Cries of Dolor

Bio

I experimented with making music on the computer after a keyboard had been my only experience. I wrote my first lyrics shortly afterward and recorded my vocals for them, eventually exposing my music on the internet with significant improvement over the years. I’ve created 250+ original songs in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Latin, and one in gibberish. Making music has become my work of art by combining my four passions: writing, art, languages, and music. I also write fiction and design all my artwork.

Murcipiro was the original Cries of Dolor. For Murcipiro, click here.

About: This is a bilingual album with the first half in English and the second half in Spanish, as well as a line in French. It’s full of dance and downtempo tracks of dark and creepy tones with a romantic twist, because romance isn’t always as sweetly vanilla as we tend to latch onto.

About: I experienced horror for the first time as an elementary school child, as well as peeked at music artists/bands like Alice Cooper and The Cure, and I then wondered why I was intrigued and enamored by dark-natured things. Sheltered by a religious family, I’ve tried to put it past me but failed every time. It wasn’t until much later in life when I embraced it in gradual paces. The concept of this album started around 2008, give or take a year. I wanted to create a horror theme mixed with the romance I knew and appreciated. Unlike my debut, Darkromance, Darklife focuses more on the life aspect. Vampires and blood are just metaphors for the theme, but the album is a lot more personal in a way that can be challenging for me to explain properly. It’s part of my artwork in music form, and the cover art and 16-page digital booklet capture the visual form. There is Spanish sprinkled in bits here and there, along with a full track in French and German pieces in others, all part of the language form of my artwork. Finally, my words and what I have to say, which make up the meat of the album. [NOTE: Artwork and digital booklet with lyrics included.]
