Product Description In 1977, the architect and music composer Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta met, in the Brazilian forests, a unique character. His name was Francisco Luiz Peixoto, he was about one hundred years old, was a shaman, a philosopher. Both became great friends and Mr. Chico was, as Emanuel Pimenta tells us, his first Zen master. The book also has a marvelous photographic essay, with more than two hundred images. It is an amazing true story. About the Author Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta has been considered an important musician, architect, writer, photographer and intermedia artist in the beginning of the third millennium according to statements written by personalities like John Cage, Ornette Coleman, Merce Cunningham, Ren Berger, Daniel Charles, Dove Bradshaw, Phill Niblock or William Anastasi among others. With several international prizes, more than fifty published books, many electronic books and thirty audio compact discs, his works are included in some of the most important art collections and worldwide recognized institutions like the Whitney Museum of New York, the ARS AEVI Contemporary Art Museum, the Biennale of Venice, the Computer Art Museum of Seattle, the Kunsthaus of Zurich, the Durini Contemporary Art Collection, the Bibliotque Nationale of Paris and the MART Modern Art Museum of Rovereto and Trento among others. His works are also included in the Universalis Encyclopedia (Britannica) since 1991, in the Sloninsky Baker's Music Dictionary (Berkeley), the Charles Hall's Chronology of the Western Classical Music, as well as in the All Music Guide The Expert's Guide to the Best Cds. Legendary musicians like John Cage, David Tudor, Takehisa Kosugi, John Tilbury, Christian Wolff, Maurizio Barbetti, Audrey Riley and the Manhattan Quartet among others have performed his compositions. He collaborated with John Cage, as commissioned composer for Merce Cunningham, from 1985 until his disappearance in 1992.
