Revisited "Spoken South" to cut a bunch of words out. Too many words. So, check out the music page for the track. Soon I plan to make these songs downloadable here so that you can have them. Keep an eye ...

Sun, Aug 17Bio

I play drumset, percussion, and sing. I also play some guitar, keys, and melodica. My interest in music was sparked by the possibility of a train passing in close proximity to a solo drummer ... that kind of movement. Later I realized that the movement was overwhelming sound. Movement is overwhelming sound is movement. I love sound. Sound sparks imagination, emotion, insight, and a whole spectrum of actions/reactions. This is a lot of my attraction to recording music as well - this possibility to play in and shape sound worlds, to get acquainted with this spectrum more clearly. As a drummer I perform regularly with two bands - Os Magrelos and Beleza Brasil. Soon my solo project, rhythm Mantis, will perform too, at least once.
