“SOBRE O QUE MOVE AS COISAS” (“ABOUT WHAT MOVES THINGS”)
album release concert

One lapse. One void. One breath. A pencil that finds what to write between one rain and another. That speaks of those who left, of what never arrived, of a joyful girl, of hopefulness, of breaths, of the end, and a new beginning.

No. Emptiness is not as bad as it used to be. It moved things. It threw what was inside out. And so, "About what moves things" was born. (“Sobre o que move as coisas”) An album is coming from the subtle movement in the tender feeling space.

Some of these pieces were composed during my period of isolation in Austria, between March and April 2020 ("Over Weird times suite"). Others, the fruit of the early departure of someone dear and the late discovery of how much she taught me ("Terezinha"). Others are inspired by musicians and composers that I admire and speak to my soul ("Choro pra Tati" and "Alegre menina"). Others about the feeling of the end of a cycle ("Almost the end").
Finally, about the incessant search for what moves things, that fills the soul: "About what moves things". (“Sobre o que move as coisas”)
