Where to start with Marcos Valle
Start with Que Eu Canse E Descanse — Marcos Valle, 1970. That is the track sitting closest to the centre of all 17 Marcos Valle tracks in Zubissou Sounds — a listening room of 15,847 tracks placed one at a time by hand, not an algorithm.
This page is not a discography and not a ranking. It describes exactly one thing: the 17 Marcos Valle tracks that one person put in one room, and where they sit relative to each other. The starting point above is chosen by a rule you can check — of the 17 tracks, it is the one nearest the average position on the four knobs the room runs on, and where two sit equally close the one on a named record wins. Nothing here calls any record better than any other.
The collection leans hard on one record: 13 of the 17 tracks come from Marcos Valle alone.
The years need a caveat: 13 of 14 dated tracks land in the 1970s and come from 1 record, while the rest come from elsewhere — the mark of a reissue carrying its own date rather than the music's. Read the year column below as the date on the copy in this room, not the date the music arrived in the world.
Three ways in
The one track, if you only play one
Que Eu Canse E Descanse — Marcos Valle, 1970. Of the 17 Marcos Valle tracks here, this one sits closest to the average of all of them across the four knobs the room runs on. It is the least surprising thing in the collection, which is exactly what an entry point should be.
If you want the cerebral end
Berenice — Marcos Valle, 1970. The lowest head/body reading of any Marcos Valle track in the room (64 out of 100). This is as far towards cerebral as the collection goes.
If you want the groove end
Estrelar — Marcos Valle, 1970. The highest head/body reading here, at 88 out of 100 — a 24-point swing across the collection towards groove.
Where Marcos Valle sits in the room
Zubissou Sounds does not have playlists or genres you click. It has knobs. Every track carries a position on each one, set by hand when the track was added, and you find music by setting the room to a state rather than by searching for a name. These are Marcos Valle's average coordinates and the range they cover.
All four run 0–100. They are placed by a person, not derived from audio analysis or from any streaming service's feature data.

Questions
How many Marcos Valle tracks are in Zubissou Sounds?
There are 17, across 2 albums. 14 of them carry a date, running from 1970 to 2004. That is the whole of what this room holds — it is one person's collection, not a discography.
Is this a best-of, or a ranking?
No. Nothing here is ranked and no track is called better than another. The starting point is picked by arithmetic — the track closest to the centre of all the others on four measured axes — and the rule is printed above so you can disagree with it.
Where do the knob numbers come from?
They are set by hand, one track at a time, by the person who added the track. They are not audio analysis and not a Spotify feature. Mood, energy, density and the head/body balance each run 0 to 100. All 17 of these tracks have been read individually — nothing on this page is running on a default.
Can I listen to these here?
Not yet from this page. Zubissou Sounds is in private beta — the room itself plays through Spotify, and 17 of these 17 tracks are matched to a Spotify ID and ready to play the moment you are in. The waitlist form is at the bottom of this page.
