Album Notes

Having written, performed, recorded and produced all 11 tracks, Mario Vaz De Mello delivers with his 2005 release, INEVITABLE, an album that is neither a follow up nor a departure from his debut effort. Electronic/instrumental music aficionados were aware of the artist's uniquely personal approach to the genres in 2001 when the Latin musician released his debut CD, BAMBOO SHADOWS. Presenting contemporary tracks with a distinctly Brazilian sensibility, the musician/producer mixes pop, classical, and techno music influences in a ground breaking style.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Vaz De Mello was in his late teens when he began writing original music for theater, dance, television and film. Since his 1995 move to downtown Manhattan, Vaz De Mello's involvement with the music community in America was a natural step and to date Vaz De Mello has created more than sixty original soundtracks for international stage and screen productions; his music is being continuously performed in Europe, Latin America and The United States. With the release of INEVITABLE, Vaz De Mello reaffirms his status as one of electronica's most innovative and thrilling talents.

"Somewhere in the zone between ambient, world music, and prog new age, De Mello's tasty, low-key production is full of atmospheric moments and haunting unresolved chord progressions."
