This album grew from numerous unfinished files scattered around my computers—melodies, bass grooves, and drum ideas I've been saving since the 90s. After years of quietly waiting and almost forgotten, back in 2019 I started working on these musical sketches, evolving into complete songs. The result is "Fundamental Illusions," an album that moves fluidly across genres, reflecting my diverse influences.
The tracks shift from raw, minimalistic, rhythmic grooves to dreamy, introspective moments. Singing in English and Brazilian Portuguese felt natural to me, especially given the musical warmth I find in Brazilian Portuguese, despite my European Portuguese heritage.
Each song holds its own story—some deeply personal, others more abstract, capturing emotions rather than specific narratives. While I composed and produced the entire project, collaborating with talented studio musicians and vocalists truly brought these compositions to life.
This album is dedicated to life, to love, and to everything that connects us deeply as humans—to my wonderful wife, my daughter, my sons, my cherished friends, and to the beautiful mystery of creativity itself. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I've enjoyed bringing these songs to life, and that somewhere within this music, you find something that resonates with your heart.
