Gustavo Vieira
Instrumental music, composed and performed on keyboard by Gustavo Vieira.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started out on keyboard at the age of 10, where learned to play in a private school. In 1996, joined a black/ death metal band The Firstborn as a keyboard player and started to compose some instrumental intros for the same band as for others like Nargothrond, Sword of Akhron and Antiquus Scriptum. Since then, i have been composing some music that never went out. Willing to give them a destiny, i recorded 8 tracks resulting in my first home-made demo-cd “Sons dos Tempos” (Sounds of Times), performed on a Yamaha PSR-320 keyboard. Having recently acquired a Roland XP-80 Workstation synthesizer, i composed 9 tracks that made my second demo-cd called “O Errante” (The Wanderer), a soundtrack that illustrates a story happening in the medieval age. Recently done is my third demo-cd called “Mistérios Celestiais” (Celestial Mysteries) where other influences and sounds are explored.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
No, i don't play live. I only compose music at home.
Your musical influences
New age, film scores.
