Band info:
Tatá e Dudu are also part of different musical projects like JUMBO ELEKTRO and CÉREBRO ELETRÔNICO and Paulo Beto shares his time with ANVILFX, LCD, SILVESTRE & ZORAK and FRAME CIRCUS, alongside with Tatá. The musical proposition is to create a free-area where rhythm meets noise. It is experimental and abstract but also flirting with the pop and dance side. The themes are based in simple and repetitive cells which give form to the bulk of the compositions. The band also works cross-platform having the video as an essential tool when performing live. One of this videos is the short film TYGER (conceived as both short film and a music video) from São Paulo born director Guilherme Marcondes who is conceptually part of the band. Using the first improvised recordings by Ciro and Paulo Beto as the sound track of the film, he was keen to explore the threshold between film and music. The collaboration was clearly getting somewhere new but the enormous feedback in the end was way unexpected. The movie/music-video was widely sought over the net (more than 100 thousand downloads on the first week) enchanting people all over the world (http://guilherme.tv/tyger). Another fruitful collaboration came from animated low-tech idents done by designer Cassiano Prado, working from over-seas, which became the official band mnemonic. This can currently be seen on every band's live performances. Another interesting fact is the use of the super cult synthesiser OPUS 3 from MOOG, the same used by bands like STEREOLAB, BLUE TRAVELLER and MOOG COOOKBOOK. This synthesiser was bought in São Paulo and belonged to the keyboard player of legendary band PATRULHA DO ESPAÇO.
