New year's gift     So , were openin' the door to 2025... 2024 was such a challenging year , beside personal issues on the second half of the year I had problems with my eletronic device wich is used to produce and store all my creations... It was more than a month...without the possibility to post anything and to make It worst at the very end I lost so many works already finished, just waitin' to be released...but even over those unfavorable conditions I was still producing material from my creative process...now at the  end of this year, i'm doing this double release...

     The 8 poem from"Between synapses" project is called:  To birds (with love)    I filled my hands with what was possible and scattered the bird food in the air (around me)    They came and without hesitation gave themselves over to the banquet offered with the kindness that only spontaneity can deal     They multiple different colors added life to the green monotony of the grass present   The feeding frenzy did not last because the quantity and/or voracity of the guests did not match with my skills in holding and spread   Many, whether sated or not, left immediately, but some remained nearby     They watched from afar, grateful for the offering or perhaps simply hoping for a perpetual source of nourishment   Their songs reverberated through every orifice of my body, ionizing matter and leaving the air rarefied.    Imersed on sound that heals body and soul, I smiled and signaled real solution to the n...

  Transfer     The bag was full and the heavy weight on my back seemed to increase as the drops of sweat fell to smooth out  irregularities on the journey   I tried to spread my best for passers (releasing the weight), I tried to walk following the wind, I tried to smile    Pedestrians relieved themselves by dispersing weight randomly and compulsively in an almost desperate, sometimes in hostile way    The initial strength that paved the way, exposing the maked up obscurity, gave way to technique and the trajectory gained occasional pauses.    Skills gained over long journeys proved to be crucial for the transfer of this heavy bag on time    The aromas, the bright colors and the dead, whether alive or not, demanded attention that was impossible to satisfy    So we continued, me and a heavy bag, tinkling sound signals that relieved the (almost unbearable) weight of the posts        We pass, lea...

At body's limit    At body's limit , there are drops of salty seismic shock that call for action    Missed and misaligned threads insist on remaining in an adverse (greasy) environment     At body's limit , encounters are pacts whose intensity breaks the carnal cage and watered  the soul's windows      The strength of a smile (even if it's a fake one) is enough to sustain the inviolability of the lace that keeps the systoles synchronized     At body's limit , sinuous curves add tensions and channels have their floodgates open to everything that is objective     The proximity of nothingness makes it possible to touch the closest accessor of God with the stretch of the arms    At body's limit , purposes are unknowable and constricting , work is done to maintain what is perishable   Pain mixed with uncertainty atomically impregnates everything that has polarity and visibility diminishes...

    The song #5 is relatedto the "akash"/ eter element , the divine wisdom wich holds all knowledge and pushes the "new" , the sacred presence of god interfacing all dimensions. 101 (Echoes from forever) is my ask for blessings from the eter/"akash"/divine providence, fount of unilimited wisdom.    On this particular song  i worked playing bass guitar,  drums and piano , this (last song of the project)  was the very first song wich was a great composition (in my non professional musician opinion) and the only one wich have no one "new" version along the process of mixing and recording , was the "untouchable one.

  Hands Out of My Pocket (H.O.M.P.) #4 - Bem-te-vi  Bem-te-vi is the #4 song , this word in portuguese means a popular term used to define a bird (Great Kiskadee) endemic all over the country wich has a peculiar way of singing and through the air spread its sonorous identity. Saint Exupéry once said: "...The essential is invisble to the eye.. " , the AIR element is the great sustainer of (aerobic) life , great conductor on transformation/tranmutation processes by itself or associated with other elements.

  Hands Out of My Pocket Project (H.O.M.P.)   The project "Hands out of my pocket" emerged as a request for blessing to the 5 elements that form and regulate life on this existential plane     In all the songs on the project, the bass guitar is the main musical instrument, on which other sounds are "fitted in". The five songs belonging to the project were composed, performed, recorded and mixed by me and therefore, I make my veto explicit about their use for commercial purposes without my authorization   Projeto Hands Out of My Pocket (H.O.M.P.)   O projeto "Hands out of my pocket " ou em português:" Mãos fora do bolso" surgiu como um pedido de bênção aos 5 elementos formadores e reguladores da vida nesse plano existencial   Em todas as músicas do projeto , o contrabaixo é o instrumento musical principal , sobre o qual acontece o "encaixe" de outras sonoridades.

    When an album is released usually there are few songs that touch deep in an unique way.  This instrumental album from Almir Sater , from my perspective , have all songs with this deep touching , i would says it's a "magic" album from him! Thumbs all the way up for this outstanding work !  ;  )    Quando um álbum é lançado, normalmente tem aquelas músicas que te tocam e outras que parecem "normais ". Esse trabalho instrumental do Almir Sater foge do convencional, no meu entender,  por ter a excelência de ir fundo numa conexão transcendental em todas as músicas.  Para mim é o álbum mágico do Almir Sater,  polegares totalmente levantados para o Almir Sater!  ; )

Chapter 15 – The return   Yesterday before going to bed, I set the alarm to go off at 4 o'clock the following day and it was completely unnecessary because throughout the night (which I couldn't sleep) I check the time almost in 1-hour intervals. At 4 am I was already up preparing breakfast and separating the trash to discard before leaving     The day was already clear when at 6:15 I picked up my suitcase, backpack and trash to be disposed of in an appropriate place and headed to the São Thomé das Letras bus station. On the way I saw a situation worthy of an event with a large crowd of people: glasses , cans and garbage through the narrow streets, the odor of beer and urine very present and some people still wandering the streets and trying to enter their homes and guesthouse rooms, some clearly under the influence of substances that alter consciousness. Arriving at the bus station I could see a lot of people waiting for the bus to the Três Corações city . Some peop...
