BRZ is the last chapter of the “.brz” series, an ode to the place that is actually hosting Joao Ceser.
“BRZ” follows “Fiumi.brz”, “Finestra.brz”, and “Orto.brz”, all released by 51Beats between 2021 and 2022, being another jump into the bouncy & rounded sounds characterizing Joao’s sonic creatures.
The first “039” track immediately focusses your attention to the purest mind-opening modular structures that Joao engineers within his custom-built modular set.
“BRZ” is a pleasant trippy-IDM track that opportunistically drives you to
“MB”, the straight-to-the-dancefloor closing track that leaves you with the incommensurate desire to see and dance Joao Cesar modular-live performances as soon as possible!
“There is no need to travel an infinite long distance to find beauty and peace, and that's why I’m grateful for living here, in Brianza, in my district (039), near the chief town Monza (MB)”
