The 10 songs of the album 'Ciclo Curvo' ('curved cycle')

These are the comments posted in Bandcamp along with the songs - to start selling on 12th May.


1. Sinceramente 

means 'sincerely'. It's about a hare, it's alert, doesn't know what will happen, but feels something will... and the hunter is on he's way.


2. Jano 

is an ancient Roman God, two-faced, one face looking at the past, the other looking at the future, he is in peace because they never meet


3. Tudo Tem Seu Tempo

a free translation of the well-known King Solomon's poem in the Bible (Ecclesiastes), that goes: "A time for everything..." - mixed with some words by Michael Noise on the theme "its only in my imagination"


4. Terra

means "Earth" - and its about the reverence we owe it - great ping-pong solos of guitar and sax


5. Há Luz no Cemitério

'there's light in the cemetery' aludes to hundreds of thousands of dark villages in the mountains by the lakes, with small blinking lights from their windows, and surprisingly welcoming ghosts


6. Ciclo Curvo

this song is a collaboration with rapper Rapha Marcelino (my rhythm, his poetry) on the theme of the album, the curved cycle of days and nights


7. Compasso diário

it's about the daily routine (daily beat), and the way everything is happening when nothing seems to be happening


8. Flor

'flower' is a poem written by João Eduardo the last time he was with his mother alive and well, a meaningful and heartfelt tribute to all mothers


9. La Libertà

a multi-language (English, Italian and French) hymn to freedom, with a special sax solo in the instrumental bridge


10. Ver o Mar

this is a bonus song for the ones who buy the album, it is actually a cover song with a samba rhythm from Brazil, by João Erbetta
