Recorded live in 2019, this live composition was mixed by the renowned Marc Urselli as an international donation made during quarantine.
In 2019, an intimate live session took place in the Bioma Musical studio, in Belo Horizonte - Brazil, gathering nine female musicians who performed and recorded live for a small audience.
"Nova Diretriz" is one of the tracks resulting from this edition of the project. The single was composed by six women - Bruna Vilela (guitar), Camila Rocha (bass), Lúcia Vulcano (guitar), Luisa Mitre (keyboard), Natália Mitre (drums), Paige (voice) - and the conductor Guilherme Peluci. In addition to these, three other musicians - Irene Bertachini, Nath Rodrigues and Marcela Nunes - took part in the process and composed other tracks that will be released later.
Walking through the aesthetics of funk and soul in its organic narratives of musical composition design - without leaving aside a pop drapery -, the single has its mix signed by Marc Urselli.
The track title symbolically illustrates the encounter of the musicians, who jointly built the song paths based on the only plan of expressing the potentialities of the female subjective and the experiences of female musicians when going up on stage. The verses "Once upon a time, I sang for you / A new guideline" are sung assertively and naturally by the great brazilian singer Paige in one of the dynamic variations of the song - corroborating this whole idea.
Conceived and conducted by Guilherme Peluci, the Ad Hoc Orquestra is a project based on collective improvisation techniques, used to create music in real time and promote the encounter between various artists.
Within this premise, Ad Hoc has already brought together more than 400 musicians from different countries in sessions of research, discovery and creation of spontaneous music. During the sessions, almost nothing is predetermined, valuing the creation of the moment and the encounter.
Ad Hoc is an Brazilian improv orchestra with no fixed members that bonds new groups at each
session.
Conducted by Guilherme Peluci, It is a combination of Conduction (practice of conducted improvisation, created by Lawrence Butch Morris) with other Conducted Improvisation systems.
Each concert has its own personality promoting the dialogue of different artists from multiple backgrounds....more
