Description
2025 marks the 50th year of “músicas para elefantes, elevadores e peixes pequenos de agua salgada" (music for elephants, elevators and small saltwater fish). These pieces were written for a brazilian feature that never happened. In November 1973 a cardboard envelope reached Pedro’s desk with a script, a penciled shot list, and location photos: a hillside port city, a public elevator over the harbor, an empty aquarium, an elephant under concrete arcades. No cast list, no letterhead. Only a shooting schedule full of optimistic exclamation marks. He worked quickly and alone through January–March 1976, recording the cues to tape and posting the reels as instructed. The masters were boxed and dated September, 1975. By June 1975 the production had gone quiet; by December it was considered shelved. On the same year, a single theme was quietly issued on a Brazil‑only 7‑inch pressing, locally made and never exported, while the remaining music stayed boxed. The recordings were never used in any picture. The tracks follow the atmosphere found on the original script. In order to achieve this, synths, organs and rhythm boxes are widely used across the album. Acoustic guitars as complementary percussion are responsible for adding the brazilian seasoning. Recently, a friend of the family rediscovered the tapes and worked digitalizing the music. All recording atmosphere and intention was kept as close as possible to the original pressing. released September 1, 2025 All tracks written and produced by Pedro Borges Unknown Studio, Brasil
