Mariano de Melo, aka Marian Sarine, is a multi-instrumentalist, active as the drummer/percussionist for DEAFKIDS, playing synths and percussions live with the electronic vanguard artist Felinto, and as a solo artist (under the moniker of Sarine).

Having acted in several ocasions as a live musician for bands such as Test (percussion), Rakta (drums/percussion), as well as the percussive counterpart for B. Gold's cuatro on the duo Cavalo Serpente, Sarine has as a basic concept and as destiny the strength of rhythm as music's most ancestral principle and, at the same time, its most sophisticated resource, on a search for the natural, transcendental aspects of the cyclical trance - one where his driving power and goal are the gathering of self-knowledge.

The album is based in old and new themes, recorded in an old Brazilian organ from the 80's. By making use of a few arpeggio patterns (namely 'Jazz Rock' and '16 Beat'), in improvisational detours which take off from the juxtaposition of rhythmic ideas over such patterns, I use them as starting point to achieve other groove possibilities, incorporating the overlaid notes the organ adds as another improvisational element, in a kind of a self-jam. The record drives inspiration from several sources, such as Charanjit Singh's experiments on modernizing traditional North-Indian ragas to an electronic setting, as well as master organist/synth players from different parts of Africa, like Hailu Mergia, Mammane Sani and Hama.

The album also deals with the manipulation of limited resources, posed by the quarantine period, through a lo-fi perspective which takes into consideration the urgency and restriction that seep through the present moment.
