Pedro Janela publishes the tracks of his new album from “The Casino Royal” worldwide at UCP.ONE

A painter combines colors, shapes and textures to create illusions. A writer minuciously picks his words to create sceneries and contexts. In the same sense, the author Pedro Janela sculpts notes, lyrics and rhythms the ambiances which he envisions and where it transports us with his Music. Moreover, the surname Janela (“Window” in Portuguese) fits him perfectly. More than writing songs and music tracks which exhaust themselves in the music itself, the motivation, intrinsic inspiration of Pedro reside in the ability of opening windows to those ambiances, which linger beyond the finite concepts of time and space where the sound is perceived.

Pedro Janela is a composer of dreams, sceneries and ambiances. His language is creative, innovative and exploratory of the new processes and resources. Dynamic and versatile, he comes from a background of Classical music which led him to study the piano at the Conservatory, however he is knowledgeable and explores carefully the resources that come to the music scene everyday.

He inherited deep roots to music from his family, and among many, Pedro recalls with great pride his grandfather, lover of Music and a craftsman who became a master in the art of building harmonics.

The band The Casino Royal – from which he is the mentor – constitutes a more stable and visible face of the audiophile Pedro Janela. However, besides integrating in other projects, his activity splits also into the creation of sound tracks for cinema and audiovisuals and with the management and technical coordination of the studio Mastermix where he creates his works.

From his curriculum the following works stand out, the notable composition for a movie ”Quinze Pontos na Alma” from Vicente Alves do Ó, and the disquieting sound track for the mini-series of fictional history called “República”, produced to commemorate the centennial of the Portuguese Republic as well as “Jacinta”, “Al Berto”, “Soldado Milhões” among others.

Having already set the bar extremely high with previous releases usually goes hand in hand with a corresponding pressure of expectation to surpass it the next time. However, The Casino Royal seem to succeed in this in such a relaxed manner, as only they can. The first single “Bond Girl” from the eagerly awaited album “Eu E Tu” impressively shows what the listener can expect from the new album.
