Cine Prive is the solo debut by Domenico Lancellotti, the son of samba legend Ivor Lancellotti. The album title means private cinema. "I like to listen to music made for films," Domenico says. "I like music that was conceived to support a certain image or scene. In these cases, the music interacts directly with the nervous system." Domenico writes and co-writes all the songs, sings, plays guitar and designs the rhythmically adventurous soundscapes heard on Cine Prive. With the help of old (Pedro Sa, Alberto Continentino, Moreno Veloso, Kassin, and Adriana Calcanhotto) and newer (Money Mark, Darin Gray & Glenn Kotche of Duo on Fillmore) friends and musical collaborators the songs were recorded live in the studio with most tracks calling on no more than three musicians at a time.
