A composer from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil. You can know everything about him at http://www.alexsaba.comBand/artist history
After desbanding my old band (HORA DO RUSH) an instrumental quartet, I search for other ways to play my music. The PC are on the early days and I bought a Voyetra board and start composing. 1996 was the year of my first solo album (ANGEL'S DREAM). With the years I change the main focus to orchestral works (in the first album there were a feel tracks like this).
The second album will be now presented by an actual orchestra. This is a great diference from the old band.
The third album (I'm composing it now) will follow the same path with the focus at The Rings' from The british writer Tolkien.
Another on? Yes!! My fourth album is already. It is the sound track from a play written by a brazillian friend and played around the country last year. I'm adapting two of the tracks to CD, but is everythink ready.Have you performed in front of an audience?My second album will soon be played by the "Petit Brancaleone Orkestra" a symphonic orchestra from Rio.

Oi Alex
Escutei tuas músicas hoje e achei muito interessante. Sou guitarrista, tenho banda, mais gosto mesmo é de fazer as minhas próprias músicas instrumentais, tocando todos os instrumentos. Tem algumas no soundclick, se quizer conferir...
