O caminho da saldade: da poesia até o videoclipe vivenciando saudades

Abstract

In this final year memoir, I present the process of creating a song and a music video for the song SALdade, written and performed by me, Gabi A Barbara, from the abstraction of the feeling to the realization of the works. I reflect about longing, appropriating a poetic neologism from the word SALdade as the driving force of this creation process. I elaborate the conduction done by my ancestors, so that I could be here building myself as a singer and composer, and as a multi-artist. I present feelings, techniques, and references that dialogue with my musical, visual, and sensorial perspectives for both the recording of the SALdade song and the construction and recording of its music video. I bring as musical reference the Brazilian artists Rashid and Luedji Luna. Rashid for elaborating in his compositions stories of life trajectory, similar to mine. And Luedji Luna especially in relation to the music video directed by Joyce Prado. I also bring Audre Lorde as a great motivator of my artistic achievements. I also discuss the experience of the art direction of the clip made with low resources.
