"Requiem Of The Chanting Steel" is a sonic meditation on the devastating effects of war, the relentless pursuit of technological development, and the pollution that suffocates our planet. I composed this piece with the intention of drawing attention to how aggressive industrialization and global conflicts can erode not only the environment but also the very essence of humanity.

From the opening chords, the anthemic rhythm, present throughout the composition, evokes a grave and dramatic sense, symbolizing the ineluctable march toward destruction. It is a march of steel, of heavy machinery dominating battlefields and industrialized cities, but also of a humanity losing control. The rhythm becomes a call — a call for all of us to reflect on the path we are heading down. It is a lament for the loss of balance, a testimony to how technology has supplanted nature, and how unchecked development drives us toward a tragic end.

As the melody progresses, the weighty, intense tones of metal and synthesizers intertwine with more organic motifs, such as nature's roots beginning to wrap around the metal structures, symbolizing a return to a primordial state, a need to reconnect with nature. It is a story of resilience, of how nature reclaims its place despite technological advancement, but also of the inevitable decline of industrial civilization.

At the conclusion of the piece, male voices solemnly intone "Hora es" – a song of awakening, a call to action. This chant symbolizes the final moment of awareness. "The time has come" for us to awaken, to cease escalating global conflicts, and to stop destroying the planet in the name of false industrial progress. It is a plea to take action, in the twelfth hour, to save what remains of nature, of ourselves, and of our future.

This piece is meant to serve not only as a requiem for the world we are on the verge of losing but also as a manifesto for the necessary change. It is time to acknowledge the devastating effects of war and pollution and to return to balance before it is too late.

Requiem Of The Chanting Steel

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.
