Audioworks
Music has always been a way of escaping the trivial and ordinary, as it adds meaning to life.
Below, selected soundscapes, tunes, ongoing creative playlists, EPs and albums are listed as expressions i’d like to share with you.
Hey there!
I’ve been playing drums/percussion since 1996 and I’m just an enthusiast at it.
My initiation in music took place at home, due to having a pianist mother and a tenor father, both much into traditional religious, country music, and blues.
Around 1987 I discovered the power of heavy music while listening to Black Sabbath for the first time, and since then I have delved into several genres of music, and mostly worked with stoner/heavy rock and soul music bands. This is not my main line of work but I’m sharing some of it here.
*I’m currently recording, playing, and touring with: High On The Hog, C A N I C O R S I ,
The Gramophones, TRNK & Atacama Pool Party

C A N I C O R S I is an experimental synth wave / dark ambient duo spawned from a series of Atacama Pool Party jam sessions in which the surging compositions leaned a bit more toward such styles. Starting its activities in 2021, it remains a side project formed by Giovanni Piccoli and me.
-
Using memes for an end: Free Speech matters. This is a badly drawn mod of HHS pulled off by Giovanni Piccoli and myself. Much like C A N I C O R S I, its compositional method remains as free and intuitive as possible but with desert rock and progressive rock vibes.
-
The Gramophones is a rock band founded by Felipe Rangel and Brunno Cunha, which started back in 2010 in Vargem Grande Paulista (SP) and since then I been a part of the team. Having various formations and featured artists as collaborators, it has hot new stuff coming out soon !!!!
In Exile, we have found ourselves recording a brand new album during this pandemic.

projects & bands that are worth mentioning
Hellhound
Syndicate
Idealized in 2005, formed in 2008, the hell pack is one of my dearest works in music, comprehending several formations but having in each one of them whole-hearted musicians and friends who poured their souls out in their contributions to the band. Since 2017 in a hiatus, but still with unreleased material to become public, this band is one good patch on my sleeve and a source of much pride.
SATVRNDVST
SATVRNDVST is one of the most prominent Sludge/Stoner Doom bands in Brazil, having made its way overseas in 2017 ( Psycho Las Vegas ) and already with 3 LPs under its wings. Founded and headed by Phil Dalam since 2013 apocalyptic tunes from outer space are their forte.
PAX
Pax is a Metal band I was a part of from 2004 to 2012 and it carried a great piece of my heart having members whom I consider as family. Despite having few releases, it served its purpose becoming a milestone for us and mothering the bases for what the following works of its members came to be.
Projeto Caixa Preta
Projeto Caixa Preta is a blues-rock/alternative band led by Rafael Mimi, from which many other projects steemed. Not just a gathering of musician friends, the band dwelled into soulful compositions with a heavy dose of classic rock to them, bringing out rather emotional themes to its records but blazing performances full of improvisations making each concert a unique experience.
General Blunt
General Blunt is an experimental DUB band, led by Marcelo Maciel Melo and Gus Alvarado, displaying a lifetime of musical brotherhood and several guest musicians of which I happen to be one. Lots of trips, always with good licks and powerful messages.
Underfunk
A Soul/ Brazilian pop band, with triphop and alt-rock influences. It was active from 2004 to 2008, Underfunk was a band formed by Renato Galozzi, Guga Machado, Henrique Segamarchi, Nano Garcia, Milton Leme, and myself. It was good time, it was a good place to be.
OmegaCode
Starting back in 1999, OmegaCode is a band headed by the Baldin brothers. The band delves into a place between progressive metal, industrial and experimental electronic music. I was a founding member of this band and departed from it in 2008. Still, I’d like to celebrate this band as one very important figure in my audio portfolio.
TRNK
Sludge / Metal band founded back in 2006 ish. Currently formed by Matthew Liles on vocals, Christian Renscht on guitars, Bruno Rocha on bass, and Felipe Toffani on drums ( originally, then Bruno Coelho, then yours truly ), the band remains active for more than a decade. having released one LP and 2 singles.
HIGH ON The HOG
These Hogs breed pearls. Marcos, George, Paulo, Fred & J. threw in their classics inside a pressure pan, and the outcome was groovy and soulful. A nice jolly ride on a wild hog’s back. - I’m way too sus to talk on the matter, I know, but oh boy, this is one of the greatest bands I’ve been a part of. There’s a lot more to come but for now, we have a self-titled Ep on most music streaming platforms and a few videos to showcase our material.
