Felipe Salles - Camera Obscura (Limited Edition Vinyl) (LP)

Felipe Salles blends jazz and chamber music to tell a story that will take you on a ride of different perspectives and images through his music. Camera Obscura was the first rudimentary camera. Camera Obscura means 'dark chamber'. I use this as wordplay referring to my choice of classical chamber music instruments, as well as my approach to composition, which plays with imagery, color, light, and darkness.The overarching theme in this project is perspective, imagined in different musical ways and from different angles. There is perspective in the way a picture is taken, or a drawing is made. A soundtrack helps shape the story in film or theater by choosing to express or suppress emotions. A story is told as a memory -- or the lack of one -- from one or more individual points of view, which can create or change perspective. I have always been drawn to the imagery and storytelling in music. Just like a photographer plays with exposure, colors, sharpness, or even how a picture is cropped,
