His debut solo 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." He owns the record label D.O.C., distributed by Kompakt. The first artist he signed was the Brazilian electronic duo Elekfantz. On stage, Boratto uses a laptop equipped with Ableton Live, a JazzMutant Lemur, a monome and an Akai APC40. He sometimes invites a guitar player to join him.

Pentagram (Gui Boratto Album)
A pentagram (sometimes known as a pentalpha, pentangle, or star pentagon) is a regular five-pointed star polygon, formed from the diagonal line segments of a convex (or simple, or non-self-intersecting) regular pentagon. Drawing a circle around the five points creates a similar symbol referred to as the pentacle, which is used widely by Wiccans and in paganism, or as a sign of life and connections. The word "pentagram" refers only to the five-pointed star, not the surrounding circle of a pentacle. Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia. Christians once commonly used the pentagram to represent the Five Holy Wounds, five wounds of Jesus. Today the symbol is widely used by the Wiccans, witches, and pagans. The pentagram has Magic (supernatural), magical associations. Many people who practice neopaganism wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. The word ''pentagram'' comes from the Greek language, Greek word πεντάγραμμον (''pentagrammon''), fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

A&E (song)
"A&E" is a song by English electronic music duo Goldfrapp from their fourth studio album, ''Seventh Tree'' (2008). The song was written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, with co-production handled by Flood. It was released as the album's lead single on 11 February 2008. Background and writing "A&E" was composed as a collaborative effort between Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory in 2007 in a recording studio near Somerset, England. Its lyrics were inspired by Goldfrapp's visit to the emergency department of a hospital on a Saturday afternoon. The doctors "pumped erup with loads of painkillers" and she described the situation as a "bit surreal." The track finds Goldfrapp reflecting on a bad situation which resulted in an "accident and emergency" (A&E). The situation made her "feel blue", and at the end of the song she concludes that finally "the pain has started to slip away", even though she admits there might be "pills at work."
