EMS: The Brazilian-Italian Artist Behind Ecliptic and the Story Behind "Beyond the Horizon"

A Musical Journey Born from Life's Challenges

EMS is a Brazilian-Italian songwriter and pop artist whose music blends deep, personal storytelling with contemporary and orchestral elements. Born in Limeira, Sao Paulo, Brazil, he is the son of Amelia Baroni and Jose Matos dos Santos. His life, shaped by love, loss, and resilience, has become the foundation of his debut album, "Ecliptic"-a project that transforms personal experiences into music that connects with listeners on a profound level.

From Brazil to Italy and the UK: Finding Healing in Music

From an early age, EMS found comfort in writing poems and songs, using them as a way to express emotions he couldn't put into words. However, his life took a heartbreaking turn after the tragic loss of his girlfriend in a car accident.

Overwhelmed by grief and undergoing intensive therapy, EMS made a life-changing decision-he moved to Milan, Italy, seeking a new environment where he could distance himself from painful memories. Determined to move forward without relying on prescription medication, he turned to music as both an emotional escape and a source of self-discovery.

Milan, close to Ostiglia, the birthplace of his great-grandparents, became a temporary refuge. He found solace in quiet train rides between Milan, Lake Garda, and Ostiglia, moments that allowed him to reflect, heal, and write. It was during one of these deeply introspective moments that "Beyond the Horizon" was born.

After spending time in Italy, EMS eventually moved to London, UK, where he has now lived for fourteen years. Throughout his journey of personal change and reinvention, music has remained his anchor. The lyrics and melodies he carefully wrote in his notebooks over the years have become the heart of "Ecliptic", an album that delves into themes of love, vulnerability, and the complexities of human emotion.

"Beyond the Horizon": A Song of Hope and Self-Discovery

One of the standout tracks on Ecliptic, "Beyond the Horizon" represents EMS's journey of courage, self-reflection, and the pursuit of hope. Unlike some of the album's more melancholic songs, this track captures the moment when darkness begins to lift, offering a sense of optimism and emotional strength.

Musically, the song is rooted in contemporary pop, blending soft ballad elements with a rich, cinematic production. It is written in D# minor, a key that gives the song its introspective feel, while shifts to F# major introduce lightness and emotional release. The moderate tempo of 96 BPM and steady 4/4 time signature create a smooth yet powerful listening experience.

Vocally, "Beyond the Horizon" features a mezzo-soprano singer whose expressive performance transitions seamlessly from delicate, breathy tones to soaring, emotional peaks-mirroring the song's theme of inner strength and transformation.

Instrumentally, the track is a carefully crafted blend of ethereal keyboards, acoustic guitar, modern synthesizers, and subtle but steady percussion. Each instrument is layered to create a textured, immersive atmosphere, guiding the listener through waves of melancholy and hope.

"Beyond the Horizon" is a song about change, resilience, and moving forward, a track that speaks to anyone who has ever faced loss but found the strength to keep going.

International Recognition: ISC 2024 Semi-Finalist

EMS's music has already earned international recognition. Two songs from Ecliptic -"Under Your Gaze" and "Endless Surge"-have advanced to the semi-finals of the prestigious International Songwriting Competition (ISC) 2024. Given that only about 15% of global submissions reach this stage, this is a remarkable milestone in EMS's career.
