The English band The Nine was about to be released in Brazil through a partnership between Abril Music and Aphex Music in 1999, the only synthpop label created in the country, but unfortunately due to internal problems it no longer exists.

At the end of 1998, I got a job at IRB, the Instituto Brasileiro de Resseguros (Brazilian Reinsurance Institute), a Brazilian monopoly that still is the largest Reinsurance company in Latin America and one of the largest in the world, and when I was hired, I didn’t even know it existed or what Reinsurance was. …
This was my final project when I graduated in Data Processing Technology (P15) at PUC-RIO University. I made the first ever made Soccer Manager game with 3D animations in Delphi 3, which had also my own music and sound effects, but 3D animations and the logo were made by some friends. It was made entirely …
In September 1997, a friend invited me to work at Openlink, which at the time was the Internet reference in Brazil, and had the largest Internet link in Brazil, with just 1MB direct to Global One.

The original game had 4 full English divisions plus all the European championships with teams from all over Europe, …
In 1996, my friend Alexandre Ferro invited me to add an electronic touch to the performance of the band Colcheias Confusas. The band was formed by Érico Barbeitos (Vocals and Guitar), Alexandre Ferro (Lead Guitar), Márcio Loureiro (Bass) and Rodrigo Lopes (Drums). That was when I lost my “virginity”, on stage, of course. The song …
In 1995, I created my first webpage. It had everything I liked and did, from games to music, and there was an area where I dedicated a page to my main influences in music, and one of them was Capital Inicial. When I started the page, they had already lost their keyboardist Bozzo Barretti, vocalist …
My friend Great Guy (Raphael Alves) made a song called “Don’t Repress Me” on XM that I thought I could improve it considerably. I made my version and I thought it was much better than I had imagined. So I recorded it on a floppy disk and took it to college the next day for …
