Album recording

Curva de vento was recorded inside an old house in Itamaracá, Pernambuco, which belongs to a friend of the group members.[2] The band and its technical staff spread microphones around the whole house and each group member decided where he preferred to play (bedroom, bathroom etc.). This way, the musicians could find the best tones for their instruments.[1]

The recording period took around ten days. After recorded all the instruments, the songs were mixed in a musical studio. However, this phase took much more time and the album was only released in the beginning of 2008.[2]
