Today listening to :

It's one month already my CD player is continuosly playing
"Silent Alarm", the last CD from the new band named "Bloc
Party".

They're new, powerful, refreshing, regenerating,
psychedelic, original, enchanting, visionary, melodic,
emotional. What could you ask for more ?

From Clotilde May in response to my post Autumn thoughts

I received a nice and kind mail in response to my last post,
it's an interesting point of view and I gladly publish it.
You may agree with it or not, it depends on your beliefs,
but the real point that makes me sad is that mankind still
need a God to make this world a nice place to live in, while
we all should look for a new better world to build in our
hearts and from our hearts.

From Miss Clotilde May, USA.
MODERN MAN has lost respect for the earth in his greed for
comfort, speed and commercial gain." So reads the jacket for
the book 5000 Days to Save the Planet. We are living with
the results of man's greed. And whether theories about
global warming prove true or not, one thing is sure-man is
damaging our beautiful planet. Our only hope is the
fulfillment of the Bible's promise that God will "bring to
ruin those ruining the earth."-Revelation 11:18.God will
replace the corrupt system of human rulership with an
entirely new system. Before brushing off that idea as
religious nonsense, consider this: Who would know more about
the needs of earth's environment than its Creator? Such
criticisms are not reasonable, however. The World Book
Encyclopedia defines a miracle as "an event that cannot be
explained through the known laws of nature." By that
definition, a color TV, a cellular phone, or a laptop
computer would have been considered miracles just a century
ago! Does it make sense to be dogmatic and call something
impossible simply because we cannot explain it according to
present scientific knowledge?

Another fact to consider: In the original Greek language in
which the "New Testament" was written, the word used for
"miracle" was dy'na·mis-a word basically meaning "power." It
is also rendered "powerful works" or "ability." (Luke 6:19;
1 Corinthians 12:10; Matthew 25:15) The Bible claims that
Jesus' miracles were a manifestation of "the majestic power
of God." (Luke 9:43) Would such works be impossible for an
almighty God-One who has an "abundance of dynamic
energy"?-Isaiah 40:26.

Although God has permitted imperfection and suffering for a
long time from the human viewpoint, he will not allow bad
conditions to go on indefinitely. The Bible tells us that
God has a specific time period for allowing these things to
happen.

"For everything there is an appointed time." (Ecclesiastes
3:1) When God's allotted time for permitting wickedness and
suffering comes to its conclusion, then he will intervene in
human affairs. He will bring an end to wickedness and
suffering and will fulfill his original purpose to have the
earth filled with a perfect, happy human family enjoying
total peace and economic security amid Paradise conditions.

Autumn thoughts

These kind of things really make me mad !!!

I'm reading on papers ....somebody's thanking
hurricane Katrina saying it's god's punishment , ... the
jews are doing it because of bush support to sharon's
decision to withdraw from gaza, muslims are doing it
because it's allah's punishment for usa sins,
i think that the so called god or allah or whatever the
name, has something better to do than listening to
dogs' barkings ... what a pity and sadness for mankind
and our freedom of thought .... I don't believe in
religions, i think that they will bring mankind to a
anticipated ending ...
With nowadays technology and knowledge we could
build millions of heavens in this world but we're still
stuck with our heads in some god's ass ....... waiting for
useless never coming miracles, how sad .....

Why is music so important ?

Many ask me why I like music so much.
I have the highest consideration for music. Besides being
part of the material world, with its physics laws, music is
also made out of the dream world. Music brings together
transcendence and materialism in a way no other art can do.
All we need to enjoy it are just our ears and imagination.
Music has also other interesting peculiarities.
Music has the magical power to make different kind of people
realize that they share the same feelings.
It gives mankind something in common to all races and people
everywhere.
Last night I was looking at the Live 8 and chatting with a
student from Yemen who was asking informations about the
concert. We had a long nice chat and I learned some things I
didn't know about the life in Yemen. We found a common
ground in music, so that the communication could begin and
we could talk openly to each other because we shared the
same interests, we felt closer. Later I though that we could
never have had a chance to talk if it wasn't for music. We
were interested in each other's world. I think that people
is just the same wherever you go, all they want is to live
in peace, in a safe place, have food and health ...we're all
the same no matter our religion or colour. We should stop
thinking about our differences. Music and the TV media
tonight could dissipate a small percentage of the atmosphere
of incomprehension and fear, with Pink Floyd's words we
brought down a wall. Never believe the lies they're feeding
you. All we need are our hearts... and music of course.

Reviews

I got a couple reviews of my songs from Queenie, a
singer, girl with an awesome dreamy voice.
This will help me to answer when people ask me
which genre of music I write.
  • NEW WORDS
  • http://www.dariomusic.com/newwords.htm
    Post new-wave, like Smashing Pumpkins or even Cure.
    Very creative use of harmonies and I've never heard a
    vocoder used like this. The piano "breaks" are very
    pleasant. There is nothing like this elsewhere, very
    bizarre and again with a Gothic touch.
  • QUELLO CHE TU SEI
  • http://www.dariomusic.com/quelloche.htm
    Dark and menacing!
    This reminds me of the music I listened to in high
    school, very dark and gothic. It almost sounds like
    organ in the background, adding to the haunted
    atmosphere of the song. Fast moving with heavy guitar
    and syncopated drums.
