I'M BURTON FITZSIMMONS WITH A T X N.
WE WANNA THANK OUR PARTNERS, THE AUSTIN PUBLIC LIBRARY, AND ALSO THE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT DIVISION OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HERE IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN.
WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL VIEW TODAY AND WE ARE SO HAPPY TO BE HERE IN ONE OF AUSTIN'S HIDDEN GYMS. WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE A NICE AUDIENCE HERE.
WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU'RE JOINING US FROM HOME AND VIA@XN.TV ONLINE.
SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET'S GET TO IT.
WE'VE GOT A GUITARIST, COMPOSER, ARRANGER, AND EDUCATOR.
PLEASE WELCOME MARCO ANTONIO SANTOS.
[00:07:23]
THANK YOU EVERYBODY.IT'S SUCH A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
IT'S SUCH AN HONOR FOR US TO BE HERE PLAYING THIS MUSIC.
UH, I WANT YOU ALREADY INTRODUCE EVERYBODY HERE ON STAGE FOR YOU ALL.
SO HERE IN FRONT OF US BEING AMAZING AS SHE IS.
SHE, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE OF US THAT CAN GO TO THE FLOOR AND COME BACK.
THERE'S A GUY THAT KNOWS HOW TO MATCH HIS DRESS WITH THE, THE DRUMS. HE'S AMAZING.
AND ON BASE I HAVE CHRIS JONES.
SO WE ARE PRETTY MUCH GONNA BE PLAYING MUSIC FROM AN ALBUM THAT I, UH, I RELEASED THIS YEAR ON MAY.
THE NAME OF THIS ALBUM IS ABOUT SILENCE AND WHICH IS ABOUT SILENCE.
SO IT'S, IT'S THEMATIC AND IT HAS LIKE DIFFERENT IDEAS OF SILENCE, DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHICAL BIO IDEAS OF SILENCE.
AND ALSO SOME SONGS THAT HAVE BEEN WRITING RECENTLY IN THE LAST TWO, THREE MONTHS, WHICH IS ABOUT IMMIGRANTS SINCE I'M ONE OF THEM.
I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE BECAUSE MY ACCENT'S PERFECT, BUT IT'S ABOUT IMMIGRANTS.
IT'S ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN WRITING RIGHT NOW TO RECORD.
EVENTUALLY IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS, I RECORDED ANOTHER ALBUM, SO SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN.
THE FIRST ONE THAT WE PLAYED IS THE TALE OF THE MAN WHO WAS A CHAIR.
SINCE I DON'T NEED TO SING THOSE SONG TITLES, I CAN'T PUT LONG NAMES.
AND THE NEXT ONE WE'RE PLAYING IS EYES OFF.
THIS IS FROM THE ALBUM I JUST SAID FROM ABOUT SINUS.
[00:16:21]
THANK[00:16:21]
YOU VERY MUCH.SO THIS ONE WAS EYES OFF US BOTH PART TWO.
I WAS TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE MEANINGS OF SILENCE.
THIS ONE, IT'S WHEN YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH SOMEONE AND THEN YOU CAN BE IN SILENCE AND THIS IS NOT UNCOMFORTABLE, SO THAT THIS KIND OF SILENCE, THE SILENCE OF BEING COMFORTABLE WITH SOMEONE.
THE NEXT ONE IS EXPLAIN AGAINST ONE OF THE NEW THAT I, FRESH, NEW THAT I JUST WROTE.
WE'LL HAVE SOMEONE BACK HERE ON STAGE.
[00:23:02]
THANK YOU.LIKE THEY SAY HALF OF THE LIFE OF THE GUITAR PLAY IS TUNING THE GUITAR, THE OTHER HALF'S PLAYING OUT OF TUNE.
THIS NEXT ONE, UH, IS ALSO FROM THE ALBUM.
I PUT TOGETHER THIS, I RELEASED THIS MAY, WHICH CHRIS IS PLAYING ON THIS ALBUM TOO.
UH, THE NAME OF THIS NEXT ONE IS BREATHTAKER.
SO THIS IS ALSO ABOUT ONE KIND OF SILENCE.
SO THIS THE SSS C LIKE THE VERB SILENCING, UH, EFFECT OF THE OPPRESSION DOES TO THE OPPRESSED.
SO I WROTE THIS AFTER, UH, GEORGE FLOYD'S AND THEN ALSO IN BRAZIL WHERE I COME FROM.
WE HAD LIKE MARIAI FRAN, WHO'S LIKE A ACTIVIST THAT WAS ALSO MURDERED BY OPPRESSIVE FORCES.
SO THIS MUSIC'S A LITTLE BIT HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS.
[00:43:07]
YES.[00:43:09]
COME[00:43:09]
HERE.[00:43:09]
S SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME.THIS IS THE FIRST SHOW WE DO TOGETHER.
SUCH A PLEASURE HAVE YOU HERE.
IT'S ALSO FROM THE ALBUM ABOUT SILENCE THAT I RELEASED.
THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF, BUT NOT GRIEF ABOUT SOMEONE THAT PASSES AWAY.
IT'S ABOUT WHEN YOU GET OLDER AND YOU LOOK TO YOUR PAST SELF AND THEN YOU FEEL THAT SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO BURY SOME PARTS OF YOURSELF AND ALONG WITH THE WAY OF GROWING UP.
SO THIS IS A KIND OF A GRIEF OF YOURSELF, THIS KIND OF STUFF.
UH, THIS NEXT ONE IS ALSO ONE OF THE NEW ONES I'VE BEEN WRITING.
UH, AND THE NAME IS KIND OF CURIOUS BECAUSE I'M FROM BRAZIL AND THE NAME OF THIS NEXT ONE IS, I'M MUCH, MUCH COOLER IN PORTUGUESE.
