The old ways are returning...


The old ways are returning. The icy southern wind, that blows across the Earth, are bringing the scent of inevitable changes. You can feel it penetrates, through your nose, into the flesh and bones, up to the depths of your blood. The bard was warned. He is awakening to make his harp sound the music capable to enter into the hardened heart of men. Now is Gaea who calls. And he will do anything, to find, set free and make sound the notes of the Song of the Spheres. He knows that this is the only way to prevent Kroll, master of illusion, from leading humankind toward total annihilation. For that the old ways are returning. It's time to get ready ... and open up our hearts for the changes! Soon ... in the next solstice of summer / winter, we'll release the first volume of The Song of the Spheres: The Bard and the Queen of Ice ...

The first volume of the story is going through the last review. The soundtrack, composed by HI-BRAZIL, is already finished. Appearing entirely in the digital environment, the album presents a new interpretation of classic elements, including philharmonic instruments such as strings, winds, horns and percussion, plus a choir of 24 singers, gently mixed with digital samples and electronic beats. The process of mastering took three months to get done. The whole work started at the end of 2005, with the first drafts of the text. The songs were composed from 2006/8. The 14 tracks of the album were chosen, among more than 30. They reveal the emotional tone captured from certain moments of the story. The work is being released under a Creative Commons license, which means that anyone can download, share content and even collaborate with us. If you want to know how, send us an email: hibrazil@mac.com.

Gargântula is a musical gem?

Ualluh! Once again, the kindness of MuzicHunter, from mp34U, has no limits...See what he said about Gargântula, after taking off the headphones:

"Irradiated meats come to life, dancing with ghosts of polar bears and genetically modified tomatoes that talk. McNewscasters gawk bewildered as teleprompters run amok. Critters frolick to the psychedlic trance samba sounds of HI-BRAZIL".

Well, Mr MuzicHunter, it sounds like if a little bird had told you what's going on in our imagery laboratories right now...

Putz! for you all

Hello, guys! Putz!, a new tune from Let's do the Samba! digital album, can be downloaded for free at internet archive. People from Hi-Brazil says it's about the claustrophobic sensation of being surrounded by fear, what produces an ecstatic reaction. Then, when the pressure reaches it maximus, the inner locomotive burns all the interior trash fear brings to suffocate the soul and the steam is released. And you feel like you had comeback from an abduction experience or something, commanded by some big force, a powerful strenght. And suddenly discover, with joy and relief, that you have been sleeping all the past time. And understand that from this moment on, you will be a human being, and not a hungry laboratory rat or a little frightened lamb stuck in a corral.
