Neofonia

Neofonia was a Brazilian ensemble led by composer and conductor Eder Paolozzi. Their sound combined classical instruments like violins and cellos with electric guitars and synthesizers, creating something that felt both orchestral and contemporary.

Their song "A Engrenagem" became known for its political commentary during Brazil's oppressive regime, with lyrics that resonated with many listeners. The group's performances sometimes included theatrical elements that challenged traditional concert formats.

Alongside Paolozzi, musicians like violinist André Ribeiro, cellist Alceu Reis, and keyboardist Marco Antônio Guimarães contributed to the ensemble's distinctive sound. Other songs in their catalog included "A Quinta," "Ancorar," and "Combustão Espontânea."
