Chão de Flutuar

Piano and voice is one of the oldest formats in popular music — and one of the most exposed. With no drums and no bass, every choice shows. For Salomão, that is exactly where the interest lies: "this format brings an enormous challenge, which is exploring the infinite possibilities that piano and voice can offer."

The duo's first album with Vanessa Moreno, Chão de Flutuar looks for those limits on both sides: the voice used as body and percussion too, and the piano explored through timbre and attack, beyond melody and accompaniment.

The repertoire spans Milton Nascimento, Djavan, Egberto Gismonti, Guinga, Dominguinhos, Edu Lobo and Geraldo Vandré, and leaves room open for improvisation between the two — "ideas always end up coming out that probably wouldn't appear when we're at home, thinking about how to explore this format."
