Plano Piloto

Plano Piloto formed in Brasília in 2004, with Pedro Seiler on vocals and guitar, Guilherme Guedes on bass and keyboards, and Rafael Castro on drums. They started playing experimental music in Brazil's capital city, which has a particular architectural and cultural feel that sometimes shows up in their work.

Their song 'A Vida É um Grande Mistério' came out in 2006 and got some attention. It's a reflective track that asks questions without easy answers, and it still gets mentioned when people talk about the band. Other songs like 'Esplanada' and 'Medo' have a similar thoughtful quality, with arrangements that leave space for the lyrics.

They kept making music that mixed different styles, pulling from electronica and jazz at times. The sound changed across their records, but they stayed with that core trio for most of their active years. There's not much drama to report beyond the music itself, which tends to be quiet and a bit elusive.
