About ISOHG Style

I always wanted to develop an authorial work that had a good level of emotional content and, at the same time, an original esthetic. Not an easy task these days, where almost everything seems to be just a copy of what has been done before.

The first thing I did when we started this work was to let go of the obligation to create something new. I just allowed to flow what came into my mind. That way, I wouldn't be connected to any concept that could've headed the work to this or that path, and I felt free to compose without preconcepts.

Giving wings to imagination that the songs of these two albums came out. It's a mixture of all musical, literary, personal, spiritual, and even transcendental influences, which I had the pleasure or displeasure of going through my life so far.

I believe that, the combination of all these sources composing these songs, along with the impeccable good taste, capacity and technical skills of my partners; Tony Gibson on recording, arranging and producing; and Júlio Tavares on the drums, we managed to produce an original work, with its own unique style.

With no concerns for labels, the songs on these two albums travel very naturally from Pop music to Progressive Rock, passing through Hard Rock, Rhythm & Blues, Country Music, etc., and the lyrics are reflections of the feelings that involve, move, and also make us happy, inspired and take us ahead each and everyday.”
