} editorial CICLE AND ENCICLE / LET'S ALL ENCICLE / The story of #MonteiroLobato blurred the makeup of the painter #AnittaMalfati because the clouds that she had seen in the early 20's of the 20th century were not, after all, flowns over the coffee farms. In fact, they were. But his tales littered his beard and those were too seductive, so transgressive, and the author's criticism was aggressive.

LET'S GIVE HALF TURN / TURN-AND-HALF WE WILL GIVE Lobato took this secret to his grave: if he reacted against Modernism to asphyxiate it or cus he knew the environment, he took on the role of opponent to protect the lady from what himself disguised the society with his fantasies.

THE RING THAT YOU GIVEN ME / WAS GLASS AND BROKEN / Our history came around the World changing thinks. Our folklore in imagination suddenly became flesh, bone, skin, hair, teeth, and Brazil was naked. The relief is that neither in this, nor in other plans that seemed more seen than proposed we are alone.

AND YOUR LOVE FOR ME / WAS LITTLE AND ENDED […]

The early transposition left us lacking in the perception of whether the song mentioned in this editorial is free for people under 18 or not, as it would require classification in all cultural production that emerged decades later…

I

n 1993, Sienkiewicz caused a stir in Rio de Janeiro when he arrived to participate in the #IIBienalInternacionaldeQuadrinhos.

He had as a badge the authorship of the drawings of '#Elektra, Assassin', an

obscure and secondary character of the casting of the powerful @MarvelComics that integrated the scripts of another protagonist from the 2nd line ─ or even 3rd ─, called '#Daredevil', but who, at that time, had already reached the top of the publisher's priorities thanks to recent successful works like the Bill's job. Success, I'm highlightning, with the real meaning of the term: after only two consecutive graphic novels signed by the renowed @FrankMiller too, the designer was directly responsible for the sales of thousands of copies of that book series, distributed inside and outside the USA, and that turned Daredevil and his red and gourgeous antiheroine in pop comic icons since the 90's til today.

Just like a other contemporary comics phenomena #Batman and #Xmen its both would arrive at the cine, however on the big screen its didn't obtain the same financial return or public feedback and were retreated to the printed productions. Too late. Anyone who thought that comics were magazines with stick figures and stories for a certain age group started to have a problem with your consumption of titles released in face of what was considered reading recommended among the best sellers available on newsstands [like '#Sandman', '# SecretWars' and '#Watchmen']. The works of @BillSienkiewicz and his colleagues were part of an aesthetic movement that revolutionized not only the publishing market but also all cultural production, especially audiovisual, becoming equally essential.

Comics have long been climbing the ranks of readers' preferences, although, without demerit for designers, a good portion of this interest

was due more to screenwriters and the diversity of stories that emerged up to the early 90's than to endings considered too childish or fantastic by non-connoisseurs. That's when Bill came in and changed everything. Using mixed techniques with the use of acrylic paint, oil, ink, pencil, watercolor, ballpoint, wax, collages and digital coloring, instead of drowning out precursors like @StanLee and @JackKirb, the artist requested for the comic books a potentially still status more graduated than the visual arts, placing them among the works of galleries, literature and movies.

The result of his care is amazing. At the beginning of the last decade of the past millennium, Sienkiewicz already had an immense portfolio that included magazines, sketch books, luxury editions, cards, posters and advertising, carried out for countless companies or in partnership with several recognized and alternative names. But if from then on you stopped following your trajectory individually, suffice it to say that he increased the pace.

THE FAMOUS ILLUSTRATION OF THE 1ST. COVER 'ELEKTRA, ASSASIN' AND PLATES FROM THE SAME GRAPHIC NOVEL AND FROM ITS ANTI-HERO DAREDEVIL. BEFORE, A BRUTAL SEQUENCE FROM THE AUTHORAL 'STRAY TOASTERS' IMAGES: REPRODUTION

VENOM BY THE TRACES OF BILL, ONE OF THE SEVERAL CHARACTERS THAT TAKEN TO THE CINE. NEXT TO, MORE CINEMATOGRAPHIC INTERVENTIONS IMAGES: REPRODUTION

For now, in add to actingas a cinematographic creative, he publicize his books of #MoonKnight and #NewMutants [which is coming in the movie circuit], after trying prevail with the independent and authorial '#StrayToasters'. This passed through almost all popularly known superheroes, when he helped to reconstruct the characters with pages fully with simultaneously more human, mind-boggling and disturbing tones, which came to appear in the screens [#Wolverine, Batman, #Hulk, #Superman, #WonderWoman, #SpiderMan, #Venom, #Conan and #TheFantastic4]; to draw titles such as #TheWalkingDead, #FightClub and #TwilightZone; and art covers or promos as #Halloween and the game #ResidentEvil.

The Bill's fame is that each of his comics is a canvas. Every square of a comic book page, I say.

And it doesn't matter how famous the writer or the character is. One of its secrets extrapolates the technical or stylistic question, aligned as being 'expressionist': Sienkiewicz's storyboards overflow emotions and sensations, of physical and sensory orders, which allows him to practice diving in each new object of study and interpret it so convincingly and refreshingly, even when non-fictional, as is the case with the book about @JimiHendrix. In 2018, he released him version of the classic '#TheIslandofDoctorMoreau', illustrated by him.

The gap between Bill's before and after in the comics is stark. Fated to moral caricatures in the late 80's, the superheroes had predictable and repetitive tics, such as slogans and catch phrases, inside scenarios more near of the ancient Disneyworld than the reality, with the abuse of onomatopoeia, flashy uniforms and mostly sculptural poses. They were like fairy tales modern.

DESPITE YOUR FRENETIC RHYTHM, BILL STILL INVOLVES IN PREMENTALLY LESS COMMERCIAL PROJECTS, LIKE 'PARISIAN WHITE'.

NEXT, A SHOW OF EXTRA-WORKS WITH ICONS AS THE ESSAY WITH SUPERMAN AND THE JIMI HENDRIX'S BOOK IMAGES: PROMO

They became so distant from our everyday life and adult concerns that the public simply relegated the gender to children. One of the reasons for the turnaround was the recreation of the character #Logan, 'aka' #Wolverine: if even his usual cigar had been avoided to meet the publisher's growing politically-correct rigidity, under the traces of Sienkiewicz the Canadian in yellow clothing with sky-blue details forged in the laboratory to be part of the X-Men group gained an animalistic air, gloomy and extreme,

EVEN WHEN HE RETURN TO THE MOST TRADITIONAL COMICS, HIS DRAWINGS INNOVATE, AS IN THIS ART COVER TO THE MOON KNIGHT. IN THE LEFT SIDE, YOUR PERSONALIZED STAND IMAGES: PROMO

closer to horror movies than #Thundercats tele animation, more and more bizarre claws and, above all, a tormented and sometimes desperate personality due to the battle within him between his wild side and his rational side.

And blood. A lot of blood. Not only, but basically this is the most polar distinction between the artistic expressions. The bloodiest, most visceral, latent or as we wish to refer to reports are epistemologically opposed to the most playful, lyrical, abstract and idealistic.

The mixture of the elements of these two extremes is what generates plurality in Art. There are those who dedicate themselves more to one side than the other and descend to aesthetic radicalism, which is what we saw happening in the aforementioned comics when they suffered a fleeting crossing through such borders. A consequence of an imbalance that was only detected so late because the post-World wars were already farther on the calendar when it was possible to look again at the individual aspects.

“I WOULD SPEND A YEAR AWAKE AND ONCE AGAIN JUST TO FORGET THAT ONE MORE NIGHT FROM HELL WHEN I WAS WRITING FOR YOU (...)

(…) A SONG STRANGE AND SUBTLE THAT NO ONE UNDERSTANDED. NEITHER YOU; NEITHER ME (…)”

EXTRACT OF THE LYRICS OF 'BEM OU MAL', ONE OF TRACKS FROM THE 1ST EP 'VÃO'

by m.i.k.a.

O

ne of the experiences that is acquired into the studios comes from the exchange of songs between the people. Introduce or

being introduced to some artists or album hitherto unknown, as in adolescence, is a part of the life of those who think more about music than others activities that another persons is considering more essentials.

Among so many who have joined my favorite's list is @AndréPrando. In 2014, when he drew his 1st rec titled 'Vão', this musician from Espírito Santo attracted enough of our attention to your track 'Bem ou Mal' to keep it as one of the singles from that year. Because it wasn't new being original. You can point out Brazilian references with a precision that only your own personality in composition and interpretation made it deviate: the beginnings of @Blitz, @KikoZambianchi, @RaulSeixas, @CaetanoVeloso, something about @LosHermanos…

it's forgeting the speculation about if exist grunge out of Seattle. Yes, there is more than it, like the screeching song 'O Verme Ama', but what elevates Prando to the possibility of MPB's survival has a resilient component that has been proven in your consecutive albums ─ 'Estranho Sutil' [2015], and 'Voador' [2018]: his poetry.

In fact, before lyricism, one caveat: the songs as a whole are worth the trips. Raw but not rough; numb without stupidity. Prando takes on vocals, guitars, with a whimsical minimal drums and a bass dial in the background, arranged like the old school as @ManuChao despite the blues. But between us, there are a lot of artists doing it well done today. What makes him a different writter is his cool environment is not only packing great lyrics but translating it, which makes a constant marriage in and between each track.

Curiously, a great part of what is thinked out about the Brazilian music is missing in your three releases. That marginal, shameless and tasteful verve, with elaborate verses that are pleasing to academics but that everyone understands, sounding less 'woo-hoos' without tending to low mood, and with good slang verses to repete in the bar for your friends‌ AndrÊ is a good explainer in each theme, and around the middle of the auditions you'll can begin to understand his private Universe. He's not a fragmented guy. In 'Estranho Sutil' he got his business card and then allowed himself to be more influenced by @ClubedaEsquina, @14Bis and @MiltonNascimento, in short, that crowd, and inviting several musicians from the underground resulting in 'Voador', but the story continued. @sutil took advantage of the musician's visit to Rio to interview him and also suggest that it be heard disc by disc. If you reader doesn't like it, that's fine. There are other Brazil out there.

} sutil Talking phonographically, you have been on the road since 2014. Was this really the beginning of your career? } André Prando Not exactly. 2014 was the year when I released my 1st EP, 'Vão'. But my first band was active in 2007, the @HiSky, a J-Rock band in which I played guitar and some backin vocals. Before that, since the beginning of my youth, I already composed compulsively, understanding myself, exercising. Since 2009 to 2013 I had another group, @MendigosCientistas, and in that period I had a lot of contacts with stages and it was essential for me til 2011 to start my solo work as 'André Prando', participating in music festivals, doing solo concerts and to publish my songs on the Internet [mainly @Soundcloud and @Youtube]. } sutil 'Vão' is an EP that contains 4 songs.

How much was the final result of this work your fuel to being following your journey? } André Prando When I released 'Vão' (2014), I already had a biggest part of 'Estranho

Sutil'(2015) track-list in mind and played it in some dates, so I launched already imagining continuity, including narrative. It was a time of experimentation, I was beginning to discover my own sonority and, in fact, the possibility of several sonorities in the same work.

Realizing the acceptance and relevance of 'VĂŁo' at the time, certainly, was the gas to continue my work. } sutil Currently, so many artists are able to compose, record their albums, create your visual identity and produce proposals such as videos, for example, but this emphasizes even more when someone with high-quality appears among many others. Even if you are not exactly famous, you are quite consistent in your forays. How do you analyze yourself in a musical panorama as short historically but as plural as that from Brazil? } AndrĂŠ Prando I perceive myself to be relevant and on the rise, this does not mean small or great, but walking my own path, forward and

respected by those who allow themselves to know my job. I'm always striving to have my space and offering the best I can, within my limited conditions. And I am very grateful for this response face the audience that identifies so intensely with my music. It is exciting to know and see that art transforms. } sutil For us its looking like 'Estranho Sutil' is sounding more sea, and 'Voador', your last album, more thru fresh rivers. Do you agree it? Was there any similar intention in this regard on this most recent album? } AndrÊ Prando I think that, in a way, 'sweet' is something very evident into the universe of 'Voador' ─ if you know what I mean‌ I consider 'Estranho Sutil' to be more sonically and introspective pop; while I consider it more plural, fried and experimental, with themes that reflect our time, our past, our utopias, the chaos we're living today and the dream of understanding all this around us a few better, with more sober, flying look.

} sutil Avoiding the commonplace, you emerge from a state little unknown culturally in our country by those who are not natural or don't frequent there. Doesn't this also position you as a representant of Espírito Santo's music? } André Prando Many say yes and that thrills me, but I don't go around stating that. The fact is that many people end up getting to know other facets from Espírito Santo through me, because I can have place in different corners of the country, so there is a prismatic effect.

I think it's crazy, for example, when someone say that knew @SérgioSampaio through me, or that they came to me through Sérgio Sampaio. It is an honor. When wandering around, people ask me a lot about what Espírito Santo is like, they ask about other artists, and I always speak proudly of jewels, like Sérgio Sampaio, @Silva, @Transe, @JulianoGauche, @Fepaschoal, @Budah, @Casaca, @GabrielaBrown, @MyMagicalGlowingLens, @Manimal… so many… 'ES' is very bright and I love the bias that we are just a unusual place of the whole thing.

} sutil You are in tune about what is currently produced in national music? 'Voador' featured numerous special guest appearances… } André Prando Yes! So much! The Brazilian music is very, very rich and plural! Just the opposite of what prejudiced people like to say.

And I stay tuned! I consider myself a scene stalker… hahaha! I mean, I’m always on top of launches and general careers. Really, 'Voador' reflects a few theese in so many special guest appearances. It was a crowd that I got to know and connect with on the road, on the Internet, at festivals. There are participations from different places in our country, like @Tostoi [who besides having signed the musical production together with @HenriquePaoli and played a lot on the album], @GabrielVentura [@Ventre, @Posada], @DudaBrack, @LucasEstrela, @LuizGabrielLopes, @MárioWamser, @Puppi… } sutil Here, we have been considering the directions of Brazilian popular art, having as its horizon the centennial of #BrazilianModernArtWeek, to mark in 2022. What

do you have to say about our transition between the orbit of the supporters of the writer and critic #MonteiroLobato and that of the modernists, which characterizes not only our culture but has influenced almost the whole world? } AndrĂŠ Prando I hope that whatever happens to be the events that make up the centennial celebration will show the reflexes of this movement today. Who makes up today's avantgarde scenario? Or, what are the guidelines?

Currently, what would be transgression? If the current president is still in office in 2022, the actual completion of the tribute will already be a transgression, considering the many forms of oppression that #Bolsonaro represents. I think of this worrying bias, but at the same time confident in what the answer would be, since contemporary art is representative, it is a break of paradigms. } sutil How is the concert schedule here? I readed about you have a date to play in Rio de

Janeiro city in next middle of March, maybe in @AudioRebel… } André Prando I decided to work more in 2020!

Tripping with my band, costumes, scenery, album, staff, the way that we like and are proposing. It isn't so easy and not at all cheap! It usually becomes viable when emerge some public event from a city or state ─ as an @Sesc, a public prod, a medium or big festival that advance a fee making it all possible, etc.

So, even though happens I haven't so many opportunities to show the entire concert, but I have been invited to a lot of acoustic concerts! This is a format that my audience likes a lot too ─ even because the root of my music is folk, poetic etc. So I've been traveling by myself, me, my guitar, my merchanding bag and that's it. I was contemplated by an invitation from @Sesi that guaranteed me a sequence of concerts at Paulista Avenue, so I have been going a lot to #SãoPaulo. I have used this bridge to circulate in other cities as well. Until June there is a

lot of dates and even one in Palmas, Tocantins!

I'm very happy and I'm eager to know that part of Brazil too. It's great to see that my audience grows organically and I'm relevant.
