aidkaramazov I loved this album immediately! You feel yourself in the waves of water and of ineffable emotions! I am also very fascinated with the 'concept' and the 'purpose' of the album: sort of "Roots" by Sepoltura of the years 2020s! This mix of samba & shoegaze is something which seems to work in that purpose!

uma súplica 02:31
renascendo a terra arrasada recupero uma oração soterrada clamando pra que a fúria da água tenha misericórdia de nossa morada e me permita reflorestar minhas cicatrizes banhadas pela lama e me faça te enxergar nos sinais de uma flora renovada pela erosão das ondas ou pelo som do trovão acolhe minha alma em seu corpo de água me dissolva em sua maré eterna e preencha meu mundo de cores ---------- (a supplication) as the scorched earth reborns i recover a buried prayer crying out for the fury of water to have mercy on our home and allow me to reforest my scars bathed in mud and make me see you in the signs of a renewed flora by wave erosion or the sound of thunder welcome my soul into your body of water dissolve me in your eternal tide and fill my world with colors

e as correntes vão nos levar e me dissolvo nessa água e o sol vai abençoar os tons de inverno e o mundo é vasto, desajeitado e novo todos os detalhes que nunca percebi estou viva, descendida a meu núcleo sinto em meus pés o sal dessa terra correndo pela água que me faz sentir que a luz vai persistir e não há vento que a leve pra longe meu bem querer, deixa eu te mostrar que a lua nova vai lavar tuas lágrimas olha pro céu, refletindo o mar em sua imensidão o meu corpo vai flutuar (e as correntes vão nos levar) a chuva que um dia só lama carregava agora em sua nascente vai me purificar (e me dissolvo nessa água) roga por nossas almas, oh deusa do mar me enlaço em seus braços e encontro minha casa me dissolvo nessa água que nos cobre e se renova junto os meus pés na areia e esse chão não me falta em seus ombros vou deitar me encosto nos seus braços deixo a água me lavar porque sei que estou viva e o sol vai queimar meu rosto e o mundo é vasto, desajeitado e novo a chuva que um dia só trazia lama agora em sua nascente vai me purificar ---------- (sea’s prayer) and the currents will carry us away and I dissolve myself in this water and the sun will bless the winter tones and the world is vast and clumsy and new all the details I never noticed I am alive, descended to my core I feel the salt of this earth on my feet running through the water that makes me feel that the light will persist and there is no wind that can take it away my dear, let me show you the new moon will wash away your tears look at the sky, reflecting the sea in its immensity my body will float (and the currents will carry us away) the rain that once only carried mud now in its source it will purify me (and I dissolve myself in this water) pray for our souls, oh goddess of the sea I wrap myself in your arms and find my home I dissolve in this water that covers us and renews itself I put my feet in the sand and this floor doesn’t lack me on your shoulders I will lay I lean into your arms I let the water wash me because I know I'm alive and the sun will burn my face and the world is vast and clumsy and new the rain that once only brought mud now in its source it will purify me

tuas pegadas 07:08
vejo tuas pegadas correndo soltas pela água em sua parede laminada seu corpo me desloca quebrando o céu reflete o teu olhar quando a maré baixar o que vai sobrar pavimenta a terra roxa tão frágil e delicada sobre as tuas ondas eu faço minha casa o que me falta pra ter a graça de encontrar o céu na terra se meus olhos não podem enxergar nenhum fio que atravessa o ar essa sina eu lanço a mim mesma e se eu não tiver a graça de ver seu córrego desaguando ao mar tracejarei na areia suas pegadas você nunca vai andar sozinha então deixo o mar me levar minha casa é sua após a chuva só resta lama e as coisas naturais dessa vida quando meu corpo se decompor e se levar de volta pro mar não restará mais nada nenhuma preocupação, aflição, dor, luto, angústia, culpa ou consciência ou necessidade de compreender o absurdo da existência e pra onde devo ir que sentido dar ao espírito ou o que se diz ser que necessita apoio, um encontro, um repouso, que alivia a agonia da ausência divina então deixo o mar me levar minha casa é sua em tuas pegadas tudo vai se encontrar ---------- (your footprints) I see your footprints running wild through the water on your laminated wall your body moves me breaking the sky reflects your gaze when the tide goes down what will be left pave the purple earth so fragile and delicate over your waves I make my home what do I need to have the grace to find heaven on earth if my eyes can't see no thread that passes through the air I cast this fate to myself and if I don't have the grace to see your stream flowing into the sea I will trace your footprints in the sand you will never walk alone so I let the sea take me my house is yours after the rain, only mud remains and the natural things of this life when my body decays and take itself back to the sea there will be nothing left no worry, affliction, pain, mourning, anguish, guilt or conscience or need to understand the absurdity of existence and where should I go what meaning should I give to the spirit (or what it is said to be) that needs support, a meeting, a rest that eases the agony of divine absence so I let the sea call me my home is yours in your footprints everything will find itself

sempre que o sol me encharcar com seu banho de fogo te vejo em reflexo da onda banhada num corpo de cristal a desafiar sua fúria eterna a cumprir o movimento de erosão dos vidros do mar me transmuta numa porção de sal me encosta no seu corpo eterno faz de mim parte da sua arrebentação que renova através dos anos tudo que um dia se desfez na oração meu corpo de marsala se encontrou na sua trilha de turquesas o seu afluxo me acolheu pra regar meu deserto de galhos ressecados quando iemanjá receber as velas que você acendeu verá que o mundo todo é seu e quando o tempo solar se esgotar quero saber se essa praia aqui estará contendo os avanços do oceano e junto ao cascalho, a poeira estelar se funde na areia ao meu corpo formado por sal cintila todo o universo me renova através dos anos faz de mim parte dessa arrebentação e me encosta em seu corpo eterno junto a toda a água dessa oração ---------- (from sand and salt) whenever the sun drenches me in its fiery bath I see you in the reflection of the waves bathed in a crystal body to defy its eternal fury to fulfill the eroding movement of sea glass transform me into a portion of salt lean me against your eternal body make me part of your surf that renews through the years everything that one day was undone in prayer my marsala body found itself on your turquoise trail your influx welcomed me to water my desert of dry branches when iemanjá receives the candles you lit you will see that the whole world is yours and when solar time runs out I want to know if this beach will be here containing the advances of the ocean and next to the gravel, the stardust melts into the sand with my body formed by salt sparkles the whole universe renew me through the years make me part of this surf and lean me against your eternal body along with all the water of this prayer

dissolvo meus olhos no horizonte vendo as ondas perdidas se integrando ao mar como os reflexos dessa vida se afogando em nossa percepção limitada rezo pra quem nunca pode me escutar por um milagre que me faça renascer na água que desintegre esse corpo sujo de terra e me leve pra junto de sua nascente eterna banhada em água, terra, sangue e lama só o toque dessa corrente pode me lavar me dissolvo em um milhão de grãos de areia e perco então os pedaços que formam quem eu sou no meio do choque da água com a erosão das pedras desintegra-se o que forma minha memória cada vez mais deslocada, não consigo alcançar e grito pra deus pra que tamanha miséria eu só queria recuperar um momento pra respirar dentro de um corpo que enfim me pertença eu grito no abismo da minha existência por alguém que possa me escutar e o silêncio ressoa com indiferença nas paredes desse corpo isento de uma alma me inunda com sua corrente de fogo e queima os restos desse corpo proclama em minha alma sua maré divina e me preencha com suas ondas salinas quebra em mim o fogo do sol e lave minhas entranhas quebra em mim a força das ondas e lave tudo o que me pertence e quando a sétima onda retornar pra inundar esse mundo de lama e transformar tudo em parte da sua água seu movimento etéreo me transforma minha consciência é um relapso momentâneo que se encerra pra desaguar no oceano o que me compõe vai se renovar todos os caminhos desaguam no mar não sinto nada além do sol queimar minha carne e evaporar toda a amargura desse corpo renascer novamente em uma flor ---------- (the seventh wave) I dissolve my eyes on the horizon seeing the lost waves being integrated into the sea as the reflections of this life drowning in our limited perception I pray to those who can never hear me for a miracle to make me reborn in the water to disintegrate this earth-stained body and take me away to your eternal source bathed in water, earth, blood and mud just the touch of this current can wash me I dissolve into a million grains of sand and then I lose the pieces that make up who I am in the middle of the water clash with the erosion of the rocks the particles of my memory disintegrate increasingly displaced, I can't reach and I scream to god why such misery I just wanted to take a moment to breathe inside a body that finally belongs to me I scream into the abyss of my existence for someone who can listen to me and silence resonates with indifference on the walls of this body devoid of a soul flood me with your stream of fire and burn the remains of this body proclaim in my soul your divine tide and fill me with your salty waves break the fire of the sun in me and wash my insides break the strength of the waves in me and wash everything that belongs to me and when the seventh wave returns to flood this world with mud and turn everything into part of your water your ethereal movement transforms me my conscience is a momentary lapse that ends to empty into the ocean what makes me up will be renewed all roads lead to the sea I do not feel anything beyond the sun burning my flesh and evaporate all the bitterness of this body be reborn again into a flower

em trilhas de água, vejo o sal de tantas almas (pelo tempo seladas) que como uma estrela, já tiveram sua luz apagada (há mais de mil milênios) eu paro pra ver seus raios cósmicos atravessando o fundo (do oceano) e rezo pra que se absorva o brilho que perpassa (os séculos enterrados) e quando a luz solar se esgotar, que corpo irá guardar sua radiação? e transmutar anos em ondas, montanhas e placas de terra? vejo renascer o calor do mar a se estilhaçar em mil pedaços eu quero saber em que direção o vento entoa o seu canto e clamo pra que o tempo só pudesse parar por um instante e se possa ver a cor do céu resgatar seus tons de novo e se as ondas do tempo afogarem nossa percepção me diga, daqui a cem anos, você ainda vai se lembrar de mim? me diga se quando eu morrer você vai me reconhecer se encandeiam no fundo do oceano as estrelas que caíram do céu junto a poeira cósmica em nossos corpos de água ---------- (water trails) in water trails, I see the salt of so many souls (sealed by time) that like a star, have already had their light turned off (more than a thousand millennia ago) I stop to see your cosmic rays crossing the bottom (of the ocean) and I pray to be absorbed the brightness that permeates (the buried centuries) and when sunlight runs out, which body will store its radiation? and transmute years into waves, mountains and plates of earth? I see the heat of the sea being reborn, shattering into a thousand pieces I want to know in which direction the wind sings its song and I cry out so that time could only stop for a moment so you can see the color of the sky recovering its tones again and if the waves of time drown our perception tell me, in a hundred years, will you still remember me? tell me if when I die you will recognize me dazzling at the bottom of the ocean the stars that fell from the sky next to cosmic dust in our bodies of water

about

From the waves crashing on the shore to the depths of the ocean, “corpos de água” dives into the many shapes of water as an attempt to explore life's eternal themes. Dealing with the loss of someone I loved with all my heart, I saw the fragility of life and its end imminently hovering in the horizon, forcing me to confront my own mortality. I was desperate to grasp the absurdity of our existence and understand what cannot be understood. As an atheist having a spiritual crisis, I found the healing life drive I needed through the almost religious experience of creating music, but I could not have done that alone.

Our time's spiritual realm is deeply disturbed as we cannot ignore the end of the world might be closer than ever, should it be throught climate apocalypse, nuclear war, or just the exhaustion of world’s resources as a result of late capitalism stage self destruction. In Brazil, the religious landscape seems even more troubled, as the neopentecostal lobby and its alliance with zionist propaganda try to convert the despair of our reality into a worryingly organized fascist political field which seeks to seize back every conquest our people have achieved through the years.

That’s why - despite my lack of faith -, I turned to the cultural traditions surrounding me in the search of spiritual peace. The generational knowledge gathered in the religious practices of african origins such as Umbanda and Candomblé are historically associated to the resistance to colonization in this territory. They can offer so much better soothing to the mental turmoil provoked by the Brazilian political hell than any christian bullshit fabricated to alienate us even further.

I don’t expect to find any answers for the mysteries of our existence anymore because I can now appreciate how our humanity is shaped by not knowing what makes our experience so unique, as we are eager to touch the unknown. This album is a tribute to that. To understand life is to accept death, so while this world is still here and we’re still a part of it, let us keep fighting to preserve what is so precious to us. We can still find the strength we need when we look into our surroundings and accept our place in them. Enchanted by the immensity of the ocean and the way it reflects outer space, I see the stardust buried in the sand and I understand that our bodies are made of fallen stars. When we die, they’ll decay and we’ll be part of nature again.

Everything flows into the sea.
