  Erasing boundaries  Apagando as fronteiras         This is a bonus track from C.B.'s project , exclusively made as a gift for my son for his birthday.    Special day , special sounds, on this composition the piano, bass and drums run slowly , melodic and harmonious from the begining to the very end.    Happy birthday Gus , love U !    Essa música é um bônus do projeto C.B. pois foi exclusivamente composta como um presente de aniversário para meu filho.    Um dia especial com sonoridade especial, nessa música o piano, baixo e bateria apresentam-se lentos e melódicos do início ao final.    Feliz aniversário, Gus , te amo !             Gustavo H.F. de Sousa                           (2025)

  Erasing boundaries     There's so much to say but my tremblin' lips keep quiet    My fingers move out of mind's control just like dancin' from the strings to drums and keys       Seems like it's the very end of a long seach , sounds appear , harmoniously     Mellow notes automatically bring a smile on our intrigued face    My watered eyes close as the gates of immaterial are opened     Wish is not a question anymore , I'm here and there     Nothing but a vector with god's permission for delivering     It's yours by fate and as wage , glorious conquer shall be exalted     From an inbetween place i thank the creator , in complete silence , for havin' you around     Separation fades like an old picture , a brand new start point rise from a blessed blow over a candle     A circle of love emerge on me and you , protecting and n...

 The long wait / A longa espera     The long wait is the 3rd song from C.B. project, here a piano wich starts softly and melodic increase it's intensity along the song as well as the drums until the final part where It turns gently melodic to match the bass line.    On this vídeo there's also a poem : 70 grAMs of TRUth, previously posted here:  https://oxoioduck.blogspot.com/2025/07/70-grams-of-truth-between-synapses.html Hope U enjoy !    A longa espera é a 3a música do projeto C.B. , aqui o piano que começa suave e melódico aumenta sua intensidade bem como a bateria que o acompanha até a parte final onde volta a ser suave e melódico para "encaixar" no contrabaixo.    Nesse vídeo está presente o poema: 70 grAMAS de VERdade (versão inglês) que já foi previamente postado aqui: https://oxoioduck.blogspot.com/2025/07/70-grams-of-truth-between-synapses.html (inglês e português), espero que desfrutem!

    Transitional complexity    It's difficult been a fraction and know that the whole is completely different from what is in dispute for addition and maintenance    Even more difficult is seeing that each fraction struggles to be  proportionally larger, aiming for a whole that , in a broader perspective ,  will always be  part     It's difficult understand that there is no word of change that directs paths, because the green fruit needs time for it's perfect confitions for consuming    Even more difficult is to pay attention to what's ahead when most people are driving in circles (necessarily) and don't even notice    It's difficult been the seasoning that no one asked for , the faded clothes , the weight that tones the muscles , the vector that changes trajectories     Even more difficult is being neutral in an environment increasingly polarized by personal interests      It's...

Hapapul     This is the second song from the C.b. project, this composition begins with a vigorous drum solo, the "urban" tone is due to the noise of vehicles passing throughout the song, which runs directly into a gentle bass and piano intro, creating an intriguing contrast between the force (drums) and the softness (bass and piano). Throughout the track, the drums lose their initial intensity and play as a supporting role to the piano, which alternates between intense and soft moments, with the melodious bass line continuing along until the  very end. The material presented on vídeo included details of 2 oustanding acrylic paintings wich was lately finished and posted here:    Bubbles.  -  https://oxoioduck.blogspot.com/2025/05/bubbles-bolhas-2025.html   and       Station   -  https://oxoioduck.blogspot.com/2025/05/station-2025.html  .     This was made with singula...

Capsicum baccatum     This is a brand new musical project I'm startin' today, C.B. project will be a kind of vigorous jazzy sounds or just a place inbetween rock and jazz. Sounds with tradicional piano, drums and bass , played on an unconventional way. Unfortunately it's recorded with a "home made"  sound quality due to the low budget available for this project , hope U enjoy , it's for free , it's for fun⚡.    Esse é o novo projeto musical que início hoje , o projeto C.B. tem característica sonora de jazz tocado de uma forma mais vigorosa. Aqui a clássica formação musical do jazz com piano, baixo e bateria encontra uma forma menos convencional de expressão. Infelizmente a qualidade da gravação ainda é "caseira" devido a limitação de recursos. Espero que gostem, é de graça, é para se divertir! ⚡     The 1 song of this project is called "Spicy " and the short notes played with intense/energetic mood are the "DNA" of this one.  ...

The blue finger         On a late afternoon, with gathering of possibilities, the finger turned blue       Too much commitment and compassion placed on the table of uncertainty and the finger turned blue       There was great bravery and belief in what is not mind limited        With purity from hair to the toes, the direction of a choice made the finger blue    The ink expressed / expression, on a day of intervention became a path and an end, pouring through its conductor       On a late afternoon where the roosters were silent, the dragonflies spread in the air  that the finger turned blue        The blue was exposed to the sun that was setting on the horizon, gentler than a guide dog        The  soappy waters of night downgrade the light pulsing from the perennial expression of a long and precise...

  Hard work  Trabalho duro      Yes, reached the finish line for the π project . With "hard work" (the 10th song)  project π is finished and I'm very proud to release this piano (sometimes with others instruments) work. This was my 1st time (in this life time) with a piano  and since i was a child i got used to hearing/seeing the piano played by adults and without  permission to any acess to this instrument , was a glorious moment for me , It was waited for such a long time and i did my very best at our first meeting    I hope you enjoy this song wich as the very first (7) is played only with the piano. Thanks for your appreciation and support, a new musical project will arrive as soon as possible 😎 !     Siiim , chegou o fim do projeto π , trabalho duro é a 10a e última música do projeto que me deixou muito orgulhoso pois foi um projeto dedicado ao piano (algumas vezes com outro instrumento acompanhando), mas acima de tudo f...

  Paths (Between synapses project)     Paths are stitches on the living fabric, they are open spaces far or near , a stair railing , a sword coming out of its sheath     Paths of breaking and building , spherical or non-spherical routes, influential paths of expression , paths of silence and introspection     Paths of textures and imagination , solidifying polymers , acquisition in time and space , new formatting     Paths without direction, increased attention , soul washed with cold waterfall water and the all-seeing eye wanders through the present, past and future     Paths are seasonings for the senses that yearn for choices (fragile bubbles) to follow the wind and with an expiration date     Paths - shortcuts, seductive trails that massage tired shoulders and omit that walking is eternal and that the most beautiful verse is pure silence     Paths - conclusions , pleasure of an expected arrival or end of a cy...

  Beyond the clouds  Acima das nuvens  (From π project)     I usually post  here songs from the π project with a short technical information about It , but this 8th song is somehow special enough for more than those few lines...on the opposite way of the others, this song raise from the bass line that was so beautifully etheric (from my perspective) that justify the seach (exaustive) for a piano match. This song was "built" on my mind from the "feeling" of a very early saturday where i awake very early and from my high point of view the "city" was still sleepin' while i had my breakfast watchin' the sun raise with clouds as my guests . On this i played bass and piano, hope you enjoy !       Normalmente eu posto aqui as músicas do projeto π com uma breve especificação técnica da composição, mas esta 8a música, de forma contrária as outras, "nasceu" de uma linha de baixo tão etericamente bonita (do meu ponto de vista) que justificou a busca...

Between synapses project  Projeto entre sinapses  May-25       Planetary conditions bring grace through paths opened by a flood of tears and the pages of a thick book advance as if exposed to the fan      Necessary arrangements soften the impact on an open chest and illegitimate leaders receive questions and conditions for harmonious transitions      Insistent abuses are seen as what they are: volatile demerits with established limits      Eyes find no barriers for their match as staples fall and staplers collapse, dizzy with the vigorous love that envelops without distinction      Tunnels are accessed and examined in detail, allowing for an exponential increase in flow      Compartmentalized understandings merge in the directed light of the singular and what was even becomes odd      Saturn was shaken from the top to the bottom and the clocks adjusted in harmonious orchest...

Between synapses project  Projeto entre sinapses  New era     At this moment when the "new" is not yet understood and assimilated, the "old" says goodbye to the bonds of space-time and uncertainty permeates all continents      Uncertain of everything, I got up from bed facing west, buttered all the tests, put them on the hot plate, added a cold coffee and absorbed     The truth became rain and the street shook with the appearance of yet another hole wrapped in orange,  artificial as the smile of a child posing for a photo     On the streets I passed through, I hold up the cutten wire and touched the pole, whoever felt my shock will never, ever, forget me     Many people passed by me but not a single person without a mask. All the passersby, with heavy loads, wanted intervention or deep sleep     Many have heard/hear directions and feel divinely blessed, guided by God and I am sorry to say, fellow travelers: ...

      How this become that? Project  Como isso se transforma naquilo? Projeto           Probably this project will have only this single vídeo wich explore what's behind a painting artwork process (from zero to it's finish line). I paint on any surface from canvas to cardboard but usually use special paper. My technique have 4 or 5 basic steps wich are: 1 - Foundation (triple or double layers of colour - depending of the surface material) , 2 - Preparation (using fingers as brushes), sometimes this step is not used , 3 - Refining (with brushes of all sizes and forms) , 4 - RE-ADD (reinforcement of weak points with new layers over previous and adding new elements ) and 5 - Finishing (for protection the triple layer of varnish is usually required).     From the idea until the end of execution it could take 10 or 30 days of hard work, time consuming and discomfort for been at the same ...

  π Project  /  Projeto π     I'm rally proud to release this new musical project, the main instrument on this project will be the piano. The 1 song called 7 was the number of  this song on my storage (the 5 song recorded in a day) and the very first I was almost shaking once i reach the end... so much energy around , so much phisical effort, sweat all over my body (i'm not a pro musician), after this one i run for a towel before keep going on the record sequence. I hope U enjoy this and the "comming" songs of this project. Just as the others musical projects I played all instruments (piano, acustic bass and drums) and did all the technical issues (recording, editing,...) .  P.S. - For those who will listen with phone ears the hiting noise on the keys will be easily perceived ( I assume I treat the keys badly...lol) , I decided not supress It to keep the energetic aura of the record session   E N J O Y !     Estou realmente feliz em...
