a demo I worked on for little time in 2009. I intended it to be a Hey Ray! song. lost the project files but this render survived. found it while cleaning my HDDs yesterday. it's silly but it's fun, I think.

Jay Vaquer - Longe Aqui (Cairo Braga Remix)

Cairo Braga’s new single ‘Thanatos’ is the first chapter of his first album cycle (prefaced by his previous single ‘Nature Boy’). the song is a personal reflection upon the death drive and how to live with it, or not live at all. it’s backed with a cover of Girls’s ‘Lust For Life’ as an attempt to bring a less fateful perspective to an ill-fated narrative. but does it really succeed in that intention?

this release is part of Netlabel Day 2015, the worldwide independent free music event on July 14th. know more at http://netlabelday.blogspot.com

produced by Cairo Braga. guitar by leitecruz. ‘Thanatos’ written by Cairo Braga. ‘Lust For Life’ written by Christopher Owens.

Thanatos (Single Version Instrumental)

I turned 25 on 30/09/2015 while curing myself from a strong bacterial pharyngitis. the day before I was supposed to show up for my first vocal audition, to become a member of the Coral Livre da Cidade de São Paulo (São Paulo City Free Choir). the pharyngitis kept me from going. it was a bitter and sad birthday. "Sadness is a Blessing" was the song I chose to sing at my audition that never was. all vocals here were recorded in one take, just like an audition. all feelings here are being healed, just like the pharyngitis.

eu completei 25 anos de idade em 30/09/2015 enquanto me curava de uma faringite bacteriana forte. no dia anterior eu teria minha primeira audição vocal, para ingressar no Coral Livre da Cidade de São Paulo. a faringite me impediu de comparecer. foi um aniversário amargo e triste. "Sadness is a Blessing" foi a canção que eu escolhi para cantar na minha audição que não aconteceu. todos os vocais aqui foram gravados numa só tentativa, como numa audição. todos os sentimentos aqui estão sendo curados, como a faringite.

"É Preciso Saber Viver" (Cliente: The Aubergine Panda)

"I've been listening to this song for a long time, thanks to a compilation my mom owns in CD, and it has always fascinated me for expressing so well feelings of isolation, longing and bewilderment, although with some kind of hope. Whenever I find myself surrounded by those feelings, it always comes to my mind. This time it came to my voice, by choice and by necessity." Cairo Braga, musician

"The city is an entanglement of grayscale. The colourful boy is no more than a dimmed shadow blending to the bleakness of the concrete and of the hearts he finds. Solitude is palpable, even though there are signs of life amidst the neon light billboards. Where could be all those who promised love, hope, company? Nobody told him how hard it was to grow living in a brotherhood that exists in name only." Marco Magoga, illustrator

Brother, Where Are You? (Instrumental)
