Unus Mundus by Pedra Branca
Produced by Luciano Sallun from São Paulo, Brazil, it is not surprising to use forms of technology and virtual productions, where since the first albums the union between technology and multimedia art has been explored. This album in a complete way, was worked on in a virtual way. The recordings were made with each musician in his home studio. Music production can unite, as in this case, composition, arrangements, editions and creations with technology in an integrated way, where we can also expand the idea that technology can offer for moments like Pandemic. Luciano Sallun produced the tracks by integrating a network of artists from different locations.
With this, the project has countless participations that cover different Mundus.
