MMIB is a deeply personal EP, developed as my final university project while studying Music Production at BIMM Berlin. The core concept was to create four trance tracks, incorporating AI as a creative tool to generate samples that shaped the sound.

The EP opens with ‘Hightened Ingame,’ a powerfully intense track that reflects my initial adaptation to life in Germany following my move. This track encapsulates the chaotic and overwhelming emotions experienced during that period of adjustment.

‘I Need To Know’ follows, a raw and introspective piece exploring relationships and the experiences I encountered in Germany—relationships I cherish but that ultimately caused me harm, prompting a necessary shift in my direction.

‘Learning Trance’ represents my immersion into my passion for music and the core reason for my time in Germany: to learn and grow as a musician. It’s a reflection of the four years of study and the significant progress I’ve made.

Finally, ‘Mudança’ – ‘Change’ – acts as a culmination of this entire journey, subtly hinting at possibilities and adventures yet to come. This EP is a testament to my creative evolution and the profound impact of my time studying in Berlin.
