TudoPiano

TudoPiano is Fernando Moura´s last instrumental solo CD where all the sounds come from the acoustic piano: melodies, harmonies, rhythms and timbres are generated using traditional piano playing as welll as some unusual ways: tapping inside, playing with mallets, chains, guitar pedals, digital editing, processing and much more. Even then, this is not a free jazz or avant garde record in the traditional sense: melodies survive, rhythms are well defined and musical structure is built in a soundtrack-like aesthetics.All songs are original compositions. Fellow brazilian percussion masters Marcos Suzano and Carlos Negreiros are featured also playing rhythms inside the piano. Ambient sounds recorded at Tokyo streets and also at Copacabana beach. Brazilian music and rhythms beyond the usual boundaries!
