about

.

O álbum B1620-25i é a íntegra da apresentação que o duo fez no porão do EC Walden em São Paulo em 02/08/2013. A apresentação foi gravada do palco por Cesar com um portastudio Zoom R16.

A arte da capa do álbum é a sobreposição de duas imagens:
1 - Foto tirada pelo telescópio Hubble do aglomerado globular Messier 4;
2 - Ultrassonografia do pré-natal de Laura, filha de Cesar e Mariana .
Mariana fez o show que originou o álbum enquanto estava gravida de 6 meses.

Em B1620-25i temos os traços característicos das sessões d’AEdB em 2013, tais como os beats minimais (por vezes em compassos diversos), a síntese analógica, os timbres do Casiotone contaminados por pedais de guitarra (Big Muff, reverb, delay etc), a escaleta e o acordeom que são processados e sampleados ao mesmo tempo em que são tocados, modulação com ondas quadrada, triangular e dente de serra, uso de teclado de fita para linhas de baixo, microfonia, oscilação de baixa frequência, ruído branco, emulação de malha de captura de fase.
B1620-25i também apresenta gravações de campo (como o vendedor ambulante dentro do ônibus durante a turnê no Chile e os periquitos na sacada de casa, ambos gravados com o iphone). Os loops são construídos na base do improviso livre, com a sobreposição de samples e uso de filtros e efeitos, muitas vezes em cascata. Pela primeira vez o duo utilizou, em B1620- 25i, a síntese granular, atingindo agudos estalantes.

In 2014 there are two releases scheduled:
- A split album between AEdB and A Full Cosmic Sound, to be released by O Bosque/Woodland recordings, on limited edition cassette (produced in England).
- The second full album, called B1620-25i.

B1620-25i is the whole of the show at EC Walden’s basement (São Paulo) on 02/08/2013. Cesar recorded the show on stage with a portastudio.

The cover art of the album is the superposition of two images:
1 - Photo of globular cluster Messier 4 taken by Hubble telescope;
2 - Ultrasound of Laura, daughter of Cesar and Mariana.

Mariana was 6 months pregnant when she played the show that originated B1620-25i.

B1620-25i presents the characteristic features of AEDB’s sessions performed in 2013, such as the minimal beats (sometimes in distinct measures), analog synthesis, the sounds of Casiotone contaminated by guitar pedals (Big Muff, reverb, delay etc), the melodica and accordion being processed and sampled at the same time they are played, modulation with square, triangular and saw tooth waves, use of ribbon keyboard for bass lines, feedback, low-frequency oscillation, white noise, emulation of phase-locked loop.

B1620-25i also features field recordings (like the hawker inside the bus during the tour in Chile and the parakeets on the balcony back home, both recorded with the iphone). The loops are constructed on the basis of free improvisation, with overlapping samples and use of filters and effects (often creating ripple effect). For the first time the duo used, on B1620-25i, granular synthesis, reaching high frequencies.
