O Ruínas é nascer, renascer, desconstruir, aceitar, desapegar e construir sonhos. 
E são com essas palavras, que introduzo o lançamento das tracks do live Ruínas, de forma independente, pela ACR Records, colocando as minhas músicas a serviço do outro, mostrando pro mundo minhas primeiras produções, depois de 1 ano do lançamento do projeto.

Ruins is to be born, reborn, deconstruct, accept, let go and build dreams.
With these words in mind, I release the tracks of the Ruínas live, independently, by ACR Records, allowing my tracks to speak freely to a diverse people, and finally, show the world my first productions, one year after the project's launch. I would love to know your impression on these tracks.

This first track is the most faithful of the live ruins, a piece released by Fact Mag, on the Patch Notches program.
I used the Moog Mother 32 and Moog DFAM on basses and on Digitakt with drum and pad samples. In production, I added some percussive elements and made modulation adjustments to the bass.
The mix and master was made by Pablo Gil at La Siesta de Fauno (Buenos Aires) and edited by me and Morf. The creative process, you can check out in the posts below.

Usei o Moog Mother 32 e Moog DFAM  nos baixos e na Digitakt com samples de bateria e pads. Na produção,  acrescentei alguns elementos percussivos e fiz ajustes de modulação no bass.

Chang Rodrigues - Conversation

The second track of the EP was a reconstruction, literally. The live was at 140 bpm, and on this track, I dropped it to 130, according to recommendation. I thought it got more groove. I added several elements of effects, drums, but the bass and the drone of the live modular prevail throughout the track, as well as the minibrute 2s. I tested this track many times on the floor because of the point in time, and it was great!

Acresentei vários elementos de efeitos, baterias, mas o baixo e o drone do modular do live prevalece por toda a track, assim como o minibrute 2s. Testei algumas vezes essa track na pista por conta do bpm, e foi bem massa!

Chang Rodrigues -  Reconstruct

With this track I'm following my intuition, it's experimental. They are sound sensations that may cause eccentricity or not. I made an edit of the 3 electroacoustic pieces and transformed it into 3 minutes or so. Mixed by me and mastered by Morf.

Essa track estou seguindo minha intuição, ela é experimental. São sensações sonoras que podem causar estranhamento ou não. Fiz uma edição das 3 peças eletroacústicas e a transformei em 3 min e pouco. Mix por mim e master Morf.

Real-time performance with compositional electroacoustic procedures
Experimental/Electroacoustic Electronic Music

"Cisne - sound as a life form" consists of a series of four electronic sound-musical pieces performed from November 2017 by the synthesists Amanda Chang and Paulo Motta. The following devices were used: Eurorack Doepfer System, E-mu Proteus FX Synthesizer, Roland Alpha Juno 2, Moog Mother 32, DT 300 Controller, Doepfer Dark Time Sequencer, M-Audio Axion Pro 61 MIDI Keyboard Controller and Allen & Heath MixWizard WZ3 16: 2 Mixer Console.
The term "sonoro-musical" indicates a compositional action related to both the electronic sonorities - to the sound design or to the sound synthesis itself - and to the musical composition, both performed in real time. We avoid as much as possible any kind of aesthetic antecedents, since our intention was to record the performance of our gestures applied to electronic devices, both to synthesizers and to the mixer, the latter destined, above all, to the control of volume levels and spatiality.
We place ourselves as our only commitment to make a temporary suspension of our tastes in relation to the sonorities that would eventually arise during the process of synthesis in real time, or, more accurately, to the relatively constant transformations of timbres, rhythms and textures.
The material recorded subsequently went through audio editions, as well as minor technical adjustments related to the equalization and mixing, but always with the care of not to compromise the performances like executions in real time.
It is interesting to note that the context of the performances demanded of us a "multi-dimensional / perceptual multidimensionality", so to speak, notably due to the fact that sound creation, particularly relative to timbres, called for constant attention to interactions, overlaps and sequentialities.
From our point of view, "Cisne - sound as a life form" resulted in a sonorous work impregnated with timbres, textures and musically visceral and forceful rhythms (rhythmic pulses) which, in turn, created a predominantly dramatic sound atmosphere in aesthetic and expressive terms, in which "the compositional script itself [was, par excellence,] the object of experimentation." After the end of the recordings, a strong feeling came to us that we approached, at least during the creative process involved, to the perceptual experience of sounds as life forms in permanent transformation. Electronic sounds as a life form.

I prepared a special set to Deep Beep with artist that inspire me and that I don't normally play. I have also added some of my own tracks. 
It can be listen in the car, alone or accompanied, meditating, or having drinks with friends philosophizing about life. Among the artists are: Suzanne Ciani, Laura Spiegel, Vangelis, Klauss, Tangerine Dreams, Dead Can Dance, Vakula, Roman Flugel, Low & Fast, Luiz Castelões and myself as the transition of Chang Rodrigues.

Deep Listening _ DEEPBEEP

I started my journey in 2009 as Amanda Chang, and today I embrace my full name and artistic essence as Chang Rodrigues. My sound combines analog textures, modular synthesis, and deep rhythmic layers that move freely between techno, house, and experimentation.
In 2016, I discovered modular synthesis, and it completely reshaped the way I create. My performances treat sound as a living organism, constantly evolving and reacting to space and energy.
I’ve performed live at Inhotim Museum and Novas Frequências Festival, and was featured by FACT Magazine for my project Ruínas. I also create ambient live sets in 5.1 surround, exploring immersive listening experiences, and share my creative process through workshops at ADE and on Echio.
For me, music is connection — between body, machine, and the infinite unknown.
