Will I...
Will I, will I escape?
Should I, should I pray?
The Story
All It Was and All It Could Have Been
This album is a reflection on memory, possibility, and time.
These songs were born in 1998, in Braga — written and recorded by young musicians learning as they went, with little experience in music or in the studio, and with none of the tools available today. What remains is raw, honest, and unmistakably of its moment.
This release asks a simple question: what might these songs have become, if they had been recorded now — with the knowledge, the technology, and the distance of years?
The original recordings were made in Braga in two takes: one for the instruments, one for the voices.
All it was. All it could have been.
Pray stands apart from the rest. It was recorded at Paulo Morais's house, sequenced in Fruity Loops. Paulo played guitar and handled the programming on a Yamaha RGX300; Lourenço played bass on the Yamaha RBX 300.
The remaining tracks on this album were produced with Suno, based on new recordings made by Lourenço. He recreated each song to serve as input for the process — rough takes, made without the quality or production needed for release, and kept unpublished. What you hear here is Suno's production of those recordings — a bridge between what was and what might have been.
