The opening track "Maverick" it's a orchestral/prog-metal tune that it's divided in two parts. The first one it's more metal and direct.

The sixth track from "Maverick" it's "Twilight". A track that Ricky wrote many years ago.
According to ricky, he always tried to improve his guitar technique in front of his house watching the sunset.
That was the inspiration for the track.

The last song on the album is "Shadows Will Fade Someday". A complete song from the orchestra with many changes of tones.
To complete the album, Ricky wanted to have a song that would challenge him technically and theoretically, in terms of composition.
Then, after days and days of composing, he finally achieved a harmony that fulfilled the requirements he intended for this song.

WHY CHINA MUSIC MARKET? 为什么选择中国音乐市场？

When we talk about China, we are talking more than 977 million music users, as 72% of the population, they listen to music every week. The average Chinese consumer enjoys 16 hours of music per week, with 66% of listeners using a streaming service.

2. The Untapped Market
Even China has a huge number of music users, it is beyond the touch of all the western streaming services, like, Spotify, SoundCloud and Deezer. Chinese music market has its own players, as QQ Music, Baidu Music and NetEase Music, with local services, you can embrace local audience.

3. Various Appetites for Music
Music appetites in China varies nowadays. It is not the time that only pop music or big stars lead. Music become more vertical and focus, every music type has its own audience, therefore, more and more independent musicians with different music styles can become major in China. Statistics from streaming service NetEase (Music 163) shows that 3 out of the top 5 digital sales artists are independent musicians in 2016. (Source: Music Business China)

4. Copyright Matters
Once when we talk about music market in China, we first thought about piracy. While things have been changed by the end of 2015, along with the copyright restriction order from the Chinese government. After that, exclusive partnerships between the country’s biggest internet groups and major international record labels surged the copyright competitions in the market, as well as the value of copyright.

Paid online music is expected to rise to RMB 8.35 billion ($1.2 billion) by 2020 with growth rate 30.3%, according to iResearch from China. (Source: http://report.iresearch.cn/report_pdf.aspx?id=3144)

5. Music + Social, make your music heard easily
The strong social character of Chinese streaming services makes it is really easy for users to access new music and independent music. Streaming services like QQ Music and NetEase Music can be seen as “music social media”, which build communities around a group of music lovers to chat and share their appetites to music.

On Chinese music streaming services, user-generated playlists and comments play main part of the services, for example, on NetEase Music, all the playlists can reach 80% play-rate, and almost every user has grown the habit to comment and read the comments while listening to music, most of the comments and tracks will also then be shared to other social media platforms (e.g., Weibo and Wechat). (Source: http://report.iresearch.cn/report_pdf.aspx?id=3144 http://www.sohu.com/a/204539092_403354 )

6. Young User Group
Among Chinese online music users, 70.2% of them are under 30 years old, and on Tencent QQ Music, according to Tencent Music Entertainment Group VP Andy Ng, the percentage even reached 80%. The young generation is the main user group of Chinese music market.

Besides, in China, people in the age from 15 to 30 are educated to appreciate the content, thus, they know music has a value, and they respected that, so they are willing to pay for the music services. According to a report from iResearch China, over 70% of under-30-years-old music users in China have purchased at least once premium accounts on streaming services, and over 65% of them have purchased at least one digital album online.

The release is now available in the digital album will be launched on every worldwide webstores, iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Deezer, Google Play, Tidal, Shazam...

"Origins" is an album that Ricky want to put his feelings into it. It's not a crazy guitar solo album with million note for second, but an album that mix of heavy side at the begin and moving to a lighter side of his guitar playing. It's an album that you can hear without effort cause isn't just crazy instrumental stuffs, but has nice melodies here and there who tries to give you some moments of thinking about whats going on, but also gives you moments of just relaxation and peace.

Song by song:

01 - Stand Your Ground
The concept behind Stand Your Ground is mantain your position, focus and belief. No matter the adversity life brings to you.

02 - Three Days
When I wrote ''Three Days'' I was playing a video game called ''The Legend of Zelda - Majora's Mask'' where the hero ''Link'' has only Three Days to save the world from a catastrophic Moon Fall.

03 - Black Materia
This a song that I wrote many years ago when I used to play with some friends in a little church in my hometown in Sorocaba, Brazil. We wanted to have a dark and heavy instrumental song. So I came home after our rehearsal and created this song after many hours looking for nice tappings and harmony parts. When I finished the process was late night.

04 - Origins
''Origins'' is song that I wrote last year. I was looking for some instrumental smooth rock type of song. In this tune we had the privilege of have an amazing Brazilian guitar player called Alex Martinho perfoming a very beautiful guitar part. Thanks Alex. You Rock man !

05 - Believe
Everybody I think had a moment in life when everything is not the best or had some troubles and the confidence goes down. I had this kind of problems too. And this song is about don't give up. Cause the life is greater than our problems. So we must carry on.

06 - Digital Fusion
''Digital Fusion'' is a song that I recorded just very quickly. I grab the guitar and play the most crazy solo I can improvise over this harmony. After I had recorded the solo and listened I just have no doubt that there's is a fusion cool kind of sound that I want to have in the album.

07 - Blue Sky
When I started to write ''Blue Sky'' was a beautiful lovely day in my city. Nice weather, a cool autumn breeze. And the sky was incredibly blue. So I took this nice harmony that I already have and started to record. Very cool day !

08 - Toupeira's Paradise
When I was a kid. I had this fun nickname which is ''Toupeira''. What means MOLE in english. I always liked this nickname cause sounds funny ! So when I'm playing my guitar is like i have been in a paradise. The ''Toupeira's Paradise''

09 - Whispering
Imagine that you are playing your guitar or whatever instrument you like in front of a beautiful and calm river surrounded by little birds and a warm wind. That's the inspiration for this song.
