Ferreira

Carlos Ferreira is an experimental Brazilian guitarist and composer whose work explores the relationship between sound, space, time, and memory. 'Isolationism' utilizes reverb-drenched guitar tones, piano, clarinet, pipe organ, and atmospheric field recordings to study frequency, resonance, and sound vibration. The results harmonize cinematic aplomb with levity, grief with hope, and an unbearable gravity with the lightness of existing in a moment.

Flores de Musica pera o instrumento de tecla & harpa is the only known work of Portugese composer Manuel Rodrigues Coelho. Printed in Lisbon in 1620 and boasting more than five hundred pages, Coelho’s Flores de Musica is one of the largest music works printed in the seventeenth century.

On INTO THE GREEN, clarinetist Wesley Ferreira takes listeners on an aural journey through a world of musical possibilities where digital and analog become one. Works for solo clarinet place it in the midst of sprawling electronic soundscapes, providing ethereal backdrops for its earthy timbre.

The most distinguished pianist of his generation, a brilliant pedagogue and a highly gifted composer, Jose Viana da Mota was a towering personality in the field of Portuguese music. Compositional studies in Berlin were in the German Classical-Romantic tradition but, with an infusion of folk-based material from his homeland, he soon became the leading figure in the emerging Portuguese Nationalist School. This new release, which includes multiple world premiere recordings, comes from Portuguese pianist Joao Costa Ferreira. Ferreira is an AvA Musical Editions artist and has been collaborating with this Portuguese publisher on the publication of Jose Viana da Motas piano works.

Singer, guitarist, composer, arranger and music producer, Sid Ferreira in his fourth album "Kinda Brazilian Jazz" mixes Brazilian musical genres such as samba, samba-rock, marcha-rancho, choro and bossa nova, to various genres of Latin American music such as rumba, salsa, ballad, jazz, cumbia, waltz, bolero, fado, flamenco and chachacha, making clear his diverse influences in authorial songs and partnerships in English and Portuguese.
