If you have
patience and want to know why, where and how is the
studio, read below.
I started the
studio in 1986, after disbanding the
Hora do Rush Quartet.
I think about doing a band without musicians, using
machines, and called this project as "Casa D Máquinas"
but there was a group with the same name here in Brazil and the
project was dead before started. But I bought the
software and have some musical ideas. Why not work? Well,
first of all I need a new space. Five years after, in
1991 I have the right space for the project. I setup
things and while playing with unknown groups I was
building Aquilante. 1992 I started recording Angel's
Dream inside a room called Aquilante, like
Brancaleone's horse. It was about two years of
nightmares.
In 1996, with my
first CD at streets, Aquilante was ready for serious
jobs, but I gave up. I'm not interesting in renting the
studio to record others. I need a place to focus on my
music. I love the idea of waking up in the middle of the night and
have everything ready for the flow of inspiration. I'm
inside the control room. I am the control room.
It's not easy to
work alone. Some friends are always near to help, but
most of the work are done alone. All the planning, all
the sounds, all compositions, all wiring, all computer
work and manutenance are made by myself. I have many
pleasures working this way, because I have control over
the work and no one to blame when things went wrong.
After a while, a
early friend join the boat. Ricardo Calafate had his own
studio (Usina) and we started working together. Now
Aquilante and Umuarama (his newly studio) are the same.
We can do a lot more without loosing our personalities.

continue later) |
