What's up, guys? I am Bruno Valverde.
As I have told you, to answer the questions you asked the on the previous video.
Ok? Well, I'm going to answer them now.
First of all, thank you for the questions, the comments. I liked the feedback you
gave me. The ones who commented. Thanks. It motivates us to think about
strategies to be closer to our fans.
Okay?
I'm here with the PC. I'm going to read the questions. If the video gets too long,
I'll hold it for a while, but let's do it. Alright?
Let's answer the first.
Marcos Galasso. "Actually it's a suggestion. Why don't the band do a clinic camp
like Megadeth did in California? I'm sure a lot of people would learn a lot
and would pay for that.
Try to find a good place. That's the idea".
Well, Marcos, we've though about it. It's something that needs organization,
but we are composing this year, the year of a new album. Focusing on it.
What comes relating to the album. This year it's difficult to share a lot
of attention. Moreover, we are just doing few concerts to really have foucus
on the album. Being the most creative as possible. Be creative to have an excellent
for all of you. So, this year we can't organize something like that but,
I think that next year comes the tour of the new album. After that we can
think about this kind of camp with Angra. It's a good idea. We've thought of it.
But, it's good to know you gave this feedback, so it's possible. Ok? Thanks!
Alexandre de Oliveira said "Hello, Bruno. Are you ok? I'd like to know about
special participation. Is there any on this new album? Can you say it?
And what's the procedure to choose this featuring?"
Basically this. Alexandre de Oliveira.
Yes, there will be a participation or more than one.
It's defined. It was unanimous voted by the whole band. Everybody followed
the same way when the idea to comment about that appeared.
We are very happy. Because it's a very strong name, special, it'll join forces
with what we want to do. And it's confirmed!
It'll be great. You'll like it for sure. But I can't say who is right now.
Otherwise, there's no surprise, huh?
Anibal Monteiro: "Bruno, which elements from Northeast rhythms do you use on Angra?
Have you listened to Maracatú, Baião, Coco or Manguebeat?"
Yes, I've listened all of it. I love Brazilian rhythms. And, nothing to say about Angra.
Angra's history tells a lot that the band always puts something Brazilian on its music
since the it started. I think that this is something different to put something
from your culture. And export it in a Rock Metal style. Let's put this way.
That's what we try to do.
An interesting thing talking about the composition of the new album.
We were there in Campos do Jordão, everybody, we sat to do the first jam.
Just to play some things.
By chance the first three ideas from different styles we had there
were something related to this Brazilian music way.
So, it's something I say about this creative procress that the first idea we had
a lot was going to this Brazilian side.
So, talking about me. A rhythm I like a lot is Maracatú.
Maracatú has a kind of rhythm that is very interesting. So, everything I do
in Angra, Rock/Metal or instrumental, I like to find a way that I can put some
Maracatú influence. It's already inside me because I like it very much.
Not Maracatú as the entire rhythm or the dance associated with it, obvious.
But, in some elements. That's what you can add on your music and do this mix
of some music from Northeast with Fusion, more Ameriacan or what would be Fusion idea
of mixing. Or simply the Metal like Angra does very well for so long.
And this new album won't be different.
AS we did on Secret Garden as well.
Got it?
Gustavo Penedo. He says "Bruno your style with the left hand annoyed me
when I first saw you on Angra. How is that, to play this way?"
And then, he pays some compliment. "You're a great drummer".
Thank you, Gustavo.
Well, it's a question since when I joined the band... 3 years.
Everybody talks a lot about that "the traditional grip".
For those who are not drummer and don't understand, the drummers know that,
instead of playing with both hands like this, my left habd I play this way
That's the traditional grip. A traditional way. It started like this on the snare drum.
It's a way that... How can I say? That annoyed some people, as you say.
You assumed that. I think that's good you say that, but...
That's the way I play, my style. It has to do with me.
So, I can't adapt everything because I am in a new band or a new style.
That's my way to play. So, it doesn't change a lot independent the style I play
because I am used to do like that for a long time. More than 10 years.
So, to me, it's natural. Of course the tradional, for you drummers,
consumes more. It's a little harder play like this because this part about drums
is a little more complex. But, I like this thing. So, I do everyday.
However, If I want, to play metade grip, my two hands this way.
Palms facing the grouns. Metade grip.
Or power grip. Ameriacan... all that stuff...
I can also do it. When I want I change. When I think it's necessary. Or no.
It's something that doesn't depend on the playing. It changes or not the sound.
It's a question of drumstick position.
It's not so traditional on Metal or Rock, but we are here to reach places you dream of.
So, it was a dream to be here someday, and be here doesn't mean to change the base,
change the background or use this as something I have for me,
that I always wanted to be together, to be in another place.
I think you got it what I wanted to say.
Done? For me is natural if one day I have to play metade grip.
I'll play it. And it's ok.
Alright?
This question is a kind of comment.
Samir Pegado asked: "How did you get to the part, the chorus, in Upper Levels,
when you were composing it. And, if you can demonstrate, even better. Hugs".
Well, do it here it's complicated because I have to arrange my things here, but
I'll talk about that part.
The chorus of Upper Levels, talking more technically for the musicians, the drummers.
The chorus has the measure in 4 and 7.
So, the 7 you... It's an odd measure. It's odd.
Stronger. It doesn't sound so natural for those who are not used to.
But, the big thing is, this 7 didn't come from a forced way.
We didn't sat there and thought of it. A chorus in 7.
We're playing and this melody was in 7.
So, instead of doing something 4/4 to finish this.
Or reduce to have it correct, let's talk this way.
We simply used that 7 together with the molody. The melody was perfect.
The original idea of this chorus was that both measures were in 7.
So, it was all 7. There was no 4 and 7.
However, the first 7 was crossing a little with the rhythm idea, the melody.
So, we decided to keep the 4 and do the 7. Now, talking about the groove.
I thought of doing the groove thinking that this odd measure was not so evident.
After all, it is a chorus. I didn't want to do something so shocking in 7.
Then, I thought of doing something in 7 that I covered the pressure, for example,
of the bass drum. To have that base from the groove.
I play this bass drum right on the 7, for example, on the other measure 4.
For example, 4/4. But I covered with something on China or on the dome
so you could cover a little the odd measure, for example.
Then, I thought it was cool because it's a 7, but as it has other elements from
sixteenth note , after the tempo, talking technically once more.
You can cover the odd measure from 7 and do an 8 like a normal 4/4, but
put 8 because I was in 7. So you can move and it can be more fluent.
My goal was to do this 7 be more fluent instead of being totally odd.
As the melody helps a lot, so it was not so difficult to do something shocking
because the melody is also odd. So it's not so difficult to the audience sing in a show.
The ones who memorize and understand, it's ok. But the ones who don't,
it's difficult to... "oh, it's odd, it's difficult". It doesn't happen.
As I know that Angra fans understand about music.
All the fans I talked to on backstages, meet and greet or something like that.
They were always very related to music.
So, they know more about the Prog, this progressive part.
But, I tried to do in a way that the fluence was no so shocking.
It's basically that.
Paola Carvalho. She says " I don't know if you were asked about it, but
do you feel pressed because you are the youngest?
When did you start to play and decide to work professionally with music?
I am a fan for 20 years and thank you to be there and hope you always be
and you are great".
Thank you for the compliment. I am happy with this feedback once more.
It motivates us to do this things. Thank you so much.
The first question...
If I feel pressed because I'm the youngest on the band?
No. I don't think so because as I say, not to explain about the other member, but
I already played with Kiko and Felipe, so we have travelled together I have
lived together with them in a tour bus, hotel... so we were friends already.
Not only the professional life. So, there's no pressure about my age.
The other guys from the band. Paulo Baron, everybody much older, double of my age,
or Felipe, ten years older. However, I didn't feel this.
From my part what I can feel about intimadition or not, let's talk like this.
Maybe that's the question. I feel the reponsability because I'm involded
that's not only a feedback for the fans, but for all the band members.
From my part, it's just this responsability to give the result that the band has always given.
Quality, good music... so I have this responsability "I'll, more than play,
because the band expect this from me, I'll do everything to overcome all of this
because of me. Got it? So, this is it. Pressure from the band, I didn't feel.
The fans, some fans in the begining were like "I don't know", "He's young"...
The things about the traditional I mentioned, but today, 3 years after I did many shows with Angra,
I was talking to Fabio, he has an agenda, everything written on it.
It's almost 90 concerts with Angra. I don't know for sure, but it's like that.
Nowadays everything is fine, I'm ok with the fans, they always talk to me...
So, everything is ok.
Okay?
There's the second question...
"When did you start to play?"
Very early. I have this background from the church and my parents gave me support.
I stared playing drums when I was 9. I had a goal in my head when I started.
Somehow, I didn't know about bills or money. But, a great goal was born.
"I can't see myself, there's no other home but to be here on drums, dedicating myself to it"
So, the professional life came in consequence of my passion for the drums
and I don't know how to do other thing very well I just know to play the drums.
It's drums. Like... it's just this.
Got it?
Gleybson Dias.
"Hello, Brunão. Fine?" Fine!
"Actually, I have to questions. The first, we know that Angra is composing the new album,
I'd like to ask your inspirations to compose, the rhythms, technique, what sound will it have,
the harmonies, melodies... The second one: How do you deal with business, promote your job?"
The inspirations, there are current things, that we listen and find them interesting.
But, in general, there are many things out the burden I had to Secret Garden,
many things kept for so long, the will to do and compose new things, good lines,
you work with the band, take the spirit, understand how it works,
listen to old songs, that you didn't know, understand all the sounds.
You create a hall of ideas how you study, create things that you say "Let's keep it".
"Ah... this one I can keep it for that", "This one no, but this one yes".
So, you keep a bag full of ideas that you say "I want to use this".
So, I keep my influences in general, since the Fusion this...
Djent Metal, Perifery, Textures... I'm listening a lot. Gojira... many of these bands.
They are always modern influences. Meshuggah there's nothing to say. There are always things
that you can listen and say "I can play with this somehow".
"How do you deal with music business, marketing, promoting your jobs?"
Well, they have to walk together. Nowadays, there's no how to split this.
Like, I'll study and finish. I'm just studying.
Nothing else will happen. So, you have that musical period of life that you really have
to me, of couse, it happened to me. So, that's what I can say.
You really need to focus on your instrument. Only the instrument, study, search about it,
create this connection with it.There's this long period, so you can develop some
maturity to go on road, to do the things. This is my opinion I did like that.
Now, there's a point in your career that you are doing things that you need to associate
everything that you do with marketing because, otherwise, things don't walk alone.
Currently, you so many thing on your own. Sometimes you're the producer, the manager,
your own everything, this and that. Because you don't have those cash
that comes from outside to maintain your own job. So you do on your own.
It's good because you can focus on what you really want. That's the modernity,
the internet that comes interesting things, different, that are things made for only one person.
So, marketing has to be connected with all the things you do in music. That's my point.
Neto Potter. Oh... Chris Potter surname. That's it.
"Bruno, your technique and versatility, how do balance reason and romantism
when you create new compositions?"
Thank you, Neto. It's interesting.
How to find balance between reason, maybe the technical parts to the feeling, emotion...
what you like in music, or the romantism that the band shows in arts concept,
music style that Angra has a lot, many styles... many things.
Man, find a balance is, to my mind, your maturity to know where you are.
I'm Angra's drummer. What does it have? Does the band have a history? Yes or no?
Angra has a history of 25 years. Almost my age. How do you do... How do I respect
the balance for what was done. It's about me, not what the band would interfere
on composing like "Your odd". It didn't happen because of it, you search about the band,
so you can understand the goal of the band talking about music.
So, you can put this romantism. It's more put your style, things you like on the band.
And Angra is like this.
Five heads thinking, for several times each one listening to different things, likes
different things, but it all boils down to what we like to do. We together like this music.
So, I got this vibe. Together with Angra I like to do this kind of music.
That's the thing. How we respect each ones influences. That is different musically.
You can mix this and say "Good let me take the best of it and bring it to this music".
So the guy comes with an influence and you say "Maybe it's better with this groove".
Then, I come with a groove that is not... Then, the guy says "This riff, this groove..."
Then... got it? It's a mix. There's the emotion of the personal side,
to the balance that the band has for song long. That's it.
Well, the video is getting too long, I'll try to do it faster.
"What do you want with the new album?".
"Retrieve the roots? More liberty to create?".
I think that this liberty was always present on Angra, I cannot say the all the albums,
on Secret Garden it was present. This one is also. We started the compositions already.
So, it has a lot this freedom.
Respecting some spaces of the musical styles we believe to have in an album.
A lot of creative liberty.
Respecting some limits, some standards that are from Angra.
As I answered before.
Hugo Carvalho: "What's going on in october, the band's anniversary?"
We are thinking of something, some strategies, celebrations, we're negociating,
but I believe that it'll have something.
Let's do it as a surprise because there's nothing for sure.
Okay?
Pedro Henrique Marsal sending a comment to Felipe.
"Why don't Felipe sing anymore, or has a song only for him? His voice is good".
Look, Felipe... look.
Pedro, I don't know why. I think that things go and suddenly it's not there anymore.
But, he always sings at the concerts, does some backings.
Winds Of Destination he sang, but we are no playing it anymore.
But we want to play it again. I like this song a lot.
And I think that will play it soon.
Felipe Thomas Gomes...
"What about that acoustic project?"
Well, it is in stand-by. The focus for this and next year, with a tour
of the new album. We record in August in Sweden.
So, the focus is the new album, eletric, heavy, many new interesting things.
This is it. New album this year for very nice tour next year.
Phillon Prado "Are you thinking of new Brazilian styles for the new album?"
I've talked about that. It's inside the DNA of the band. This Brazilian style.
So do I. So, of course yes. We have ideas like that.
And they are very nice. And I'm loving them.
Valmir Falaschi said "My bro... What the fuck are you doing on Angra? Go play Axé Music".
Oh, Valmir... C'mon, man. Ok. That's the democracy.
We need to have all the comments. I read Valmir Falaschi's that doesn't like me.
Okay. No problem.
I'm trying to satisfy you on next album.
Okay, Valmir? Let's go.
Renata Martins "Bruno, what do like to listen as well as Metal Rock?"
I like to listen to Fusion, instrumetal... It's something I like a lot.
Thiago Ramos Borba "Hey, Bruno. How's the pre production of the new album?"
Man, we started hard. We started in Campos do Jordão.
With everybody from the band. It was cool, we recorded many ideas and now
we are working on somethings, some lines. It's doing well.
I'm loving it because you are talking a lot about the new album. You are tuned with us.
About the new album... very good!
Rick Anderson "Will Kiko participate on the new album composition?"
Of course yes. There will have some things. He is always present with Rafa and Felipe,
Paulo... everybody. So, for sure, there will be something with Kiko.
"What will be different on this album?"
It's difficult to say... Well, wait. You'll have a good album from my part and from us
as a band. Of course, we are very happy and anxious to do the best as possible
recording the album.
"What are your favorite bands?"
I like many bands. I like instrumetal music, I like Allan Holdsworth,
Tribal Tech, Chick Corea... I like fusion, instrumental songs.
So, what comes to my mind is fusion, progressive. I like Yes, Genesis, Rush...
Mesuggah, Textures... This is it.
Durval asked "When the songs come back to spotify?
They are working on it. I don't know.
Many people asking about it. Hope it comes back soon, so you can follow.
Julio Cesar "Is there a new song from the new album?"
There are thing going well.
I cannot say it's totally done.
But there are good ideas.
Ana Andreia says "The best band".
"When is the new CD out?"
Thank you. We record it in august, maybe, the end of this year.
And new tour comes together strongly.
Pedro Antonelli asks: "Bruno, how did you know the band?"
It's difficult for a musician that is studying, not to know Angra.
This is the experience I have with all my friends that know the band,
somehow. Not all the history of the band, but know Angra or listened about.
So, I have been studying... Eleven years old. I changed the teacher I was 12 or 13.
Then, I knew Angra. As I told once, I bought Holy Land.
I was 12 or 13. Then, That's how I met Angra.
Studying some songs and after studying the songs for real.
Gabs Victor "When is Angra coming to BH?"
We have gone so many times to BH the past two years.
It's always very cool.
We love BH. We love all the cities, but BH there were a lot of people.
Because there's that relation like... Sometimes go to a city...
Sometimes we go but... a lot of fans say "I didn't know about the concert".
You know? What I ask you is: Ask for the show in your cities.
Follow us on our page, check the posts. We are always promoting the shows,
recording videos and promoting them, there is the flyer or something like that.
So you can't say that missed Angra's concert in your city once week before
this comment. So, stay tuned on our page that you'll always see the posts
about the concert. Don't miss any Angra's concert.
Well, what I noticed is that there are a lot people waiting the new album.
I'm happy. We are very happy to know it.
Because it shows our renovation, creativity and will to show something new
And the fans to see something new about us. It keeps the wheel turning.
I'm very happy for that and also there are many things about Spotify.
I'll ask them about the process. Maybe I can answer after because I don't know about it.
Ok? Thank you once more for the comments, the questions, the compliments, the crictics.
It makes part of the process. As I said to be closer to you.
It doesn't mean that I will find only people that love us.
But, what counts is that we are together and keep this closer relation.
Okay? See you next video. Thank you, guys. See you... Bruno Valverde.
