About Me

The Carousel Painter is a solo guitar-based ambient project that might lean towards electronia, noise or post-rock. Please feel free to listen to the tunes and leave a comment. Enjoy your stay.
The pieces available here currently are:
Suspended Corner (06.12.05)
The Arrival (04.12.05)
Epsom (available on the DVD dislocations. music for a picture )
Please note that all of these tracks are not yet final and need some polishing touches.
Other tunes, or their full versions, might or might not be available here .
Here is a video by the great Brazilian composer and filmmaker Leo Alves Vieira which uses the piece Everyone Has Their Own Iguana. Please visit his myspaces here , here , here , and here , as well as his zebox site, and his Tramavirtual site.
The YouTube direct link is here in case the above embedded link doesn't work or if you want to comment on the video.
If I add you as a friend, it will be for one of the three reasons: Either I know you from somewhere (internet, or the dreaded "real life"), I like your music/artwork, etc, or we seem to have similar interests or influences
