Bio:
Nascido na cidade de São Paulo, Noa Stroeter deu início aos seus estudos musicais com seu pai, Rodolfo Stroeter, e seu tio, Levy Miranda, no Groove Curso Livre de Música. Em 2008, conquistou uma bolsa de estudos no Conservatório Real de Haia, na Holanda, onde completou o bacharelado e obteve o título de mestre em contrabaixo, defendendo uma tese centrada na música instrumental brasileira. Durante seu período na Holanda, Noa colaborou com os músicos Henrique Gomide e João Fideles, solidificando a formação do Caixa Cubo Trio.
Desde os primeiros passos de sua carreira, Noa tem explorado sua versatilidade como instrumentista, compositor, arranjador, produtor musical e educador. Ao longo de sua jornada, colaborou e gravou com renomados artistas da cena musical nacional e internacional, como Wilson das Neves, Yamandu Costa, Guinga, Paulo Belinatti, Monarco, Nelson Ayres, Teco Cardoso, Osvaldinho da Cuica, Joyce, Liena Centeno, Irene Atienza, Arícia Mess, Clara Moreno, Celso Fonseca, Peter Beets, Philip Harper, Francesco Turisi, John Ruocco, Ibrahim Maalouf, Jamie Cullum e Kurt Rosenwinkel, apresentando-se em diversos festivais e casas de espetáculo no Brasil, EUA, Alemanha, Holanda, Irlanda, França, Dinamarca, Noruega, Japão e Moçambique.
Em 2019, Noa Stroeter lançou "Prece", seu primeiro projeto como líder. O álbum mergulha mais profundamente em sua pesquisa como compositor e contrabaixista acústico, apresentando nove composições escritas para quinteto, com a participação de alguns dos melhores músicos da cena brasileira: Daniel D'Alcantara (trompete e flugelhorn), Josué dos Santos (Tenor Saxofone e Flauta), Marcos Romera (Piano e Fender Rhodes) e Vitor Cabral (Bateria). O disco foi oficialmente lançado em maio de 2020.

Born in the city of São Paulo, Noa Stroeter began studying music with his father, Rodolfo Stroeter, and his uncle, Levy Miranda, at the Groove Free Music Course. In 2008, Noa received a scholarship to the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands, where he completed his bachelor's degree and earned a master's degree in double bass, defending his thesis with a focus on Brazilian instrumental music. It was during his time in the Netherlands that Noa joined forces with musicians Henrique Gomide and João Fideles, forming the Caixa Cubo Trio.
Working from an early age, Noa has explored his versatility in various roles such as instrumentalist, composer, arranger, musical producer, and educator. Throughout his career, Noa has played and recorded with important artists from the national and international music scene, including Wilson das Neves, Yamandu Costa, Guinga, Paulo Belinatti, Monarco, Nelson Ayres, Teco Cardoso, Osvaldinho da Cuica, Joyce, Liena Centeno, Irene Atienza, Arícia Mess, Clara Moreno, Celso Fonseca, Peter Beets, Philip Harper, Francesco Turisi, John Ruocco, Ibrahim Maalouf, Jamie Cullum, and Kurt Rosenwinkel, performing at festivals and venues in Brazil, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Denmark, Norway, Japan, and Mozambique.
In 2019, he recorded "Prece," his first project as a leader. The album delves deeper into his research as a composer and acoustic bassist.

The Integrated Global Creative Economy
Wolfram Mathematics
This technological matrix, originating in Bahia, Brazil and positioning creators around the world within reach of each other and the entire planet, is able to do so because it is small-world (see Wolfram).
Bahia itself, final port-of-call for more enslaved human beings than any other place on earth throughout all of human history, refuge for Lusitanian Sephardim fleeing the Inquisition, Indigenous both apart and subsumed into a brilliant sociocultural matrix comprised of these three peoples and more, is small-world.
Human society, the billions of us in all the complexity of our relationships, is small-world. Neural structures for human memory are small-world, neural structures in artificial intelligence are small-world...
In small worlds great things are possible. In a matrix they can be created.

Dear friends & colleagues,
Having arrived in Salvador 13 years earlier, I opened a record shop in 2005 in order to create an outlet to the wider world for Bahian musicians, many of them magisterial but unknown.
David Dye & Kim Junod for NPR found us (above), and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (he's a huge jazz fan), David Byrne, Oscar Castro-Neves... Spike Lee walked past the place while I was sitting on the stoop across the street drinking beer and listening to samba from the speaker in the window...
But we weren't exactly easy for the world-at-large to get to. So in order to extend the place's ethos I transformed the site associated with it into a network wherein Brazilian musicians I knew would recommend other Brazilian musicians, who would recommend others...
And as I anticipated, the chalky hand of God-as-mathematician intervened: In human society — per the small-world phenomenon — most of the billions of us on earth are within some 6 or fewer degrees of each other. Likewise, within a network of interlinked artists as I've described above, most of these artists will in the same manner be at most a handful of steps away from each other.
So then, all that's necessary to put the Bahians and other Brazilians within possible purview of the wide wide world is to include them among a wide wide range of artists around that world.
If, for example, Quincy Jones is inside the matrix (people who have passed are not removed), then anybody on his page — whether they be accessing from a campus in L.A., a pub in Dublin, a shebeen in Cape Town, a tent in Mongolia — will be close, transitable steps away from Raymundo Sodré, even if they know nothing of Brazil and are unaware that Sodré sings/dances upon this planet. Sodré, having been knocked from the perch of fame and ground into anonymity by Brazil's dictatorship, has now the alternative of access to the world-at-large via recourse to the vast potential of network theory.
...to the degree that other artists et al — writers, researchers, filmmakers, painters, choreographers...everywhere — do also. Artificial intelligence not required. Real intelligence, yes.
Years ago in NYC I "rescued" unpaid royalties (performance & mechanical) for artists/composers including Barbra Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Mongo Santamaria, Jim Hall, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd (for his rights in Bob Marley compositions; Clement was Bob's first producer), Led Zeppelin, Ray Barretto, Philip Glass and many others. Aretha called me out of the blue vis-à-vis money owed by Atlantic Records. Allen Klein (managed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Ray Charles) called about money due the estate of Sam Cooke. Jerry Ragovoy (Time Is On My Side, Piece of My Heart) called just to see if he had any unpaid money floating around out there (the royalty world was a shark-filled jungle, to mangle metaphors, and I doubt it's changed).
But the pertinent client (and friend) in the present context is Earl "Speedo" Carroll, of The Cadillacs. Earl went from doo-wopping on Harlem streetcorners to chart-topping success to working as a custodian at PS 87 elementary school on the west side of Manhattan. Through all of this he never lost what made him great.
Greatness and fame are too often conflated. The former should be accessible independently of the latter.
