Black Barn Music (or just BBM) was born in 2003 in the countryside of Sao Paulo, Brazil. It consists of Andre Z. Pagnossim, a bedroom, a microphone, some instruments, a 4-track cassette recorder and a computer. BBM takes traditional country and folk songs from the past and adds up elements of electronica and ambient music, among others. All wrapped up in lo-fi plastic bags.
Finally, after four years and one EP, Black Barn Music releases its first full-length album, titled "Carnival Nights". It was entirely recorded at Black Barn Studio (actually, Andre..s bedroom), using a bunch of instruments, synths and old movies samples. Different from earlier works (which was more like "singer/songwriter" folk stuff), some new songs are instrumental and blends the sound of acoustic guitar with loops and dream-like synths.
Now avaliable for free download: "Carnival Nights" (full-lenght album) at last.fm. Go get it!
