The
first track on DLAIVISION’s debut album Sign
of Us gave my ears the proceed with caution notice. I found out quite
quickly that was a false alarm. As the timeless saying goes - you cannot judge
a book by its cover, you need to open it and look through the pages!
The change I experienced happened very quickly. I took
pause because I do understand why any artist wants to open the curtain to their
album with some bounce and energy.
“Dreams” kicks things off with quick moving electronica
dance beats. In some cases, depending on
the way it is mixed, and the amount of changes a track like this goes through, I
either find a groove I like or I don’t. I decided I was not interested in hearing
more of that and as I went from track to track, I heard many changes and
strokes of diversity. It was an amazing change of mood and thought patterns for
me. That is exactly how it all started, so wait if you happen to feel the same
way for some reason, you need to keep listening. This recording just keeps
getting better and better. I have learned over the years to keep and open heart
and my mind will follow. It works.
As this album progressed I could appreciate the all-around
talent DLAIVISION has. Dlaivison Ribamares Silva was a musical child prodigy
that appreciated classical, prog, electronica and many different technologies.
Bending and molding technology is not easy. Taking cold, inanimate digital
electronics and making it sing for you is real talent. And an appreciation for
that talent was just kicked up a few notches after hearing this music!
There are many great tracks but the one that just swept me
away and picked me up off my feet was “Amazon.” The artist cleverly
interspersed sounds of the incredible Amazon jungle and made the track a visual
masterpiece of sound. As a matter of fact, his website is quite beautiful and
engaging as well. Check out Amazon here http://www.signofus.com/en/amazon.html.
This is soundtrack music, whether it be film, a visit to
the planetarium exploring the stars above or just an audio cinematic experience
that is uplifting and awe inspiring…you cannot help but walk away reenergized
and a feeling of positive surrounding your aura.
Sign
of Us is an ultra-cool listening experience that offers a visual
one to go along with it. I love the music, the concept, and the beauty and
simple presentation of the website. It all fits together nicely. Someone in
Hollywood needs to discover this man now.
I could not go wrong hearing music that reminded me of
Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk etc. If you gave Beethoven or Bach a synthesizer
this is what it would probably sound like.
The first thing you will want to do after hearing this is
turn someone else on to it and that is exactly what every recording artist
wants to hear.
