Tiny Universe

Organizing the house

I sampled each note of a small marimba, using the natural reverb of the living room at my ranch. Then I set up a multisample instrument in Ableton Live, to compose this little song. Aside from the drums, all the instruments of the song come from this marimba, including the organ like sound, where I looped small portions of the waveforms.

My homage to one of the greatest comedies of all times: Nacho Libre. Congrats to Jared Hess for directing this masterpiece.

Those Eggs Were a Lie

The City of Samba is a two part soundtrack composed by Jarbas Agnelli to the video of the same name. The piece, directed by Keith Loutit and Jarbas Agnelli, uses tilt shift time-lapse technique to show the carnival party in Rio de Janeiro. Part I is a slow minimalistic tune, as a background to the poetic landscape of Rio. Part II is a fast, free interpretation of carnival samba, performed mostly with orchestral strings.

Music made over a photograph of birds on electric wires.
Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn't the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.
I sent the music to the photographer, Paulo Pinto, who I Googled on the internet. He told his editor, who told a reporter and the story ended up as an interview in the very same newspaper.
Here I've posted a short video made with the photo, the music and the score (composed by the birds).
