"The Thing With The Beast" is a deep and introspective song that explores themes of inner struggle and personal transformation. The lyrics are written by Emil Cioran, a Romanian philosopher and essayist, known for his pessimistic and often deeply philosophical writings on the human condition. 

His works have influenced many contemporary thinkers and continue to be a source of profound insight into the complexities of life. The English translation of the lyrics was entirely made by me.

Through this piece, I have strived to capture the melancholic and introspective essence of Cioran's words, blending an electro-pop musical style with reggae influences. The song's atmosphere is dreamy and contemplative, featuring C# major tones that alternate with its relative minor key, A# minor, adding depth to the emotional landscape.

Musically, the song has a medium pace, perfect for emphasizing reflection and melancholy. The instrumentation is predominantly electronic, with vocal presence featuring a Caribbean accent that provides a strong and immersive atmosphere. This adds emotional depth, amplifying the intensity of the lyrics and creating a unique dynamic that underscores the theme of duality: the man and the beast within. The song creates powerful images, such as the buffalo roaring inside the poet and performer, symbolizing the primal and crude forces within the human being.

All of this unfolds in a sad yet romantic atmosphere, evoking a sense of nostalgia and a longing for liberation.

The Thing With The Beast

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.
