Pawel Strzelecki: String Quartet No. 18 "No Silence" (2024), 21' ca.

Teth Sin finally seems to be back with a cool wicked track called Gazelle, featuring his friend Luna on vocals/recitation. She decorated with her vivid poetry one of those creepy, dark soundscapes I've been working on these last few months. I sincerely thank her for this amazing contribution, and for her active involvement in the whole creative process of this title. Thanks for taking the time to listen to it.

Uncrowned queens, warrior princes,
the tiger flies in the air.
The flag howls in the cold of the sad west, and blond curls win.
The panther's lost the game, watching the sun.
The Gazelle weeps on her broken leg.
And she's alive

Abandoned Rooms

The 1st movement of the String Quartet No. 18 "No Silence" (2024).

Pawel Strzelecki: 1. Prelude [String Quartet No. 18 "No Silence" (2024)].

As we enter 2024, a reminder that there is no fate. We make our path as we walk. And, if we are willing to give more than what we are required to give, we are actually in command.

*** Não Há Destino ***
Quiseste um passo, andei a milha
só para mostrar quem manda.
Quiseste o manto, dei-te a camisa,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Minha alma é livre, ninguém me obriga.
Ninguém nos leva a esperança.
Não há destino. Ao caminhar traço o meu caminho.
Quiseste a bolsa, eu dei-te a vida,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Pediste um esforço, dobrei a esquina,
só para mostrar quem manda.
Meu credo é simples: Amor é vida.
Ninguém nos leva a esperança.
Não há destino.
Ao caminhar traço o meu caminho.

*** There Is No Fate ***

You wanted a step, I walked a mile
just to show who's in command.
You wanted the cloak, I gave you the shirt,
just to show who's in command.
My soul is free, no one forces me.
No one takes away our hope.
There is no fate. As I walk, I make my path.
You wanted the purse, I gave you my life,
just to show who's in command.
You asked for an effort, I turned the corner,
just to show who's in command.
My creed is simple: Love is life.
No one takes away our hope.
There is no fate.
As I walk, I make my path.

Não Há Destino
