	"Thelmo Cristovam, sound inventor from Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil, was spending a few months in Rio de Janeiro. Two days before Christmas, in 2004, I attended an aggressive presentation of feedback music played by Thelmo and Filipe Giraknob, from Rio, at Plano B, Lapa, Rio de Janeiro.
After the show, I asked for their help on my first solo concert, that would happen a few weeks later at the same place. They readily accepted the invitation. My first idea was that they would make the same feedback sounds on my show. We met one month later in my house for a session, but instead of mixing desks and cables, Filipe brought his electric guitar and effect pedals, and Thelmo brought his sax and trumpet. And we recorded this improvisation presented here. It was a rainy day, January 24th, 2005. The improvisation was lead by Thelmo: due to the fact that his timbres were louder than everyone else's, they had to be controlled. Consequently, me and Filipe also had to keep control of our sounds to keep the balance. The result is an apparently calm recording, but full of suspense, as if it was going to explode at any moment. During the recording, we noticed the sound of the rain was very loud. For a short moment we stopped playing, and I opened the window. The microphone got some of the rain: the sound of the fourth instrument, played by Nature. It was a sublime moment. We were supposed to do a rehearsal before my show, but that never happened. In the day of the concert, they came with the same instruments from that first session. Despite not having rehearsed, that didn't make a difference: I just gave them the basic directions and the result was much better than I expected. Fantastic! What is rehearsing for?"
