Dalliance - A brief love affair

Perfection
It´s not every day that one music breaks from the convoluted process of creation and expands beyond, gaining life on its own, this happened with Dalliance. Immediately after placing the first sound in the grid I knew that this music was going to be special.

What started to be another flimsy track, strangely grew an exciting vibe that morphed the entirely grove emancipating itself.
I knew that this music was no longer my own creation, something more powerful was controlling me and I was only one’s tool of creation.

This brief love affair erupted and could no longer be contained, not even one hundred men with guns could swerve me from my path. The line was plotted in a way that was unalterable and I was very happy with that.
Every sound was delivered one after another in a methodical and symphonic way as if I was being conducted by a long time ethereal maestro, each one pasting perfectly in harmony as if they were meant to be together all the time. I knew that this was going to become the PERFECT MUSIC.



Then without warning the lights went off in my house, my computer screen was black as the darkest night. I panic, I cry, my work lost, my brief love affair disappeared, vanished, gone.
Why? I asked myself. Why give me this brief magic moment of delectation for then disown in a sudden lifeless moment of despair?
Why?

Ten minutes later the lights went on. I was afraid to turn on my computer since I didn’t remember the last time I’ve saved my work. If I knew how, I would have prayed the gods begging for a miracle, but I didn’t know how, I’m not a catholic, I was alone.
Waited for four hours until I had the courage to turn on the computer and see if there were any survivors to this light tsunami.
I pressed the on button. The computer took what seemed an eternity to startup and when finally I was able to access the music file and check its integrity I was presented, to my dismay, with an empty file.

And suddenly as it appeared, my brief love affair vanished in sorrow into to the guts of the black hole of darkness.

The random desert - a movie buff life

Movies were always a big part of my life and naturally are a big influence in my process of inspiration when creating music.
Not long ago I’ve revisited one that really made a mark on my movie buff life, the name of that cinema masterpiece was “Lost Highway”.
This 1996 American psychological thriller written and directed by David Lynch had, in addition to its thoroughly surreal plot and characters, one of the most diverse and inspiring soundtracks ever.



As I watched “Lost Highway”, all the movie sounds and music that were kept deeply buried in my mind emerged and persisted in a stubborn wish to hum the hypnotic melodies that remained after the credits roll. “The random desert” is a reflection of the emotions translated to sound as I process all the information gathered throughout the visioning of the David Lynch disturbing, magical and unique work. There’s obviously a cinematic vibe cradling this music winch gives it a really unique vibe and sets it apart from all the other creations I’ve done so far.


Hope You enjoy.
