Trem Caipira - translates from portuguese as 'Rustic/Country train. The composition was originally composed by the great Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos. 
INCANDESCENDO with Emily Burridge on 'cello and Felix Gibbons playing percussion have created a new magical train journey through the landscape.  The 'cello celebrates the original them by Villa - Lobos with Emily  having composed and multi tracked harmonies  and Felix playing  percussion comprised mainly of Brazilian percussive instruments creates the sound of a train. This arrangement features percussive instruments as diverse as the metallic sound of the Reko Reko and at the root of the composition the great Surdo drum holds a constant beat.

Trem Caipira Incandescendo arr sample2015

Voyage ~ a journey ~ the triangle at the beginning a sound associated with the traditional music of north eastern Brazil but also the sound of wires rattling on masts in a dock. Setting sale - voyages across the sea - written at a time synonymous with the perilous journeys made by refugees at sea.

Mixing a track like this for Incandescendo is very much part of the composition process and the technique of volume curves in automation makes it possible to weave complex rhythmic patterns and cello melodies.
This track is part of  the Incandescendo live set and in the studio the track has developed with more layers of percussion, cello harmonies and the addition of the piano playing a simple bass line.

Meditations and Compositions 

Emily with her 'cello and Felix Gibbons with his array of percussion instruments create a unique and dynamic sound very much inspired by their love of the English countryside and mutual association with Brazil.. As British musicians who have worked extensively in many genres and travelled far and wide with their music, they maintain their roots whilst bringing to all of their work a kaleidoscope of musical influences breaking new ground between Classical, World and Jazz idioms. 

In concert through utilising modern sampling technology they recreate their recordings and expand their compositions and create exciting multi tracked pieces, spinning a web of intricate harmonies and rhythms, highlighted by some dazzling displays of improvisation. 

Their concert program includes their arrangements of Brazilian classical and popular music and an array of completely new works for ‘cello and percussion.

In producing a track mixing is very much part of the process. The automation technology and volume curves enable both Felix and Emily to weave complex rhythmic and harmonic pieces.
2015 has seen new developments in their writing partnership with pieces for piano and electric bass surfacing.
Cinematic resonances is a showcase set with samples of these new works. 
Incandescendo recording production - Emily Burridge 

Felix is an internationally acclaimed percussionist specialising in the multiplicity of instruments that characterise the distinct rhythms of Brazil and Latin-America. These dance around and enhance the melodic sounds of Emily, the classically trained virtuoso 'cellist, who with her passion for Brazil  is energised by the rhythms and  finds them a limitless source of inspiration for composing and improvising melodies. 

Worlds are integrated and superimposed as they combine their many influences and create beautiful and exotic soundscapes.

Review
Brazilian Post London 06/11/2012
"Thursday evening I was transported on an imaginary train journey through a warm, dazzling, sunlit green, lush and 
remarkable country, thousands of miles away, by the sublime sounds of Emily Burridge, cellist, composer, performer 
and producer, with percussionist Felix Gibbons at the Bolivar Hall in London’s Fitzrovia, as part of the Festival of the 
Arts for Brazil and Ecuador".

Emily and Felix have worked alongside a host of musical luminaries including George Michael, Roger Daltry, Jools Holland, The Specials, Olodum, Peter Gabriel, Gilberto Gil, Milton Nascimento, and many more.....
