New digital album

Hello, friends!

After the release of Hinário (Hymnal), many interesting things happened. And they were preponderant for the creative explosion that took account of the HI-BRAZIL boys in the new digital album which is being prepared in their studio. Wait! Soon we will post more details about the new digital work. Meanwhile, how about remembering some of the previous work of the group?

The beginning can be the end... it's all a matter of points

Greetings

Hello, friends! What was one, then two and after that, three, became two again. And in its dual expression of Nature! Two lives in cohesion, souls going to the core. "Down the staircase, I found gravity's warmth", says Maurício Businari, from HI-BRAZIL. "It is the kind of thing you discover when you start to dig deep the dry sands of a desert. You can find a skull, a scorpion or even a beautiful and rare flower. If you find the second, you have protein. The third one, connection with Nature and, the first one, a good snare".

Maurício says that this kind of experience is like "those moments when you are in the middle of a fucking nightmare and feels that you are alone, even surrounded by thousands of people, no one will see you or help you, because they can't listen to what you are saying. You just try to shake your arms and hands, scream at them, but their ears just can't receive the frequencies...That's why - maybe - the third vertice of the triangle supposed for an instance to be itself the point in the middle. So this geometric figure has been changed and first of all it assumed a form of a line between two points, but now it is proved to be a circle".

HI-BRAZIL is now going to re-set their clocks to the moon and is receiving showers of inspirational sonorous and pictorial artistic references. The Brazilian duo is now working on the second book of the saga The Song of the Spheres. "While most of turtles insist to keep their swollen bodies into their shells, a bunch of butterflies fly straight to the light of the sun...In their aerial march, they touch with gentleness the ionosphere around the cities. 

What an harp have in common with the arid scenario of a desert? Thales, our young and courageous hero, is going to discover it. And you will, too, soon. "That's why we are working too in a videoclip for the second soundtrack album, that will be released later this year, altogether with the book", Explains André Luiz Salibi, beginning his speech and conducting this post to its end. "All stories are sectioned by acts, by moments. We released Epílogo first. So we will be - in the next days - ready to release another important part of it".

"In the next days", says André...So, keep tuned! This will be around you soon!

Putz! for you all

Hello, guys! Putz!, a new tune from Let's do the Samba! digital album, can be downloaded for free at internet archive. People from Hi-Brazil says it's about the claustrophobic sensation of being surrounded by fear, what produces an ecstatic reaction. Then, when the pressure reaches it maximus, the inner locomotive burns all the interior trash fear brings to suffocate the soul and the steam is released. And you feel like you had comeback from an abduction experience or something, commanded by some big force, a powerful strenght. And suddenly discover, with joy and relief, that you have been sleeping all the past time. And understand that from this moment on, you will be a human being, and not a hungry laboratory rat or a little frightened lamb stuck in a corral.

Let's do the Samba is a musical gem?

Indieoma's friends

Ueeeeba! HI-BRAZIL pixels and bits are traveling the world...We have a new featured channel at Indieoma, a very cool cyber community for independent artists. We'd like to thank Bill Via for the kindness...There you can pick a treasure, a NEW TUNE for the album Let's do the Samba!

Let's do the Samba!

This is the cover from the single Let's do the Samba, debut album from Hi-Brazil. About the art, Mauricio Businari Says: "Living in a warm and hot brazilian island, with a strong sun over our heads, lead us to pour over the emotion of this contact, putting a watermelon pending on the neck or bananas over the head...".

The title-song is composed of elemental samples, loops and effects, waves of sounds collected by internet - like the birds that suddenly appears in the melody, composing an whistling ambient and creating a rhythm scene to the simple and repeating lyric composed and singed with some kind of strange jeer by Businari.

"I Composed this song in 2004, to be included as part of the DOT Project, which me and my partner, André Luiz Salibi, were working on. We collected sounds from Internet, via Google, and mixed up them at our portable studio (an Imac G3, 600 MHz, 1 GB SDRAM), using Garageband and Cubase as creating tools. With the cool tool, we could capture audio from most various sources, as universities, organizations and government project sites, and collect - in about six months - hundreds of WAVs and MP3s from most various sounds that run in waves around the Globe, starting with variations from whale's vocalic songs, till clicks and blips captured by scientists from the sound produced in the core of the Earth. About 14 songs were composed, but an error while making file's backup has deleted for ever the memories of this experience and made the same to the possibility of play some of more complexes of them again. But many funny stuff are prevailed to the pixels disappearing and this is one of them.

To listen and download the track now, you can click at the banner at the right, for just US$ 0,09, or just go visit the duo's isound site.

Brazilian Nature II

This picture was taken in a saturday afternoon, in a walk trip to Itaquitanduva, an almost desert (from humans) beach in Praia Grande, at Southern Coast of Brazil. It is really known by the surf and reggae people and this flower from Mata Atlântica grown at the way, sparking a delicate but profound aroma and making a living corridor connecting the reality from city with the wild scream of nature beauty.

Brazilian Nature

Andre Luiz Salibi is a visual artist. He is a nature son in heart and like to do photographs, digital arts, write pamphlets and books, imagine things and sleep with his kitty Luna under the blanket of his office at a winter's cold sunday.
