  • Bio

    Zozimo and Adrianne joined forces for the first time in the creation of Orquestra Profana (1991-1995), an ensemble dedicated to the reinterpretation of classical music scores using electric guitars and synthesizers. The young musicians delighted themselves in studying Vivaldi's The Four Seasons violin concertos where birds, creeks, flies, hunters, winds, rain, thunders and snow take life in musical sounds. Soon A & Z discovered they had a mutual interest in the exact sciences, specially Astronomy. So wouldn't it be a great idea to make use of this theme expanding Vivaldi's concept of instrumental descriptive music to the contemporary styles of Progressive Rock and New Age music? **************** It's not unusual to hear that the scientific point of view "sterilizes" or "unromanticizes" what it focuses. No matter how, it works and gives us access to wonderful advances in countless aspects of our welfare. Regarding this, suffice to acknowledge the evolution of an observation of a mere shining point at the sky by the naked eye (which also has a very special appeal in its own simple nature) into a hi-resolution digital image of a planet only possible through the joint effort of generations dedicated to techno-scientific understanding. Aeons past, when primitive men sat around the fire, looked at the night sky and imagined the stars as others celestial fires, they certainly created art related to that. Nowadays, we contemplate the sky with knowledge of the life of the stars, that their light may be the support for civilizations in planetary systems and their collapse may affect catastrophically an entire region of the galaxy. It shouldn't be considered nonsense the fact that this new manner of seeing the skies might also generate a subjective manifestation. Thus, the "coldness" inherent to science does not create necessarily an obstacle to the artistic interpretation of its fruits and a creative mind will always discover new ways with dramatic potential yet to be explored. The study of the universe, its development, its beginning, its end will always have a strong call and the arts inspired by this theme will find people that appreciate them. **************** Zozimo Rech and Adrianne Simioni ****************
