Residing in Rio de Janeiro, Vasconcelos Sentimento is a self-taught composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. A mosaic of lo-fi breaks, cosmic ambient jazz and wonky chromatic funk, the eccentric Brazilian DIY wizard\u2019s debut album Furto beautifully pieces together a huge range of seemingly disparate sonic elements. Calling himself an \u201camateur euphoric sound researcher\u201d, he has no formal training in either music theory or production, and it\u2019s simply by following his ear that has led him to creating his debut album for Far Out Recordings.<\/p>\n
Sentimento is not afraid to admit what he himself sees as acts of theft. (Furto=Theft in Portuguese). But while the debate surrounding the ethics of sampling is a never ending one, Sentimento\u2019s music – while it does contain the odd sample, including an interview with Joe Davis himself, \u201cOne For The Masta Digga\u201d) – steals in an entirely different way. His creative process involves an intensive period, in which he\u2019ll listen to just one artist or song over and over, for days and weeks on end. Then he\u2019ll head to his rudimentary bedroom studio, which, as he puts it, is \u201cbuilt for speed\u201d, hit record and \u201cblurt\u201d whatever comes out. \u201cI never spend more than a day working on any one song idea\u201d…<\/p>\n
Picasso once said \u201clesser artists borrow; great artists steal\u201d. And it\u2019s through this process of \u2018Furto\u2019 that Vasconcelos Sentimento has somewhat ironically cultivated a sound that is unmistakably his own.<\/p>\n
