●           deidra corp. is the stage name of my brother Pedro for the songs he has been composing since he was 12. «Discopédia», his first coherent work, was born from the summer of 2013: a virgin sonic refuge combining noise, a cheap keyboard bought at the supermarket by our grandmother, low‑resolution synths from the internet, and a genuine rawness. Its strength lies in that frankness, in the self‑imposed limit of authenticity. More than an album, it is an intimate atlas of a personal universe in the making: a sound archive of memories, discoveries and heartaches, recorded in his bedroom between the ages of 12 and 14.

●           Two years later, it was time to pull it out of the drawer. To celebrate his 17th birthday (23.11.2016), we packaged «Discopédia»: in a box, 10 blank recordable CDs, each with a different cover designed by deidra himself inside a transparent sleeve. The songs are waiting, for free, on Bandcamp.

As the production is handcrafted, each copy is unique. The version exhibited here was made for Papico to give to his beloved Beatriz Silva (see the handwritten inscriptions on the front of the packaging).

The master design of the CD discs allows the background to be customisable. In this case, we used photographs of Papico and Beatriz on some of them.

Featuring the invaluable participation of Ricardo de Sousa.
