in love

Verse 3 (Zulu)

Siyajabula, hamba nami
We are happy, walk with me

Ingoma yethu, siyathandana
Our song, we love each other

Amore Mio

They said ambition comes in polished shoes
with boardroom smiles and suit-and-tie decisions
We showed up barefoot, carrying blueprints
and a mind that twists equations into visions

We don’t fit your broken molds!
Tearing down the walls you build
Rising higher, never still
We don’t fit, no, we don’t fit your broken molds!

You said the gate is guarded by tradition
as if ancient bloodlines could own the right to dream
We storm the doors with ink-stained hands and pages
filled with futures you've never seen

We don’t fit your broken molds!
We’ll carve our names into the stone
Born to break, we won’t conform
We don’t fit, no, we don’t fit your broken molds!

You gave us your silence
But we turned it into a symphony
You laughed at our defiance
But we’re making history

The old cavalry marched in circles
guarding relics they thought would never fade away
But we ride wild with the winds of change
forging paths through the ashes of yesterday

We don’t fit your broken molds!
Shaping futures of our own
Watch us rise, not overthrown
We don’t fit, no, we don’t fit your broken molds!

We don't fit...
We don't fit...
We don't fit...
We don't want to fit your broken molds!

An old school rocking Christmas song, referencing an old school rocking Christmas song.

Lyrics:

Are you ready for Santa
Are you on the right list
Check your self so many times
I think you get the gist
When we were young
We assumed so many things
Mom and dad knew we were good
Let's see what Santa brings

Now,
When the song screams out "it's Christmas"
Have we been the best
We think back on the year that was
And have we passed the test
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
Were you naughty or nice
You worry 'bout the Santa list
And know he's checking it twice

What's the meaning of Christmas
Is it gifts, is it toys
The food, tree, and family
The never ending joys
Or is it something magic
Something undefined
A simple gift of giving
That enriches someones life

Now,
The song screams out "it's Christmas"
Have we been the best
The choices made the year that was
You hope you've passed the test
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
Were you naughty or nice
Don't worry bout that Santa list
He's already checked it twice

On the night before Christmas
And all through the house
The only thing that's stirring
Is the clicking of a mouse
Quick donate to charity
Before the list is done
You really don't get Christmas
And you're not the only one

When
The song screams out "it's Christmas"
Have you been the best
You can't change the year that was
But there's always next years test
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
So simply just be kind
Spread some cheer, light up their lives
And maybe you will find

When
The song screams out "it's Christmas"
It's really Christmas time

Are You Ready For Santa

"Raízes Unidas" is a tribute to Angola's beauty, diversity, and cultural unity. Through this song, I wanted to celebrate the richness of our languages and traditions: Portuguese, Kikongo, Kimbundu, and Chokwe, bringing them together in a message of love and solidarity.

This piece was inspired by the desire to show that, regardless of language or origin, our shared roots are stronger than our differences. I used elements of Afrobeat and Afrosoul to create a vibrant atmosphere, while the lyrics speak of the joy of connecting with our past and dancing towards the future.

This song is more than just music, it is an invitation to dance, reflect, and appreciate our collective identity. I hope "Raízes Unidas" conveys the same emotion and pride I felt while creating it. 🌍❤️

Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey! 🙏✨

[Verse]
Woke up dreaming in a painted sky
Colors dancing make me feel so high
Stumble through the world wide awake
Mystic visions I just can't shake

[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker like a distant star
Heartbeats echo in this old guitar
Echoes of whispers in the midnight streets
Every shadow got its own heartbeat

[Chorus]
Lost in the haze and I can't come down
Magic swirling fragrance all around
Feet on the ground but my mind’s above
Every moment feels just like true love

[Verse]
Lost my senses in a swirling fog
No clear path it’s a rabbit’s log
Find my way through this twisted maze
Gotta trust the light in this cosmic craze

[Bridge]
Running circles 'round the silver moon
Soul’s a melody that's out of tune
But the rhythm keeps on guiding me
Through the chaos it’s my symphony

[Chorus]
Lost in the haze and I can't come down
Magic swirling fragrance all around
Feet on the ground but my mind’s above
Every moment feels just like true love

The Haze

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.
