Love Kills Slowly Meaning

Day Off

du séjour s'est donc hier terminée. Aujourd'hui c'est Off. Eddy yesterday we took the liberty of inventing a new musical vocabulary word in Portuguese ... Vitor was asked how to say "make casseroles" (the funky guitar riffs of Billie Jean, for example) and there was no word. We therefore chose the word cock - galo - that turned into a verb, galocar , make casseroles. Or fazer Galos. We were happy with us.
Some pictures of the last day Oficina, truly unique.

A primeira da step estadia terminou ontem. Hoje é dia de folga. Ontem uma nova Eddy inventamos com palavra do português ... Perguntamos Vocabulario musical como para Vítor to say 'faire des cocottes' (the funky guitar riffs of "Billie Jean, for example) and there was no word. We have chosen the word cock, and turned it into a verb, galocar, do cocottes. Or do roosters. We were happy.
Some pictures of the last day in the workshop, unique place.

Get Shiny Starter Pokemon

We do the song again





it's been a week. One has the impression that it's been a month. From the songwriting, the arrangements in the morning, work at Oficina de 13h to 21h, sorting records and plays, setting up the blog, select photos, meals and discussions with Revista Do Samba, hours have evaporated. This first sequence of work Oficina (we moved from Vitor Monday at 30 km MS) is very dense and crucial. We seek a way of communicating, a way of working together and, more importantly, to understand our approaches respective music, to find where Aunt Hortense and Revista Do Samba can merge. It is always referred to ourselves, to our way of seeing things, to communicate, to consider the music. This aspect of the work is exciting because it is both to understand who we are, what culture you come from, while welcoming another, another music history. To trust and let happen what happens. So far we have five songs in the works, more or less advanced, and you begin to find a sound, not to mention the enormous pleasure of playing together, to show things, and talk about samba. We start
also understand a little better where we are in this city, connecting neighborhoods to each other. The gibberish debut was a little calmer and we focus on the Portuguese. With Eddy begins to valves in Portuguese, and at times we seem to Marseilles, toast it. The highway that runs through São Paulo, a sort of gigantic device is ubiquitous, the stream of cars is continuous, night and day. Pollution visible to the naked eye. It's so urban you see. In the street, garbage cans tend to accumulate, the mayor of MS has removed thousands of posts in the road departments while salaries of officials of the council have tripled ...
Dernière journée aujourd'hui the Workshop. Demain c'est off.
Ah, c'est l'heure du café ...

's been a week. We have the impression that a month ago. Between writing the songs, the arrangements in the morning, work in the workshop from 13h to 21h, sorting and recording of the hearings, writing the blog, the selection of photos, meals and conversations with the magazines, the hours are evaporated . This first sequence of work in the workshop (Monday we go to Victor's, some 30 km São Paulo) is very dense and crucial. We seek a form of communication, a way of working together and, more importantly, to understand our respective approaches to music to find the point at which Tante Hortense and Revista do Samba can mingle. In these circumstances, you are necessarily placed in front of yourself, your way of seeing things, to communicate them, thinking the music. This aspect of the work is exciting because it has to fully understand who we are, what culture we come from, while welcoming another culture, another history of music. Have confidence and let things happen. Until now we have five songs on the way, more or cruder, and begin to find a sound, not to mention the immense pleasure of playing together, to show up and talk about things samba.

also come to understand better where we are in this city, connecting the neighborhoods between them. The language of the first messy moments is getting a little better and focus on the Portuguese. With Eddy already started making jokes in Portuguese and, at times, we almost feel in Marseille, tranqüiiiiilo. The highway which crosses Sao Paulo, a kind of peripheral giant, omnipresent, the flow of cars is uninterrupted, night and day. Pollution is palpable. It's so urban, you know? On the streets, garbage piles up - the Mayor of Sao Paulo budget cut in services while sweeping tripled the salaries of top city officials ...

Last day in the workshop today. Tomorrow is off.

Oh, it was time for coffee ...

Beto et Vitor - Beto and Vitor

Vraie the Workshop journée aujourd'hui. The arrival of Vitor percussionist and guitarist Beto, Revista Do Samba group, has strengthened the tone. We fell instantly in the game, all excited and curious. We're talking about sound, Brazilian music, it strikes. Finally we talk ... we improvise a mixture of French, Portuguese, English, English, Italian, Finnish or even Jean-Phi (its "stop" to say "stop it" is already a classic).

We started to cross pieces to form a directory. Vitor has an unstoppable groove, a pulse advancing while seeming to drag. Trippy ... Beto, more reserved, but equally sharp. Stephen looks to be in a dream. We all have a smile stuck. Some songs Aunt Hortense seemed to wait for it, and Amazon (Album Better , Les Disques Bien) made its return. Finally, three pieces of TH and a piece of Samba funk Beto facelift in this course today. We had the time to start getting into specifics, particularly on the song The Revolution, which some may have already heard a Charity or Marseille in Paradox. It crackles, this boat, it knits. Leticia and the singer is not there yet ...

Oficina The district would be much more pleasant and lively in the day. It feels good. Yesterday evening, dinner with Matthew, head of the Gaia label Discos, who briefed us a little about the rest of the project and the cultural and night life in Sao Paulo. It's beginning to look like something. We are still in our bubble, not yet aware of the situation here. Vague echoes of the presidential visit and inondations terribles d'il ya deux jours ... Encore faut qu'on arriver to caser journées des heures dans 36 des journées, 24. Allez, une caipirinha et au lit.

full day workshop on today. The arrival of Victor, percussionist, and Bob, the guitarist, the band's two Revista do Samba, did the tone change. We fell instantly in the game, excited and curious. We talk about sound, Brazilian music, things flow. Well, we talked ... improvise a mixture of French, Portuguese, English, English, Italian, Finnish and even to Jean-Phi (the 'stopp' when it means "let's stop 'already become classic).
started to cross to form a songwriting repertoire. Victor has a relentless groove, a pulse which, while advancing, gives the impression of taking your time. The biggest cost. Beto, despite being more secretive, is as sharp as he was. Stéphane seems to be a dream. All have a great smile that never disappears. It seems that some songs Tante Hortense were only waiting for this moment, and Amazonie (album Mieux Les Disques Bien) is returning to his homeland. We ended up with three songs from Tante Hortense and one of Bob's samba funk in which the training had a facelift. We had time to get into the details, particularly in La Revolution songs, some people may have heard a bienfaisance, or Paradox, in Marseille. This all crackles, scale, intertwines. And the singer, Leticia, has not arrived yet ...
The neighborhood around the workshop reveals much more pleasant during the day. It feels good. Last night, dinner with Matthieu responsible for producing discs Gaia, who gave us information about continuing the project and about the culture and nightlife of São Paulo. Things are settling. We're still in a bubble, we are not aware of the situation here. Vagos Echoes of the presidential visit and the terrible floods that occurred two days ago ... We have yet to find a place for 36 hours on days that fit only 24 hours. Come on, a caipirinha and to bed.

Cinq heures moins from - Five hours less


Marseille - Paris. Paris - Lisbonne. Lisboa - Sao Paulo. Taxi. Traversée de la ville, St. Paul est immense, grise, impassible. Tour to tour or détrempée alourdie par la chaleur. Première impression, c'est un seul grand quartier of 10 000 km2.
First weekend to absorb the jetlag, move into an apartment in Paraiso, and started writing songs almost immediately. We're here for five weeks to create a directory and record an album with the group Common Revista Do Samba.
It begins five weeks by ten-day residency at Teatro Oficina , place Zé Celso, director and legendary memory of the country. The building is located in a neighborhood, although roots, crossed by a highway. Inside, no scene, the audience is arranged vertically, Novo Teatro way. The goalkeeper has a machete to 60 cm long on hand. After the first four days to find a rhythm together, rub in the city, culture, scenery, drama Zé involved in this change of reference, an extension, pushing up a few notches further our energy. The music here is constantly flowing in, and inspires us already; writing at 8am, notebook and guitar ostinato hammered all morning, more traditional rehearsal in the afternoon, discussions, unbridled evening. Songs tucked in one go, heady drafts instantly labeled la ville.
Première sortie hier soir au arrosée Of The Borogodo, samba, danse, et caipirinha ... Demain, première journée de travail avec les Magazine ...

Marseille - Paris. Paris - Lisbon. Lisbon - Sao Paulo. Taxi. Across the city, Sao Paulo is huge, gray, impassive. Alternately diluted or overwhelmed by heat. First impression: it is a great neighborhood only 10,000 km2.
first weekend, we take the time zone, we settled in the apartment in Paradise and then almost started writing songs. We'll be here for five weeks, to list and record an album together with the band Revista do Samba.
began five weeks with these ten days of residence at the Theatre Workshop Ze Celso, mythic theater director and memory of the country. The building is situated in a popular, crossed by an avenue, near a motorway. Inside, no stage, the audience sits upright, the way the New Theatre. The custodian has a machete around 60 cm. After four days trying to find a common rhythm, rubbing in the city, culture, the lack of reference points, the theater's Ze participates in this process of change of references, the prolonged, gradually increasing our energy. Here, the music flows and it always inspires us, writing now 8am in the morning, notebook and guitar, Ostinato hammered all morning, more traditional tests in the afternoon, endless conversations in the evening. Songs completed in moments, sketches that do not leave the mind in a moment marked by the city.
First exit with caipirinha last night at the O Borogodó, samba, dance ... Tomorrow will be the first day of work with the magazines ...
