before i say anything, I WANT THIS DRUMMER (and her dress) Thank you, now move along.
"Tropical Punk Abravanado da Silva Explode Coraçao da Sonja Khalecallon do Mar Aberto Olho Transparente e Corpo Fechado Pra o Que Nao Serve Rebate a Craca Recebe o Amor Arreia a Saia Meu Bem Pinta a Cara e Vai" music style baby, lick my eye and kiss my sampler.
Here we go.
i never really had a proper bio here... never wrote one for real.
but before i start, you should watch this to enhance your psychic abilities using the powers of the real james brown to intensify your sensitivity. enjoy.
ok
will attempt now.
i grew up in Sao Paulo listening to Technotronic, Mettalica, A-ha, INXS, Menudo, New Kids on the Block, Alice in Chains, The Ronettes, The soundtrack to Alien, a miscelaneous compilation on 50's rockn'roll, Rita Lee, Patrick Hernadez ( Born to be Alive), Richard Clayderman (it was in my dentist's waiting room. i wore braces for years), Africa Bambata, Faith No More, Alice in Chains, Live, Litz, Chopin, Bach, Bela Bartok, Looney Toons, Coleçao Disquinho, Naçao Zumbi, Legiao Urbana, Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze, Gal Costa, Dolores Duran, Tom Jobim, Edu Lobo, Joao Gilberto, Dorival Caymi, Mutantes, Balkan music, the Czardas, and countless afternoons at the municipal thetre watching random orchestras and string quartets, then trying to be a b-girl aged 14 dancing and spinning on the floor un-succesfuly... bla bla bla. etc, and i KNOW, someone will copy and paste this bit as it being my main musical influences on some release somewhere AND, it will look hilarious.
oh, i and i have a theory that is, anything you've been listening to since you were a baby until the age of 15 will be your main influences anyways. weird fish, huh?
to confuse furthermore, this is some of the stuff i dj and listen to the most, which, without a doubt, will end up, or have ended up in some album, somewhere, sometime: Balhead Growler, Mighty Sparrow, Yma Suman, Rita Pavone, Brigite Bardot, Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos, Dj Malboro, Deise Tigrona, Palhaço Carequinha, Os Saltinbancos, Cidadao Instigado, Jupiter Maça, Dirty Projectors, The Tiger Lillies, Nora Dean ..... and everyone on my top friends ... also on my top friends, there is my side project with Kristian Craig Robinson (aka CapitolK), we're called "Me Tarzan, You Jane!" and there i basically play synths and sing a tiny little bit, that ends up juicing me up as well ....
sorry, i have the attention span of a flee.
yes, biog ..
mmm .
yes, i studied everything you can find in a conservatory during a childhood in a music school, the norm, you play acoustic guitar, recorder, then moved onto piano and tried gatecrashing the synth class, but i wasn't allowed to play those thingybops until after completing 6 years of classical piano. erm. mm. when they were not looking, i was in there fiddling.
oh, there was percussion too. obviously.
that conservatory was part of an arts university, and the art rooms were not that hard to find, neither was the theatre bit. i used to hang out amongst the left overs from student's sculptures and keep bits to make things with by adding the bits to the clay my mother would buy me and paint it. furthermore, i'd try to sell those things, and bad watercolors to the poor people that encountered me, a skinny 12 year old with a metallic braces smile in the hallway of our building block, which i had designated as "my gallery".
i had been int he conservatory since age 5ishh... 6 , sort of.
By the age of 14, i left, and decided to play volleyball, hang out in the streets of vila mariana hood style, play truco, smoke cigarettes in the locker room of the volleyball gym, and then eat fandangos to cover it up. ew. no music playing then, i'm afraid, just a lot of dancing, theatre and voleyball.... well. a fair bit of singing walking on the beach of santos in the middle of carnaval, when for the first time ever, an "unwritten" song came into my mind. what a weird feeling. could i? can i? should i? wr..r.... r..... it....te? am, am.. a a a am, i singing?
frgot about it and stuck with acting.
till when i was about 16 boyfriend told me that if i didn't stop singing like that, he was going to have to "produce" me.
he was a music producer, but i had no idea of what exactly that was by then, you see ...
but that sparked something...
was i... should i... oh.. i like this.
next boyfriend was a pianist, from a family of musicians, and, it was at his house, that i truly started singing, then time flew, my love for music kidnapped me.
i was singing everywhere, in casting calls, awaiting for my cue to film, in the bathroom, in bank cues, in vans, kitchens, becoming my friend's personal jukebox (i still am).
the deal is, after singing the same songs a zillion times the same way, i started having ideas, and i wanted to change the way they sounded, the way they felt, so i had to do something.
production bug got me. by then i knew what a producer was, unlike when i was 16.
now that was going to be me.
met Suba, and he picked me up, and stuck me inside his wing and said : look at all this gear, soon you'll be controlling all of this, first we go on tour, and while i record you, you pay attention. so i did.
suba pasted away, and i met Apollo Nove, he was my first production/writting love, we don't even have to talk, we just get together and play, like building blocks of sonic gue, we jam, record, overdub, and chop, then chop again, the record on top, and it can get endeless. eventually we stop, and we feel the track is done. boy, i miss him. He's in Sao Paulo, so i don't get to see him as often.
I miss that studio, and miss sitting with Adriano, at a pre-CSS time, sipping weak coffee and talking about nothings and everythings. Well, Adriano lives here in london now, that's nice.
sorry, back to focus.
Yes, i moved to london, and started touring, bought myself a vocoder and started using two microphones live, using long feedback and distant delays, i could" sort of" sample myself, but i t only lasted "that long". Around this time i met Mike Lindsay, on a pre-Tunng moment, and started making music as well.
while touring, my pedal obsession started to swell, i saw Son of Dave with an Akai Headrush, and though: that's what i need, went and got an RC-20.
sorry about the geeky talk, these are sample pedals. Then i saw Mathew Herbert with his Orquestra, live processing and sampling, my mind was spinning, i had to find a way, then to make me melt even further, i saw Jamie Lidell, pre-Multiply, and, like a child says "i'm gonna be an astronaut when i grow up", i thought " ahhh, i wanna be like that dude when i grow up".
Eventually, i ended up with 30 kilos of gear that amount to a mixing desk, a KP2, and RC-50, VX-400, and a bunch of other toys and guitar stuff that i use to build up the tracks live and sing on them, finally. oh, face paint, and glitter as well.
i still paint, make things, explode, scatter them, then glue them back together and call it art, but my other me that does it. check "her" out.
ah.
there you go.
then i chopped some stuff i've found on the web, just like most people do. here :
Cibelle works by building tracks live on stage, welcoming special guests and inviting the audience to contribute to her ”bric-a-brac DIY” sound through sweet vocals, creative playfulness and lots of instrumental experimentation.
Her new single White Hair, released in September and also available at her shows, features remixes from Canada’s No Kids and London producer Kwes.
Her last album, The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves, released in the UK in 2007, received glowing reviews and featured guest appearances from Seu Jorge, Devendra Banhart and CocoRosie collaborator Spleen, while Tunng’s Mike Lindsay and Air’s Yann Arnaud co-produced.
As one of Dalston’s Supine Studio’s artist collective, Cibelle’s peers include Lightspeed Champion, Johnny Flynn and Josh Weller.
She is also a pioneer of Rick Castro’s Abranavista Movement – a new wave of artists celebrating moments of freedom, explosion and colour originating in São Paulo, part of the AVAF artist collective, and fur.uk.com.
NOW DANCE!
EM PORTUGUEISHHHH:
A paulistana Cibelle Cavalli se inclui na seleta safra de cantoras nacionais que já alcançaram reconhecimento no exterior mas cujo nome ainda é pouco familiar aos ouvidos brasileiros. com endereço em Londres e viajando pelo mundo desde 2002, a bela cantora e compositora é também multi-instrumentista e produtora, característica que se faz notar em seus discos e apresentações.

A música de Cibelle é reflexo de sua vida nomade ,ela trabalha organicamente com a musica em jam sessions gravadas que depois sao esculpidas no estudio para para tomar o formato de cançao , instpirada pelo produtor Suba, responsável por sua estréia em disco – no projeto ‘São Paulo Confessions’. Cibelle nao se prende a etiquetas sonoras e trabalha independente com a musica sem se prender em sonoridades especificas, utilizando desde instrumetos mais comuns como guitarras e pianos, como qualquer outro objeto ou briquedo , aleatoriamente . Cibelle é tambem colaboradora de artistas plasticos como David Shrigley (escocia) ,Doug Aitken (usa) ,Rick Castro (brasil), e trabalha com musica do ponto de vista de um artista plastico brincando com os sons como se fossem cores e sampleando ao vivo os instrumentos para compor as texturas sonoras, compondo colagens. Cibelle emprestou sua voz doce e cristalina à compilação ‘The new sound of Brazil2’, ao lado de nomes como Bebel Gilberto, Celso Fonseca,Trio Mocotó, Bossacucanova e DJ Dolores, e tambem a compilacao de colaboraçoes com DAvid Shrigley, ao lado de FRanz Ferdinand, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Final Fantasy entre outros.

Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcastday, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
I can't seem to stop listening to you sing. You have THE most lovely voice. Thank you for adding me as a friend. Do you every come to the United States? Maybe Las Vegas or Los Angeles? I would love to hear you sing in person. Donna Cooper
