Celio Barros: A parenthesis in this chronology, it is important: in 1997 a reform was made here at home, the studio expanded and I've left room to place a piano later. In other words, I had very clear what he wanted. From 1996 to 97, had opened the PMC, because the bureaucratic process began, had already made recording of a live concert orchestra, with chorus, trampos a heavy responsibility that I had to buy the note (tax), and I said, no, nothing like that ... take Adat, table, a lot of stuff has been pretty stressful, but it was nice to know, I want my money it here and use this money to finance my projects and throw my CDs and I was very resolved in this increasingly focused on this track for free improvisation.

In the late '70s, a musical movement won the charts of the planet: the new wave. Besides the direct influence of punk, there was room for different sounds: the british '60s pop, surf music, reggae, rock 'n' roll pioneers of the 50s. A faction in particular dedicated to electronics to create their sound. Thus arose the techno-pop and synth rock.
The starting point for the techno-German electronic music was produced in 70 years by bands like Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk. It was through this musical proposal, known as School of Berlin, Giorgio Moroder that created the myth was Donna Summer's disco music. And the cultural boundary Germanic techno movement (acid house, drum 'n' bass, trip hop, trance, etc..) Sought resources to produce his compositions. More »

A great expectation. How would the 26th edition of Expomusic? The global crisis is still present in the economy, and even though several economic indicators point to an improvement in the situation, a question should be answered: How the financial shock has affected and continues to influence the Brazilian music market?

Fights and more fights. Grief discussions and gain media and the band has split. In the case of Van Halen, in equal parts, two players for each side.
Guitarist Eddie Van Halen and his brother, drummer Alex, carry on his group, which became a family business. Entry bassist Wolfgang, Eddie's son, showed that he is an American right, but his lack of charisma and shyness is evident in the shows. The voice, the return of original member David Lee Roth. More »

To complete the trilogy of keyboards for Dream Theater, here's the review of the new album from OSI (Office of Strategic Influence), Blood, a project of Kevin Moore and guitarist Jim Matheos, the band Fates Warning.
In this third CD, significant changes: the group no longer has a permanent bass player, Matheos was responsible for the instrument. Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) gave his place to Gavin Harrison, the veteran drummer Porcupine Tree who recently took over the sticks of King Crimson with a double-Pat Mastelotto. His presence is striking, after the influence of these two bands scores at various times of the OSI. More »

Create new versions of classic rock is a risky adventure. Jordan Rudess, keyboardist of Dream Theater, tried this proposal on the CD The Road Home, which provides cover-versions of Yes, Gentle Giant, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, among other big names of the progressive movement.
The result of this work was uneven, not responsible for the actions of the keyboard. The lack of harmony and performance of other musicians affected the project.

Keyboardist Derek Sherinian is well known for his role in Dream Theater (1995-1998) and as the founder of Planet X, a band that came with an original proposal, a unique way to create a mix between jazz, hard rock and progressive.
In his solo, the keyboardist started very well with the album Inertia. In later work, with the participation of prominent names, guitarists Yngwie Malmsteen, Al Di Meola, Steve Lukather (Toto), John Petrucci (Dream Theater) and bassist Billy Sheehan, among others. More »
