I was born and lived my whole life in São Paulo, a metropolis of 22 million people. In addition to being a musician, I am a writer and an architect and I always thought of music together with an image and a story. Film's fault. That's the main reason why I wrote this album that I'm releasing now in 2021, "Tracks For Nowhere", 75% instrumental and 100% imagery. While I was composing it from 2016 onwards, I was writing a novel "Non White Non Man" and my songs were very influenced by the story I told, a 4 volume urban saga with many characters and situations. Therefore, from my own experience, anyone who wants to listen to the album while reading the book will not be on the wrong track. Music style? It's your choice. Strings and melancholy or contemplative themes are there, as well as jazz and big band and bossa nova, I'm simply unable to stick to a musical style. Like everyone who comes from jazz piano like me, complicated chords and dissonance bring me joy. But what's the problem with ballads with straight and simple harmonies? The fact is, homogeneity is not for me, nor do I remember when it was the last time I listened to a uniform and normal album to the end. Besides cinema, I suppose the other main culprit for my eclecticism is my city, São Paulo. A third-world metropolis, a crossroads between Africa and New York or Paris, is both fascinating and often horrible. But it's my city and I love it that way, what can I do?
