My hommage to this avenue in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil, a limit between the city and the ocean. I used the classic "batucada" sample from The Goodmen's "Give it up". The picture was taken by Pedro Santos.

Atlântica

Fifth song I made for my independent album. The whole thing was inspired by different places I had the fortune to visit; this track is about travelling, the thing that joins them all together.

Departure

"I'm actually unpleasantly sentimental, unpleasantly sensitive. I try to exercise a certain shyness. When I write in a symbollic fashion, not opening myself up, people thinks that my algebra follows from a kind of coldness, but it's not like that. On the contrary, that algebra is a form of shyness. That is the goal of art, to transform what happens to us on a daily basis into symbols, into music, into something able to last within the minds of men. That's our duty and we ought to fulfill it." (Jorge Luis Borges)

No frontiers

A song I wrote for one of my most beloved places in all Europe.

Montmartre

Suitable for driving. My acknowledgement here goes to the influence of Vincent Kwok's "Las llaves". There's a bit of "Sensitivity" by Ralph Tresvant here too. The picture was taken by Sabine Sauermaul.

Neon glimpse

This track started out with "Rooks & Knights" as its working title. Then after a while I thought it sounded more like heavy weather, added a thunderstorm effect and began thinking of a new name for the song. Eventually, I remembered a passage of a letter Vincent Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo: "Mais lui de régarder dans dehors le ciel gonflé, chargé d'orage, et de sentir la révolte contre la fatalité en dedans de soi". The picture is Van Gogh's "Wheatfield under clouded sky".
