Kiko Loureiro Talks about Tarja Turunen Summer Tour (Part Two)

Tarja Turunen

Kiko, Tarja and friends.

Part two of Kiko Loureiro's blog post about Tarja Turunen Summer Tour is now available. Read the first part of the story at here. For those who are new about this story, Kiko Loureiro was the guitarist for Tarja's Summer Tour. The complete line-up are as follows:

Tarja Turunen (Vocals)
Mike Terrana Drums (Masterplan, Savage Circus, ex Rage, ex Malmsteen)
Maria Ilmoniemi (Keyboards)
Doug Wimbish Bass (Living Colour, Madonna, Jeff Beck, Rolling Stones)
Kiko Loureiro Guitars (Angra)
Max Lilja Cello (Hevein, ex Apocalyptica)

In his blog, Kiko wrote "Directly of palco of the first show in Budapeste for the “Tour-bus”. "

“Tour-bus” is understood as a cocoon-mother with 12 casulicos. These, called in English language, “bunk”, are the beds. For me, however, more they seem half-open coffins with ventinho and luzinha of reading with one cortininha to guarantee the individuality the optimum style “visits soul” of the Brazilian chains. It is truth also that the cocoon-mother has kitchen, bathroom, video game, films, music and colloquy, much colloquy. Everything this on four wheels is clearly.

In it we travel stretches of 15, 20 and up to 36 hours in this tour.

It is practically a Big Brother of the metal with wheels, but without Peter Bial (fortunately). All there searching its peace spiritual, in a introspective wait, not to defenestrar third or proper itself.
Clearly that following cartilha of the Human Rights, we had right to the sun bath in the stops for the coffee of the morning… do not ask on lunch or supper, therefore sun bath, as we know well for law, is a time alone to the day…

Beyond the band with 6 people, we had in the group the entrepreneur, technician of sound, technician of monitor, technician of light, roadie, tour to manager and two drivers.
A collection of multicultural DNAS: Beyond the Finnish and Brazilian uses a keyboard who you, had English, Turk, Argentine, Americans and Germans.
We were for Romênia in Bucharest, country of the Drácula and later for Eslováquia in a city whose name of so complicated my memory made question to forget.

After each show we always came back to the life of the cocoon. The doubt was always the same one: to enter in the project “vodka in the pass” with the Finnish to sleep anestesiado and to dream there of the house bed, or to hibernar in the tomb to the dry one. The countless hours that we pass in this life of clam, provided the possibility to me to vary on the two subjects.

Some photos of the show of Bucharest for vocês. E is clearly the photo of the bus, that beyond all yellow age. The figure with me is the German driver (it notices that the said one likes yellow… and fortunately in the photo it does not appear the bermuda shorts reasons-samambaias to the style “I am foreign well and I go to use to advantage this sun month with my tropical bermuda shorts”)

More soon!
Homesicknesses

Kiko Loureiro Talks About Neural Code

Kiko Loureiro the amazing guitarist for the band Angra, the Brazilian metaller who released his latest album Neural Code recently, has posted new entry in his official blog. The blog originally was written in Portuguese and has been translated to English. It is not that accurate and reading the contents can be very confusing for some people. In his blog, Kiko Loureiro wrote :

Guitar Player - another post

This is post that it left edition board of the Guitar Player.
As fiance', always I place here in net the text that leaves in the magazine.

This is on the Neural Code and artistic ways.
Abraços KIKO

NEURAL CODE
The perpetual search of a diverse and challenging musical way has to be inside of each one of us. The musician must inside balance of itself disturbing a beneficial arrogance leaves that safe to show it to its art and the constant doubt and of that this really condiz art with its personal yearnings. When this balance meets and they recognize it to the people and they approve, the satisfaction is full. One rewards for as much devotion to music. However, this sensation nor always is lasting and infinite.


Therefore, the search of diverse artistic ways must be always in first plan for a sincere musician with itself exactly and strong artistic desires. It was this search that Cuca Teixeira, Thiago Espirito Santo and I made in the writing of our new work, Neural Code.
Research, intermeshing, experimentation, diversion, mixtures, synergy, plethora of musical information. We place in eight bands our neural code, that is, our DNA brain-musical comedy. We look the satisfaction with what we have of safer in each one and with what we could search of more challenging - formulas of compass, styles, textures, timbres, rhythms, harmonias and melodies that had appeared by means of this cerebral intersecção of three people who possess a diverse musical description.


We weekly found in them without preconceived ideas e, from improvisation moments and jams, the subjects took form. To each day, to each assay, a music was born of natural and satisfactory form for a three - composition with instantaneous approval and the participation of all. In this form of creation, the ego is of is of the studio and the contribution is basic.
In mine workshops, is recurrent the question on composition. Of where appears the idea? How to create a music? Melody or first harmony? E for goes there… To compose is one practical one. As well as we have the concern with the technique study - we are hours and hours training scales, arpejos, tapping, on etc. -, the ability to also compose is born for intermediary of the daily exercise. From a simple idea - what can be a small melody or two chords with which you if still identify or one led interesting one -, as to have the creativity and the control to leave this point of origin and to produce a part with innumerable parts? A thought leads to another one. An initial climate sediments a concept that serves of guide for an entire music.


It is basic to reserve a time of its study for the creation of that he is entirely proper. It starts for something simple and it develops it. If not to like resulted it, faces as an exercise and repeats the procedure. With certainty, good ideas will appear. To know more on the new COMPACT DISC that I recorded Cuca Teixeira and Thiago Espirito Santo together with, it visits www.myspace.com/neuralcode.
