Shock the Algorithm

THE MUTE is a protean creature.

It has no face, no identity of its own. It is made of everything that constitutes the world around us: sensations, feelings and emotions. His face is therefore in constant evolution, depending on what he perceives around him.

It represents our time, its successes, its progress but also of its defects. THE MUTE is condemned to wander in our world and testifies of what he feels by the music and by the multiple visual expressions of his face.

Discover now this 80's retro synth pop full of melancholy.

Conversations Of The World

Song with a mysterious message

The Blue Room – smoke and whisky and tears….

The original idea was a smoky, jazzy, late night club-for-lonely-hearts kind of thing.  But since my “jazz” piano always ends up honky-tonk, and I can’t seem to lose the backwoods in my voice, the final product – though still smoky & late night – is more lonely hearts beer joint than jazz club.  Jazzabilly maybe.  Redneck Blues. 
								
But there is a plan to give the song a little jazz credibility.  I play an organ solo mid-song that I actually wrote for saxophone.  I’m sending the song to my little brother, longtime Atlanta musician Herb Avery, who says he knows a sax player who’ll take it on.  So if Herbert can make that happen, I’ll upload the new version later.  If he can’t, I’ll be looking for a sax player out there. 

My daughter Julia helped out vocally on the choral refrain.

So here we go.  Come set for a spell in The Blue Room…..when nobody loves you.

The Blue Room (orig. version)

Rainfall and a haunting melody, born from the ecological devastation wrought by Vale's Rio Doce catastrophe. A predicted tragedy, echoing through communities surrounding Brazil's mines.

It’s gonna rain, the dry land will soak.
It’s coming down, the dam will provoke.
It’s the law, we’ll pay the toll.

It’s gonna burn if the earth gets too hot.
We’re gonna lose if the water won’t drop.
It’s the law, don’t let it rot.

Can we still believe in this land,
That elects mining tycoons as eco-grads?
Miners who killed the people,
Who killed the rivers’ soul,
Who turned into mud what God once made whole.

Is it worth it? Will it be worth it?

Rise again, from ashes to bloom.
Learn to care, before it’s our doom.
To live, to breathe.
To live, to breathe.

Without nature, life will fade.
If we don’t start now, nothing will be saved.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
lyrics:
Hear my body scream, hear my soul is weak, i can't control anymore
i tried to set it free, i tried to tame this freak, but it's up to self control

and i will never learn and trust is hard to earn
as i lose my self again...

Bright lights calling me, neon life sets me free and i am right here to stay
The sun rise up again and i still understand the dues we have to pay

This is a track created by RiZLiX called "Anything Goes" with my guitar playing added to it. Thanks to IPG1, FRAWSTAKWA and RiZLiX for welcoming this recording.

I recommend that anyone learning to play the guitar listen to this piece over and over again, playing the Gm/B♭pentatonic scale in various ways, and trying to find a phrase that you like.

The volume adjustment during mixdown is optimized for the environment when using the earphones that come with the iPhone. If you feel that the volume of the guitar playing in this work is low, please use earphones and check the volume balance of this recording. It seems that earphones other than those that came with the iPhone do not have any problems. When using an Android device and when connecting an audio interface to a PC, I connected inexpensive earphones and confirmed that the guitar volume can be heard at a roughly appropriate balance.

There is another way. I have embedded a SoundCloud player on my blog to introduce my works, but I noticed that this work sounds harder (mid-high tones are clearer) than when played directly in the browser. If the guitar volume seems low or the sound quality sounds cloudy, please open the following and play this recording with the SoundCloud player embedded there.

Save A Place (The Yash Remix)

My new single ABCZ 500 out on major platforms now!
Link in bio or https://linkco.re/NMzxBT85 

Until now, my music was almost completely ununderstood except for the SoundCloud community (I am very grateful to you). Why is that? I haven't even been able to face that question. However, this time, with the beginning of 2025, I will also change! I decided. I have to break out of my shell. I have to incorporate trends. That being said, since I did all the work, the music ended up being strange and typical of me. It's a strange piece of music, but I think you'll enjoy it. Go ahead and press the play button.

Lyrics :
I want your lover to give you away
Your eyes blue eyes talk me too much
So long so long time ago
I had desire to forget them
(Go?)

Tell me the number
I hate your lies
When it is rainy
It's time to leave
So much confusion 
Steps to hell
Nobody knows my secret job

A B C D
A B C Ah

Sit down 
Stand up
Fading hearts
There is no choice
Already in
I saw
You found
No mistakes
'Cause you love to rock 'n' roll
(Go?)

Troubles
Silence
There's no truth
When you look back in trash in the cage
I say
You have no possibilities
No
No
No overcome

A B C D
A B C Z
Woo Hoo!!
(Go?)

ABCZ 500

Haunting One Seven

A Deity Looks After Me

Black Dark Humor is a sad poem about the routine of life in a big city like São Paulo. A difficult day in the life of an ordinary Paulistano, facing work and dealing with the chaos of the city. A day when the earth stood still.

Black Dark Humor
Close the door, turn off the light;
The dream has just begun...
Another blinding day of heat,
And burning flames...
Last month hasn’t ended yet;
Time is just a shadow...
Through these hazy days, I agonize,
Then beg for mercy...

Have some pity on me;
I’m both devout and crude.
Sentenced to twenty years
In the penitentiary of boredom...
Now and then I try, at last,
To sigh without a thought...
To drown my feelings deep inside,
Then take off and fly.

It’s six o’clock, the morning’s here,
Yet the rooster never crows...
But my stern, responsible self
Shakes me up to rise again.
The bell tolls, I hide the sky,
A sky that bears no light...
The world still turns, yet somehow,
It stopped spinning for me...

Black Dark Humor (Negro Humor Negro)

Lyrics:
Manifesting like a queen
My life's a movie scene
Come and check out all my cars
Living large like the stars

Anything I want I can make real
Pulling my future from the quantum field

Yeah, I'm living my best life in the simulation
I could get out but I don't want the complication
Just admit that this is the perfect situation
The simulation, the simulation
The simulation, the simulation

If I want to watch a show
I flick a switch on my remote
When the Knicks are on the floor
Then I'm sitting centre court

Worked my way to the top of my field
That's how I pay for all of these ideals

Yeah, I'm living my best life in the simulation
I could get out but I don't want the complication
Just admit that this is the perfect situation
The simulation, the simulation
The simulation, the simulation
The simulation, the simulation

They said why don't you try one of these red pills
Well, I tried but all I got from them was chills
To be wide awake you gotta have the skills

And things don't get any better than this
I'm living life of pure bliss
No, things don't get better than this
I'm living life of pure bliss

Things don't get any better than this
And if I had a word, I'd say pure bliss

Yeah, I'm living my best life in the simulation
I could get out but I don't want the complication
Just admit that this is the perfect situation
The simulation, the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation
I'm embracing the simulation

I need an all-inclusive trip to Mexico


Living my best life in the simulation

Remerciements à Albert-Paule pour ce superbe vocal

Lyrics. 
Once in a while
The stars collide
Once in a while
The waves will rise

I’ll be your diamond in the rough


Once in a blue moon
The heart will sing
Once in a blue moon
My heart will sing

I’ll be your diamond in the rough…
