As a DJ, I'll be sharing the "sounds" that catch my ear each day—or perhaps things and people that evoke sound. My hope is that this can be a catalyst for weaving more music into our lives, much like fashion, art, or a fine meal, to enrich our existence just a little.
Being as a DJ, I'm introducing some "Sounds" (or something or persons that I feel the "Sound" from) in here, such as fashion, art, good drink and food, I hope we can put some more music in our lives so as to make it a little bit more satisfying.
Adult Music to Listen to This Autumn: Part 1
Arthur Verocai / Encore (Far Out / Village Again)
In 1972, a quietly released album in Brazil captured the diverse influences of the era's American music—from jazz, funk, and soul to soft rock and acid folk—transforming them into a uniquely contemporary sound.
The album was titled after its artist: "Arthur Verocai."
It would take another thirty years for this rare gem to gain global attention.
Verocai, who began his musical career in the 1960s, had primarily worked behind the scenes, producing, arranging, and composing for Brazilian music luminaries like Ivan Lins, Elis Regina, Jorge Benjor, and Gal Costa. His artistic resurgence, complete with an "Encore," began when the album was reissued by San Francisco's Luv N' Haight in 2003, sparking renewed interest and critical acclaim.
This new album, featuring his lifelong friend Ivan Lins and members of Azymuth, delivers a timeless, creative sound that makes it feel as though the debut album was released just yesterday.
Arthur's enduring guitar work, the cinematic beauty of the string arrangements, and the effortlessly pop vocals create harmonies that evoke a blend of exhilaration and wistful reflection, much like watching a sunset.
This is an album to savor during the deepening days of autumn.
In 1972 some extraordinary and contemporary music that combines the influences from American music, Jazz, Funk, Soul, Soft Rock, Acid Folk,was released in Brazil, it was titled after the artist name"Arthur Verocai".
It took 30years from then for all the world to notice this music. IN 1960 he started his music carreer producing/song writing to big names such as Ivan Lins,Elis Regina,Jorge Benjor,Gal Costa. His work behind the scenes came into light when Luv N' Haight reissued his album in 2003.
Like the title says with an『Encore』he made his come back. The new album made with his friends Ivan Lins and Azymuth crew sounds very creative that makes it feel that his debut album will never sound old.
Guitar by Artuhur, arrangement of strings are beautiful as a sound track.
Vocals are pop, creating harmony, it can make you feel exciting, yet a bit sentimental such like you just saw a beautiful sunset.
