Brazilian producer Fernando TRZ fuses Electronica, Afrobeats, Jazz, Soul, Dub and Brazilian rhythms in his new album “Matrizes” - Fourth album by pianist, composer and music producer Fernando TRZ hits all platforms on September 6th, 2024. 

‘Matrizes’ is the name of Fernando TRZ's fourth album, which hits digital platforms on September 6th on Brasil Discos. Acclaimed composer, keyboardist and music producer celebrates the first decade of his solo career very well accompanied by a team of heavy hitters: Thiago Duar, Pipo Pegoraro, Beto Gibbs, Éder Araújo and Renato Cortez.

“They are excellent musicians and music producers who I consider to be brothers, and who work on various fronts in the Brazilian music scene, accompanying great Brazilian artists such as Mental Abstrato, Otto, Liniker, (Grammy Award winner)  Xênia França, Marina Peralta, among others,” says TRZ.

In ‘Matrizes’, TRZ dives even deeper into his research of Afro-Brazilian music, greatly influenced by the thinking and pedagogical method of Bahian maestro and arranger Letieres Leite (In Memoriam), with whom TRZ had a friendship, after remixing the track “Taboão” by the Rumpilezz Orchestra in 2012, and also when he accompanied the artist Lucas Santana, in a show in which Letieres also took part, “O Deus que Devasta mas Também Cura”, in 2013.

“The great power of African music is the ancestrality of its rhythmic organizations. It lives on in all forms, it's in Blues, Rock, Pop and all music that is created in the world.”

The above statement by maestro Letieres Leite, taken from an interview on the El Cabong blog, expresses the concept that inspired TRZ, making him to dive  into the new project. Starting from Afro-Brazilian rhythmic claves, TRZ develops the beats and rhythm patterns and from there creates the harmonic and melodic layers to develop the five compositions (the 5 ‘Matrizes’). For each theme TRZ applies a specific aesthetic line such as Afrobeat, Electronica, Jazz, Soul, Dub, and Rock, giving a unity and conceptual organization to all these sounds and influences from the Black Atlantic.

All music was composed and produced by Fernando TRZ,  with the exception of “Matriz 03 - Eu Vim”, written in partnership with artist Jairo Pereira, who adds vocals in spoken word, bringing a poetic universe to the song that ties the concept of the album together. The project was mixed and mastered by Renato Cortez (Estúdio Mato Records in Minas Gerais).

The album also features three remixes by renowned brazilian DJs, Chico Correa from Paraíba, Telefunksoul from Bahia and OvelhaNegra from São Paulo, who bring their vision to the new work making  the album even more in tune with the powerful Brazilian and Global electronic music scene. These remixes will complete the album and will be released at the end of 2024. TRZ is also a graphic designer, applying his vision to ‘Matrizes’ and developing a visual universe through ancestral icons from cave and tribal paintings of African and indigenous origin proposing a process of recombination and digital patchwork work.

Patricktor4 It is one of the main Brazilian DJs and producers today, born in Bahia spent much of his life traveling the north and northeast of Brazil where he saw, heard and absorbed all the influences of popular music produced and consumed in these places.

As a DJ and Radiomaker Patricktor4 deconstructed the ethnical plurality forming the musicality of Brazil, seeking their equivalent sound in the world, those who use the same elements to form other trends, from the northeastern Baião to Balkan beats of Eastern Europe, from African Kuduro to Carioca's baile funk, from Latin Pará's Tecnobrega to Cumbia Digital, from the guitarrada amazônica to Caribbean Zouk, from Bahia's Afoxé to Nigerian Afrobeat, the result of these combinations makes his performance full of whipped Tropicals, fun, highly surprising and dancing.
