So 'sup?
First of all my name is Aïrto. I was born on the 13th of October '85... I loved music ever since I was little, I grew up with music of all styles. I re-discovered music when I was about 16 years-old. Going way back in time, listening to music that kids nowadays wouldnt usually think of listening too... Think about the buttery voice of Donny Hathaway and the undeniable singing and composing talents of Mr. Wonder. I realised while listening to some of the memorable songs that I started improvising to the beats and melodies, change it up, sing harmonies and sometimes play some extra's on my cheap old keyboard... This helped me create my own style.
I'm floating in between soul and rnb. I love the true sound of music. No overpolished studio voices, I want too hear the rawness. Nowadays it's all about pitch correcting and about the image an artist has... I never had any musical training so I lukcily i still feel raw and unpolished.
There are two projects I have been working on in the past...
I'm featured on a cd called 'Bezigheidstherapie' - P-Yott
I also worked on a project with Belgium hiphop duo Nuff Said, I helped them on the musical/beat aspect...Make sure to check out their myspace to enjoy some good Hiphop.
Love not me for comely grace, For my pleasing eye or face; Nor for any outward part, No, nor for my constant heart: For those may fail or turn to ill, So thou and I shall sever. Keep therefore a true woman's eye, And love me still, but know not why; So hast thou the same reason still To doat upon me ever.
Two separate divided silences, Which, brought together, would find loving voice; Two glances which together would rejoice
In love, now lost like stars beyond dark trees; Two hands apart whose touch alone gives ease;
Two bosoms which, heart-shrined with mutual flame, Would, meeting in one clasp, be made the same; Two souls, the shores wave-mocked of sundering seas:--
Such are we now. Ah! may our hope forecast Indeed one hour again, when on this stream Of darkened love once more the light shall gleam? An hour how slow to come, how quickly past, Which blooms and fades, and only leaves at last, Faint as shed flowers, the attenuated dream.
I thought of you and how you love this beauty, And walking up the long beach all alone I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder As you and I once heard their monotone. Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me The cold and sparkling silver of the sea, We two will pass through death and ages lengthen Before you hear that sound again with me.
"It is not good for all our wishes to be filled; through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest"
