Just a couple of songwriters trying to find our way. Blessed with some INCREDIBLE musician friends (Tim Pierce, Matt Laug, Jimmy Z, Arlan Schierbaum, Bill Churchville, Rafael Padilla, Michael Parnell) that create the musical magic of Ruby LaRue!  Steve Valenzuela is our trusted engineer and studio Producer Guru. We'd be lost without them. We share our music during the mix process and welcome everyone's 2 cents. Thanks for listening! Rock on......Follow us on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/rubylarueofficial/

Hello, welcome to my page.

I've been making music since 1972. At the time, with Pedro Castro, we created the alternative rock band Petrus Castrus. 

The music I'm placing here is mostly from the home recordings of my ongoing projects and ideas. I created a few playlists (Inéditos) according to language:
Portuguese: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos
English: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-en 
Spanish: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-sp
French: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-fr
Italian: https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/sets/ineditos-it

I also placed the concept album "Três Jardins" in a playlist. There are two long tracks (Mediterrâneo and Isaías) for full concept albums, and corresponding playlists that gather some of their individual tracks. A playlist called Synergies gathers the collaboration projects with other musicians in the fantastic SoundCloud community

Petrus Castrus edited records can be found on Spotify and Soundcloud. See the Facebook Petrus Castrus page for more details, including comments about the recordings uploaded here. 

We are both amateur musicians, i.e. music lovers. As for me, I'm just an electrical engineer with a master in AI that really loves creating music and use it to share ideas. That is why all tracks include lyrics or texts.

By the way I'm not interested in third-party offers to boost the number of plays. I like it as it is, and I've always declined such offers. Thanks anyway. 

I don't repost much, just some tracks that I find outstanding and with very few plays, so I can help them to get better known. I believe that repost parsimony also makes life easier for those who follow me.

Enjoy!

*** UPDATE May 2025. Good news. The SC contractual terms have now been corrected, and our music will no longer be used for AI training. NOTE April 2025: It just came to my attention that, unless we do a separate contract, all our uploaded music in SC can be freely used for AI training. This is written down in the legal section, under the licensing paragraphs. What can (should) we do to change that? *** 

*** Note Dec 2024: Alas, AI generated content that is not disclosed as such is now being posted at an alarming rate, sometimes multiple tracks in a single day from fake artists that even write down fake introductions, saying how much they love music that comes from the heart. Please avoid reposting these deceptions, it only adds to the confusion.  And it encourages the algorithms to give them preference. ***

*** NOTE June 2024: Generative AI is becoming amazingly powerful. Nothing against it. Just to avoid the confusion and embarrassment of finding ourselves praising and encouraging mindless algorithms, I believe it would be nice for us to always disclose its usage in our tracks. What do you think?  ***

Thank you for taking the time to listen,  please 'like' my work if you are so inclined, and please comment, I do this by myself, so I appreciate all feedback..
It goes without saying, but no AI or Music Maker here, I'm responsible for every chord, melody and word, mix and master, for better or worse! (I do use VST's and samples)

Thank you all for listening and your incredible comments, I appreciate them all

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
