This compilation aims to cover the early period of my recording career. For the second volume, the latest
tracks are of the year 2011, not 2013 like the previous one. Of course, due to personal circumstances, there
were some lapses in time. In 2005, I was still studying at the Languages’ undergraduation course, almost
finishing it; only in 2007, I’d return recording, this time in HF Studio, for a planned EP, which would never
happened to be done. From 2008 and on, I entered in my real period of sporadic home recordings in my
computer, in which I’ve released several albums, which were kickstarted in 2010, with the release of my first
album, «Às Vezes Sempre».
The songs represented here were written while I was studying the Languages’ course from 2002 to 2007 at
Federal University of Bahia, with the exception of the last two tracks (which were written in 2009). They
represent my very first period as a composer, and I still play most of them. However, I was unexperienced
with recording; my very first recordings were lost, date back to mid-1990s, on cassettes, and they were my first
instrumental improvisations and sketch of songs. And this lack of experience affected, mostly, the way I
recorded the vocals and choice of microphones. Now, with this compilation, better experienced nowadays, I
tried my best here to correct the original mixings and make new masterings to these works, which represent
my earliest efforts as a musician in my history. I hope I can bring an insight for future researches here.
