The second release by the M=minimal label is the rediscovery of a musical jewel. The first limited edition of this extraordinary album was released in 1984 in Brazil. In the '80s in the field of minimal music, nothing similar to it was released and it was long overdue to make this record accessible again. Imagine the scene:
Caetano Veloso
and
Jim O'Rourke
collaborating on Brazilian-flecked minimal pieces. The result might sound like this recording.
Chico Mello
is a Brazilian composer who studied with
Dieter Schnebel
and
Witold Szalonek
and who has lived and worked in Berlin for 20 years.

Mello has also worked with colleagues such as
Arnold Dreyblatt
,
Daniel Ott
, and
Burkhard Schlotthauer
's
Wandelweiser
ensemble. Currently, he is working with
Nicholas Bussmann
(
Kapital Band I
/
Ich Schwitze Nie
) on a Brazilian song cycle. This album has been mastered at ~scape mastering studio, Berlin.
