I'm probably in the middle of a bad wave in real life. I guess it's called a slump. I hope everyone is doing well, though I know we all go through hard times and bad times periodically. Thanks for reading. Also, I'm glad you're interested in my music.

Lately, the 8-string guitar has become an integral part of my songs. I don't know how long I can keep this style going, but I try to do interesting things in my songs whenever possible. Strumming the bass strings in the clean tones is one example, but I don't actually use the bass guitar in that part. In other parts I play the bass guitar myself, of course.

I-Inspiration of Noise

Back of a squad car
Chains on my wrists
Feet strapped together 
Hands balled into fists

Hey, what in the world is going on?
Hey, what in the world?

Could have planned better
Scoped out the scene
Should have called a friend
Keep an eye on my six

Hey, what in the world is going on?
Hey, what in the world?

Thought this might satisfy me
Thought it was just enough
Back of my mind I know there's never enough

I'd make a lousy thief
Walk into a trap
Probably knock myself out 
Running into a brick wall

Hey, what in the world is going on?
Hey, what in the world?

Thought this might satisfy me
Thought it was just enough
Back of my mind I know there's never enough

Hey, what in the world is going on?
Hey, what in the world?


I'd Make A Lousy Thief

in Search of freedom, in care to protect. 

One Teardrop to ripple.

«A distant call for a close encounter.
The Salamandra Duo presents us with a true and complete instrumental dialogue: At times questioning, at others imperative, but always peremptory
in the nuances of rhythm and the layers of dialogue it offers us».

«Distant Call is an album created remotely, cooked about 2 years ago by drum recordings by João Svayam (three drum tracks) and the additions of various instruments by Leonel Cardoso (who recycled these three drum tracks to create these themes that we have here today, in addition to other b sides). By that time both were collaborating on a improvisation band called Salamandra, connected to our sister label Partícula Records.
Distant Call is just like a time travel: between pure science fiction and impossible-to-deny facts born from any conspiracy theory.»
𝘕𝘢̄𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶

«As if two salamanders from a larger group decided to create a new flock to explore more individual questions of their existence, this Distant Call was born. It's not the first, and it certainly won't be the last, Salamandra album that I've been asked to listen to and write about... And I always have this feeling of fulfillment and certainty that everything in the Universe is in its correct order: even when it involves some pathology of dissociation. An amazing work of recycling sounds»
