about

"Terminal" was a song made out of an old poem I wrote, and it deals on the theme of death as a path of existential transformation, not exactly as a road end. The composition passed through some transformations as well until getting its final form: from an acoustic arpeggiated ballad to an electric prepared-guitar (played with slide and screwdriver) chamber-piece. The vocals are sung in echoing chorals, and I wanted them reminiscent of the Renaissance sacred works, as well as the guitar is arranged in a microtonal-spectral manner.

Recorded in August-September, 2010

lyrics

Terminal (Poem written in June 16th, 2006)


e deixe sua sombra em paz...

eu sei...
janelas não se fecham mais

alimento ao pôr-do-sol

calma,
lençóis da escuridão...

tremores,
vertigens no sono da sede

eu peço
oração ao frio vento,

silêncio
de olhos que cortam o ar...

English translation:


Terminal (Translation made in April, 2011)

Go
and leave your shadow alone…

I know…
windows don’t close no more

Feed for the setting of the sun

Calm down,
sheets of the darkness…

Trembles,
dizziness of the thirst’s sleep

I ask
prayer to the cold wind,

Silence
of eyes that cut the air…
