Vianna Auá

Song:

He began his studies in late childhood, on the popular guitar. And although his musical taste already made his studies difficult, where even a second teacher pointed out that he would have no future in music, due to the refusal to study certain songs. His artistic thinking came from pre-adolescence, when studying keyboard, he got tired of his daily lessons and started an improvisation without moorings and without rules. To which he sometimes recorded on a tape recorder or even in areas of short recordings on the keyboard and that lasted only as long as it remained on. What would be a basis for his thinking in the future as a musician, composer. A few years later, he began his studies at a music conservatory in Guaratinguetá, where he studied for approximately one year; classical guitar, recorder, and piano for an even shorter period due to the change and lack of teachers for this instrument. Soon after, he left for the music college, where although he had passed the entrance exam for classical guitar, he changed his enrollment to electric guitar. Getting to know the erudite art there, more deeply, as well as the program popular of electric guitar , a new instrument so far, and only adapting, for example, to the pick in the second year. In addition, he had private lessons in the history of opera with a college professor. After graduating, he started composition classes with two classical music composers: Osvaldo Lacerda and then Flo Menezes. Before that, he still got in touch with a third composer, but decided not to start classes with this one. He didn't have the money or resources to keep classes with the first two, each one in his own time, and also already demonstrating his own style. Both classes for a short time. His style was developed soon after and titled: Occasional Art. Style registered in the Brazilian National Library. A curiosity: he is distantly related to an erudite composer of the modern period; Fructuoso Vianna. Although this does not represent, in any sense, so much ease, as the opening of doors in his career or the help of the paternal family, originating from this one.

Writing:

Although her paternal grandmother was also a writer: short stories for a newspaper in her town. He didn't hear any encouragement from her, and he started in the art of writing in his teens. Where a friend, for no apparent reason. Encouraged him to produce a text. And praised him for the quality. And although he liked to produce essays. Started writing song lyrics. Style that usually doesn't apply at the moment. After college and at a bad time in life, he started writing some poetry on a small notebook. Not yet published, and not yet publicized, both to publishers and the general public. He produced texts: plots, plays, poetry, short stories... A novel was presented to a Portuguese publisher, where it was accepted and published. At the moment a play is under negotiation with an editorial group of Portuguese origin as well. A reference in the erudite field is the composer Wagner who, in addition to producing the music for his work, produced the texts. What drew your attention at the time of study to the world of possibilities. So much for great artists who were polymaths. Like Da Vinci and Michelangelo.

Visual arts:
From childhood he showed an aptitude for drawing, like several people from his maternal family and from his paternal, his grandmother – who tried an incentive in his adult life. But he didn't really like his school art assignments, but his aunts helped him with these. The moment that awakened him to the drawing was when a cousin praised a drawing of his creation, during one of the few vacations they spent together, also in late childhood. Then in adolescence, as his classes at school didn't prove to be a challenge. He began to dream of creating a band and designing tribals in his own unique ways. A while later he composed two small watercolors on A4 sheets. But he has not yet entered the visual universe head on, although he has always drawn these tribals that evolve forms. Already in adulthood, as a result of the first psychiatric hospitalization. Where he painted on dish towels with molds - which were sold by the clinic. And he saw another patient painting a picture of flowers. He asked if he could paint a picture too, which came the negative answer after they evaluating a drawing. This greater desire to paint a picture was nourished. Which at another time he did, starting his visual career. In fact, one of the reasons for entering this clinic was that there was a large auditorium with a piano, an instrument that he did not have at the time, which, in addition to being crucial, was expensive, in addition to not having the resources for a computer for musical composition work. Like  as possible of investment on the father's side. It was not recognized as a viable career. He said that nobody liked the production demonstrated. The only time he was allowed to play the piano, it was reported that the patients became agitated and it was forbidden, and also to another patient, this pianist, not a composer. Since every night it was possible to see the piano and not play it; due to a daily but not obligatory religious service. In addition, since graduating, he also shows a willingness to work in the audiovisual career: cinema, which is expected to happen over time.
