about

A free interpretation of excerpts from a graphic score by Paulo Chagas (fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-a…907_n.jpg)... for acoustic guitar with pedals. And with the special intrusion of my dear family: my father Jorge, my mother Margarida, my sister Jamile, plus (silently) my nephew Matheus and the female dog Cristal.

Recorded in December, 2012

lyrics

English explanation of the happenings:

:57 - my father walks in the living room, where the computer is. And I am playing there in this room, indifferently. Some other steps are heard subsequently.
1:52 - my father groans complaining something about the amplifier.
2:01 - a dog's bark with a slamming of the door. Some other steps and a possible voice of Marcos, my brother-in-law.
2:27 - my sister is heard calling to her boyfriend-fiancé, "Marquinhos... cadê ele? (where is he?)"
2:35 - the most poetic moment; my mother screams to the dog, "Pára Cristal... deixa Matheus dormir" - "Stop Crystal... let Matheus sleep". At the moment, I thought this was a message for me...!
2:45 - My father dialogs with my mother about a gift given to some guy, and she tries to make an explanation.
