Sala 237 - 2024
Composed by me in partnership with Gustavo Lopes. Gustavo was my drum student at UFG and one day he came to me with a harmony recorded in looping on the piano. Based on this piano recording, we finished composing in and for Sala 237, the drum room at EMAC/UFG, where we met and became friends and partners. Gustavo plays the piano and drums, while I play the other instruments (synths and vocals). The cover photo is by Elinaldo Meira.
