He's debut as a composer was at the XV Biennial of Brazilian Contemporary Music, 2003, with the piece "Estilhaços-Constante Volta ao Indeterminado" (2002) for acoustic and electronic instruments, played by OFELEX. His debut album (full-length CD) "Sounds of the Orange Coloured Forest" was released september 2006 by Pralaya Records, from Brooklyn/NY.

My academic formation: student of the following people, Paulo Targino and Leo Soares (classical guitar), Maria Ísis de Oliveira, Samuel Araújo, Rodrigo Cicchelli Velloso and Joao Guilherme Ripper (Composition and Harmony/Forms), Sara Cohen and Carlos Almada, Sônia Maria Vieira, Ernani Aguiar (Orchestration), Roberto Macedo Ribeiro (Counterpoint), Rodrigo Cicchelli Velloso, Pauxy Gentil Nunes, Marco Vinício Nogueira (Composition), Marco Pereira, Nadge Breide and Cristina Behring (Piano) Hermano Viana and Sérgio Pires.

Nowadays, Leo Alves Vieira make his day-by-day living - besides everything cited - by teaching the classical and traditional guitar in private schools, gives private lessons of composition and classic guitar, plus basic musical principles to poor children from the public schools of Niterói, inside APRENDIZ project of this city's administration.

em português:

Compõe e interpreta (Violão) profissionalmente desde os 16 anos trilhas para curta-metragem ("O Fantasma do Teatro Municipal" de Luis Carlos Lacerda, "De Graça" de Mário Rocha, etc.) e teatro, onde compõe, interpreta e dirige musicalmente os espetáculos do premiado diretor Carlos Augusto Nazareth, como "O Menino Detrás das Nuvens" e "As incríveis aventuras de Zé Grande e seu fiel companheiro Manduca" e outras peças como "Absurdos" de Francisco Salgado e "Cintilante" de Milton Quadros. Desde 2000 vêm apresentando-se na Academia, atuando no coro que estreou mundialmente peça inédita de Edino Krieger no Teatro Municipal do Rio, em comemoração de aniversário da UFRJ.

   About Leo Alves Vieira (Electroacoustic Works)
"A new musical force from Brazil, Leo Alves mixes chamber sounds, ambient textures, and extended techniques on his first full-length release."
Pralaya Records - 2006

"From Brazil, a musical treasure: Leo Alves Vieira is an accomplished composer and musician. His debut CD 'Sounds of the Orange Coloured Forest' has been released by Brooklyn based Pralaya Records"
Robert Tucker (Indizoo.com) - 2006

"Subversões eletronicas aliadas a criativas colagens sonoras." (Fiberonline.uol.com.br) - 2007

"Produções influenciadas pela escola eletroacústica européia." (Fiberonline.uol.com.br) - 2008

"Leo Alves Vieira is from an exciting genre of young Brazilian composers and musicians. Experimental and chaotic, his compositions are subtle rhythms, counter rhythms and undefined melodies that do not try to explain or tell a story, do not follow any rule but to reflect the sights and sound of moment or a string of moments. They do not analyze, only experience the cacophony of sounds and beats that inspire them. Sometimes turbulent, sometimes quiescent and other times ambient. This is music that must be approached with no preconception, no expectations, tasting each layer and allowing the sabotage of clandestine notes that seem to have strayed in from some other place or time. This is what the music of life is all about, let your ears become your eyes."
Robert Tucker (Indizoo.com) - 2009

Thank you so much for sharing myspace with me, for listening to my songs and your leaving me your warm comments.
I have spent some time on your page with your music, it carries me to spaces, some invoke images, contextually confusing me.
