What a great show!

As available here: http://vitor-cunha.com/diaries/big-problem-diaries/big-problem-live-march-201… The show was great. It’s been a while since the band played this venue (actually, it was exactly one year ago) but everything went smoothly and the audience participation was simply amazing. The songs themselves are more than partially responsible for such an overwhelming response – it takes more than a few chops to write such amazing stuff. Nevertheless, the band was on fire and played like there’s no tomorrow. More pictures (maybe videos too) will be posted briefly.
Here’s the setlist: Saiu Para a Rua / A Gente Não Lê / Beirã / Fio de Beque / Logo Que Passe a Monção / Porto Côvo / Melgas e Mosquitos / Elegia Sanjoanina / A Paixão (segundo Nicolau da Viola) / Sayago Blues / Lado Lunar / Todo o Tempo do Mundo / Não me Mintas / Primeiro Beijo / Chico Fininho / Não Há Estrelas no Céu / Cavaleiro Andante / O Prometido é Devido / ENCORES: Fado do Ladrão Enamorado / Porto Sentido

If you haven’t already – and if you are not portuguese, you’re bound not to – check out the original material, it’s pretty amazing. You can find it in iTunes here (different countries have different amounts of musics – shame on you EMI for corporate stupidity making your catalog hard to find abroad). Here’s a photo gallery which I’ll update promptly as soon as I receive other photos.

Some heavy bouncing in Logic.

Tomorrow and Saturday I’m having friends over to record backing vocals. It should be a treat rewarded with a meal which I’ll be cooking. It should be great.

Progress

I won’t give names of songs away but it’s going great. I have 7 finished and ready to go. Next week will be working in another batch. By the end of February it should be ready to mix. I’m very happy with the shape this record is getting. I’m sure you’ll like it too.

Started working on a piece titled “The Welder’s Son”. Going slowly but with a very basic rhythm section ready to develop. Hope it all goes well since I’m very fond of the lyrics.

I’m really proud of “Frau Cabaret”. I wasn’t sure of it before adding instruments but now I’m pretty sure it fits the new album beautifully. Of course, it can change in context with the other cuts. Day off tomorrow and an informal rehearsal with Big Problem Sunday morning. I’m picking up the notebook after writing this to rewrite another song in dire need of adequate words. Have a nice weekend.

Another day at the studio

In 2003 I wrote concept of a song which stayed as bunch of one-liners until recently. It’s called “Frau Cabaret” and the only thing set in stone was actually the title. Today I started a demo sketch of it which will eventually evolve to a full featured song. I’m very happy with the lyrics but the music needs a bit of tweeking. Tomorrow I’ll keep trying it and surely it will become aparent if it’s a hit or a miss. In the meantime I have shortlisted the rest of the songs I’m planning to record. Still a long way to go, if you ask me.

Bad weather

We’ve been having a very bad weather these past few weeks. There have been floods in my hometown but, fortunately, as far as I’m aware, no one’s been hurt. I’m really looking forward to less rainy days. About the iTunes promo - it’s over. Please don’t send more receipts as I can’t send you more gift cards. Stay tuned for further promos. I finished recording another song, “We Got This Far”. I’m really proud of it. We’ll have to see if it ends up on the new album. The rest of the week it’s for me to record a bit more. I’ll try a couple of other tunes and keep you posted of the results.
