Etaveglio by Jory Galdia

"Etaveglio" is a made up name for a character art concept from when I was in high school; though the words "eta" and "veglio" exist in Greek and Italian respectively to form a portmanteau roughly meaning "7th Old". This music was composed from January-March 2024 and is a mixture of different genres, which sort of reflects the meaning when considering the symbolism of rainbows.

Song name meanings:
· “Etaveglio” – portmanteau of the Greek letter “eta” and the Italian “veglio” meaning “old”.
· “Rysardrome” – Portmanteau and alternate spelling of the Old Norse plural form of “risi”, “risar” meaning “giant” and “drome” meaning “airfield”.
· “Loessburgh” – Portmanteau of the yellowish-gray deposits of windblown sediment called “loess” and the Old English “burgh” meaning “fortress/fortified place”. Portmanteau of “loess” as in the fine dirt or dust made up of silt, sand and clay and the Old English “burgh” meaning “fortress”.
· “Prima Ordanna” – combination of the phrase “Prima donna” and the word “ordain”.
· “MMWTD” - “miss me with the drama”
