Gui Boratto – Acrostico

Gui Boratto (born 1974 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian electronic music producer. He started his career working in the Publicity sector in 1989.

His album Chromophobia was awarded the title of Mixmag Album of the Month. Regarding why he chose the name Chromophobia, Boratto said: “The same meaning as monochromatism in architecture, which means simplicity. That’s all. I don’t have a morbid fear of colors at all. But also, I was ironic. My music is really colorful.”

On stage, Gui uses a laptop equipped with Ableton Live, a Jazz Mutant Lemur, a monome and an Evolution Uc33e, and he sometimes even invites a guitar player to join him.

In Acrostico, Gui seems more upbeat and relaxed than his other individual songs. Take a listen and dive in

“Gui Boratto might have the ugliest cover of 2009 but that didn’t stop me from checking out his album. When the vocal comes in i’m not too fond of the song but until then it reminds me of the good old days of Kompakt where you’d go to your local vinyl shop and check what this weeks Kompakt 12″ sounded like” – iso50
