Bem Ali Sessions

A cycle of five music videos from local Palmas bands, recorded and mixed as part of the Festival Bem Ali 2021. I worked as sound engineer and producer across the cycle — handling recording sessions, the post-production audio, and the live festival days that framed the project.

The format was deliberately compact: each band got a tight run of studio time, a single set of stems, and a finished video that could circulate in the local scene immediately after the festival. The goal was to make the bands’ work visible at the speed the scene actually moves, not at the speed a label release would.

This is part of the Árvore Seca era for me — the same two-year stretch that produced Som na Árvore, Seletiva Bem Ali, and the wider festival circuit in Palmas.

Watch the showcase episode — Wizened Tree (Worm Voodoo) — above. The other published parts of the cycle are Raia and Em Agosto Chove.
