ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN MULTIMEDIA ARTIST
For 24 years, I dedicate most of my time to the study of music and multimedia. Accumulating experience in musical composition, soundtrack, sound design, mixing, mastering, graphic animation, video editing, design and script. Since 2018, I have been producing audiovisual content about 432 Hz music.
My parents were Ana Mazzotti and Romildo Teixeira, virtuous musicians precursors of independent vinyl in Brazil. Romildo joined the Quarteto Novo with Hermeto Pascoal and, along with Ana, shared a stage with names like Chick Corea. See below a 2017 documentary about Ana Mazzotti.
At the age of 9, when my mother pass away, I was removed from music for 10 years, returning through work on radio stations and as an electronic music DJ. For 13 years, I maintained the site Cenacara.DJ, which cataloged the events, news and more than 100 profiles of artists and professionals in the electronic scene in Ceará. I also wrote about music technology for the two main local newspapers and presented two radio podcasts. See below a promotional video from 2011.
In 2012, I began the studies on music theory that resulted in the 432 Activists documentary, where I gathered the online content of 14 musicians, scientists and therapists who defend this musical tuning. The documentary was released in february 2018 on YouTube and was well received by the public and critics, playing an important role in the presentation of the different sub scenes among themselves. This was my first feature film that was produced independently. Read more about here.
Since then, I have deepened my studies on music theory, science, history and technology, to understand the relationship between tuning and rhythm with geometry, cosmology and mathematics, where the number 432 fulfills a fundamental function. See below the 2018 documentary.
In July 2020, the polymath Robert E Grant released the Precise Temperament Tuning, made for 432 Hz. I implement tuning files with these calculations for help music producers and electronic musicians. These files can be downloaded here (for 432 Hz 12-note Scale), and here (for 432 Hz 24-note Scale and 528 Hz 12-note Scale).
See below my 3 musical examples made for SWAM Instruments by Audio Modeling, that supports my 432 Hz content. Using the Precise Temperament Tuning.
PARTY THERAPY
Until the 1980s, MDMA/Ecstasy was used only therapeutically. When, in Dallas (USA), some party producer mixed with strong doses of caffeine, and then the Ecstasy Pill was born. The drug that most quickly became popular in history and that is pointed out as the main influence for the creation of fast and repetitive electronic dance music. MDMA is a psychedelic amphetamine very similar to the Mescaline, from the Peyote cactus.
Since 2010, I have been activism for the decriminalization of shamanic drugs and helped to include Brazil in the clinical trials that initiated the legalization of Psychedelic Therapy with this video below. In July 2023, Australia became the first country, making MDMA/Ecstasy (and Mushrooms), at the same time, the first legalized Psychedelic Therapy and the first non-profit drug developed in history!
“The Raves movement is an antidote to the fact that, for many people, the available religious rituals did not work. So they had to create their own!” – Rick Doblin (Founder and Director of MAPS – Psychedelic Association of Psychedelic Studies) Responsive to the legalization of Psychedelic Therapy.
BROADCAST
Until 2018 my main job was with multimedia for advertising. During the period I’ve worked in 6 radio stations, 2 advertising agencies and I’ve had a small audiovisual producer company. I have more than 5000 pieces broadcasted, including radio and TV commercials, vignettes, jingles, soundtracks, songs and remixes.
