Portuguese musician and songwriter Alexandre Santos (founder of Scar For Life) has released “Unreel, the second album from his Atmospheric Rock project, Cineasta.
Born from a turbulent period of personal hardships, the album evolved from raw piano memos on Alexandre’s phone into a deeply personal, yet intentionally positive and energetic Rock record.
“Unreel” is primarily an instrumental album, but features four tracks with vocals. Santos handled songwriting, production, and most instrumentation, reuniting with original Cineasta musicians Vicente Ferreira (drums) and German D (violins).
The four vocal tracks feature metal veteran Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen) on “Ecliptica,” longtime collaborator David Reed Watson on “My Unfolding,” and Portuguese singer Sombra on two tracks—marking Santos’ first-time ever releasing music in his native language. The album’s visual identity was created by The Art of Menoevil, featuring model Avika Vimolrat. Unreel is released via Lion Music Record Label.
