Twist and Turns

Artigo 12 abril 2024

Twist and Turns Hello There's a weary manifesto circulating around in the world that boldly states: Listening to classical music, would make you smarter. But, it does not stop there, it continues saying; specifically when you listen music composed by Mozart. Well, I am sure we all have heard the venerate Mozart Effect theory that took the world by surprise in the 90's. This false notion, thanks to the media, has poisoned our minds and therefore, our egos. Making broad ...

 

Let The World Knows

Artigo 11 março 2024

Let The World Knows Hello, Advertising is a wide and complex activity that has become a rotten hell, full of unscrupulous minds that make lies a new normal, for the only purpose to procured costumers to spend more money in a very convenient way. Corporations across the world, follow the same methods and techniques. The philosopher George Santayana said: “Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better.” However, ...

 

Pink

Artigo 4 março 2024

Pink Hello, There's a lot to talk about the COLOR pink, which apparently, it is a color that people either love or hate, it brings out the good, the bad and the ugly on all of us. The color pink has become one of those dangerous puzzles that no one dares solved, and afraid of judgment, afraid of ridiculous society standards, people ignore the fact that it is just a gender-less color. Perhaps, people are truly afraid of getting stoned by the crowd if they, decisively, ...

 

Welcome

Artigo 28 fevereiro 2024

Welcome Hello, Ralph Waldo Emerson could have easily been talking about Bach's music when he said those words. "The show that never ends" reference is what makes me think of Bach. Now, there's a lot written about the composer, his biographers do not have it easy, there is so much extraordinary music left behind, but very little of his personal life. So, a lot of it is pure speculation. Music, as life itself, is similar to a first act scene that never ends; only the actors are ...

 

Vortex

Artigo 25 fevereiro 2024

Vortex Hello, There is a certain innocence about animals, If you look into their eyes, you'd realise that they know the secret of life. Such is the claim. But most certainly, if we talk specifically about dogs, then, I'm sure we'd agree that they can be more gracious than some people, friendlier than most mortals, and over all, better equip to pledge loyalty than all humans. I am 52 years old, I've never been a proud owner of a dog before. How can I have an opinion on the ...

 

Now and Then

Artigo 17 fevereiro 2024

Now and Then Hello, Eight billion humans sharing the planet earth, and everyone has a story to tell. We smile and cry, we get happy and sad, and we do not need to be in a beauty pageant to desire, desperately, world peace. The thing is, we are a unique, emotional bunch of individuals reacting, in so many different ways to the same problems. I would like to think that, perhaps, we do have more things in common than we are willing to accept. Everyone has a story to tell, it is ...

 

Colorful Contradictions

Artigo 27 janeiro 2024

Colorful Contradictions Hello, When I look at my past, I smile at all my accomplishments,  but I also frown upon my shortcomings. When I take a closer look at my present position, it energizes me and foreshadows with impressive precision what’s to come, that is, if I choose to imagine it. But I also know that the future can be terribly uncertain, and that there is no way around to avoid life's struggles. That is why, moving forward, the past is almost always a rotund NO, the ...

 

Taken Aback

Artigo 16 janeiro 2024

Taken Aback Hello, We live in a world that is NOT easy to understand, different situations can be clear and bogus, all at the same time, or so we think, depending entirely on the perspective we see it; the gigantic, colorful puzzle in front of us could be very complex, and therefore, difficult to solved or rather, to unsolved; this in return, could affect deeply our self esteem shredding it in a trice, compelling us to do the unthinkable. That is why I need music to mitigate ...

 

Sing Along

Artigo 3 janeiro 2024

Sing Along Hello, Most of us, can't explain in plain words, perhaps afraid of being banal, how a handful of organize music notes can create melodies that have the eminent capability of demanding our attention and make, under approval, our entire existence tremble of raw emotion, because, we actively anticipate pleasure upon hearing familiar notes, music can become an important antidote to our live struggles or an enhancement to our joyful days But, the lyrics of a song are ...

 

In My Dreams

Artigo 12 dezembro 2023

In My Dreams Hello, When morning comes and I wake up, I don't usually remember my dreams, and I prefer keeping it that way, I don't like to remember them, and I'm not interested because I hate dreaming, it is disturbing, it does not matter if the "suckers" are pleasant or not, it is a sinister human condition we share. The fact that my head plays a variety of absurd images without my consent while I'm utterly out, it is a complete transgression, therefore, I prefer to forget. ...
