In this music, I tried to compose a sorta soundtrack for 4 situations in the book Capitães da Areia (1937) by Jorge Amado within 3 movements concert. It has some Brazilian and African percussion instruments, all widely used in regional music from Salvador, the city from the book. I was influenced by Dorival Caymmi, a famous Brazilian composer at the time the book was published, to compose some tunes for a "cavaquinho" in the concert. As the orchestra plays, a narrator reads some excerpts that I selected and adapted from the book. The first 2 situations (I mov.), happen in the same place, Trapiche (from chapters "O trapiche" and "Noite dos Capitães da Areia"). This place was their home in the book, an abandoned wooden dock at a beach in the city of Salvador, Brazil. The third situation (II mov.), happens in a square that has a carousel, from the chapter "As luzes do carrossel". It was a very magical and special moment for them. And the fourth one and last (III mov.), happens in some hills of Salvador, a chase moment of a failed robbery from the chapter "Como um trapezista de circo".
I hope you all enjoy the story with music enhancement! Jorge Amado is a Brazilian author to be proud of! This book is his masterpiece!

Mirage's musical journey mirrors the illusionary nature of sound, bending and refracting across genres, creating an experience that captivates and transcends expectations in the realm of music production. Originally hailing from Québec, Mirage (formerly known as ‘Blackout’) began delving into the fusion of house and hip-hop on the analog grooves of vinyl in 2010. With an innate ability to craft rhythms spanning G-House, breaks, and beats, Mirage seamlessly weaves scratch routines into his bass music tracks, navigating the BPM spectrum from 87 to 175. In his latest exploration, Mirage immerses himself in the depths of 140bpm and Deep D&B, consistently pushing the boundaries.

Beyond the studio, Mirage is a community-builder in Victoria, B.C.'s music scene. The architect behind Dubversified Culture, he founded this underground community in 2017 with a mission to elevate local West Coast bass artists and forge connections across global Dubstep and House scenes. Mirage's dedication underscores his commitment to navigating the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.

Composer for Media and Contemporary Classical Music. I compose music for Short Films, Games and instrumental classical music. I hope you all like and share it!
