Coletivo NSLO – Sururus Perdidos

Coletivo NSLO

“Sururus Perdidos”

Sururus Perdidos presents instrumental compositions by Heitor Oliveira, performed by Dario Rodrigues Silva (piano), Gina Arantxa Arbeláez (flute), Renan Simões and Sabrina Souza (guitars). With significant independent artistic and academic trajectories, the musicians join forces for a collaborative endeavour that result in a series of phonographic releases, of which Sururus Perdidos is the second.

Sururus Perdidos presents three pieces from the authorial repertoire of the Collective NSLO. The duet Novos sururus and quiprocós de um convescote chumbrega contain fragmented narratives: a game that flutist and pianist build from collections of more or less obsolete materials. The duet Tudo é perdido quando o desejo fica repartido, for a couple of guitarists, sonically stages the drama of ambition and its consequences. In Desfotografia, structured improvisation for a quartet, it goes like this: “you remember and then… more

Coletivo NSLO brings together a group of musical creators and performers who reside in different regions of Brazil. The letters of the acronym mean north, south, east and west and represent the diversity of where the musicians come from: Palmas (Tocantins), Caçapava (São Paulo), Cali (Colombia) and Mossoró (Rio Grande do Norte).

The genesis of the group took place at the post-graduate program in Music at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, where all the musicians did or are doing their doctorates. The group came together due to personal and artistic affinities that culminated in the sponsorship by Rumos Itaú Cultural of a two-year project to create a new repertoire. To do this the group carry out activities open to the public, in recitals, workshops, round tables, among others, as well as experimentation, rehearsal and production within the collective. The artistic goal was the gradual creation of an original repertoire based on interaction, expressive potential and experiences shared by musicians.

Through a project selected by the Rumos Itaú Cultural 2017-2018 program, between November 2018 and February 2020 Coletivo NSLO performed at various locations in Brazil and Colombia. The repertoire of the group was built and refined during these trips. In 2020, the sponsorship of Banco da Amazônia made phonographic and audiovisual production viable

Jose Miguel Candela – Hombres en Círculo Durante el Hechizo del Tiempo

Jose Miguel Candela – Hombres en Círculo Durante el Hechizo del Tiempo
[pn185]

Jose Miguel Candela

“Hombres en Círculo Durante el Hechizo del Tiempo”

I composed “Hombres en Círculo Durante el Hechizo del Tiempo” (Men in a Circle During the Spell of Time) in 1998 for the choreography and video-dance homonyms of «La Vitrina» dance company (Chile). This scenic creation sought to pay tribute to the ancient cultures of the extreme south of America (Aonikenk, Yamana, Selk’nam, Alakaluf), claiming and valuing their heritage through a reinterpretation from contemporary dance. In other words, it was not a representational rescue of the possible original Fuegian dances, but rather a western and contemporary «artifact». Thus, it also tried to testify through its artistic materiality on the extermination policy to which Chile subjected these cultures.

Today, 23 years after its composition, I present this music for the first time on a disc, thus adding a new volume to the “Greatest Dance Hits Collection”, a series of publications that compiles the music that I have composed for contemporary dance during the latter 25 years.

The music was made for 1 and 2 string quartets, with eventual sound interventions and electronic processes, and also with a delicate treatment of its internal space. I worked for its creation with different shamanic songs used by Lola Kiepja (last Selk’nam shaman) and recorded by the Canadian anthropologist Anne Chapman in Tierra del Fuego. In this way, both, I made variations of these songs and re-constructions “in style”, imitating their rhythmic and melodic characteristics. All this in a minimalist context and with free development.

Although the choreographic work claimed to have four parts (“La ausencia, la fragmentación”, “La muerte muerde silenciosa la carne”, “La vida: la recolección – la caza”, and “El rito”), for this album I decided to propose more divisions, to be faithful to the musical structure (a structure that was related to choreography in an interdependent way). In any case, I indicate in the name of the track to which part of the choreographic work each of the 9 tracks on this album belongs.

Lieutenant Caramel VersuS PARRHESIA Sound System

“RETROGRADE”

The necrophile hummingbird netlabel presents a dive into the memory. From the aftermaths of the past to the traumas origins.

Luigi Russolo works were an inspiration source, that’s why instead of the raw maximal Futurism, Retrograde sounds more like a kind of minimal nostalgia with a singular psychoactive research.
More about him in french
https://felipecaramelos.blogspot.com/2014/09/luigi-russolo-en-dehors-du-fascisme.html

Lieutenant Caramel told me he has travel to Syria in 1998 before the war and how what happens with the war hurt him. I told him I have travel to Jugoslavia in 1990 and that I could understand that feeling. This is the start point of this album.

Dedicated the Syrian people and all the people devastated by the ravages of war.

Retrograde is based on the sounds recorded by Lieutenant Caramel during his 1998 travel in Syria including the mesmerizing sound of the famous Norias of Hama.

rADio eNd

“Sound Therapy”

The necrophile hummingbird netlabel and HAMFUGGI Records present Sound Therapy by rADio eNd, an experiment around the musicology concept.

“Healing Music for Normal People”.
Perhaps normal people would not listen it, but if they do it, this surely would have a psychoactive effect to help them to become open minded.
Indeed it seems that is the storytelling of my own mutation.

You may notice that the lyrics are very importants in the other rADio eNd albums. For this one we chose to use mostly the voice without any words.
Because the emotions don’t need words to be express. Further more conceptual in “Introspection Prologue” it is the absence of voice which is meaningful.
Despite this voluntary constraint the last track host a little automatic poem channeled at the end of the process. The whole thing being a kind of sound therapy study.

One extra track extract of “Electricity” is on Shorty Music “My City” compilation https://vpoiskahdodofriends.bandcamp.com/track/radio-end-peru-the-electricity-fairy

Here is Introspection poem (notice that the meaning is little bit change in the english translation)

No matter how much I drank from all sources,
I was always thirsty.

Until something breaks.

Until a fissure forms,
that a crack snakes,
let a drop fall,
then another,
that they become a ditch,
then that the stream,
forms a puddle.

Become torrent,
gushing out of me,
then it becomes a lake.

I am sitting in the middle.

And I feel as soon as someone walks on the shore,
and I see the sky reflected there,
and the sky is the reflection of the earth.

And I feel, I sense, I anticipate.
And I feel, I sense, I know.
And I feel, I sense, I keep the track.

J’ai eu beau boire à toutes les sources,
j’avais toujours soif,
jusqu’à ce que quelque chose se brise.

Jusqu’à ce qu’il se forme une fissure,
que serpente une lézarde,
qu’une goutte tombe,
puis une autre,
qu’elles deviennent rigole
puis que le mince filet,
forme une flaque.

Devenues torrent,
jaillissant hors de moi,
qu’elle devienne un lac.

Je suis assis au milieu.

Et je sens dès que que quelqu’un marche sur le rivage,
et je vois le ciel s’y refléter,
et le ciel est le reflet de la terre.

Et je sens, je ressens, je pressens.
Et je sens, je ressens, je pressens.
Et je sens, je ressens, je pressens.

Jose Miguel Candela – Dos mil veinte

Jose Miguel Candela

“Dos mil veinte”

This album responds to an inescapable need to interact, from my creative work, with the serious events that have occurred in Chile since the social outbreak of October 2019 to date. These are urgent compositions, made in the late night of the impact, thus responding to the inhumane act of political-economic power. Once again, this power has exercised the most brutal violence against the Chilean people, through someone else’s hand. So never again!

“Preserve Energy Because the Struggle is Long”

IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH GRASPING THE DIVISION OF LABOUR BETWEEN MAN AND MACHINE

“There are obviously various musical directions and techniques going on in this album. A variety of sound sources and instruments are introduced. Abandoning specialization and sliding towards universality produces thriving musical diversity but also easily ends up to the dilettantism, which I have not been that much afraid of.

How many instruments I really played on this album? The answer is unambiguous. I am a guitarist, so I play guitar (on tracks 1, 2 and 10). Track 8 is played on the guitar, but the sound source is a virtual instrument violin (Embertone’s Joshua Bell violin by guitar to MIDI, no Max/MSP involved). Playing gestures of violin (sampled) and guitar (played by me) are entirely different in nature. So what is the point of playing violin by the guitar? Just to have fun.

Sampling, ‘micromontage’, and subsequently identifying pitch from objects, which will then be used through virtual instruments. This is how you introduce yourself to the Wild Breath world. Being the result of the process of deconstruction of the compositional act from the visual conceptualization. Which, attempts to communicate the existing language in a solo instrument (the clarinet) designed from an improvised approach. And that explores and cultivates the relationship between the performer and the drawing. In a very particular sound conception.

DzEta – We Hope For A Happy Ending
[IYE36]

DzEta

“We Hope For A Happy Ending”

DzEta is NiCo (Limoges, France) solo musical project.
Inspired by instrumental music, post-rock and ambient music, by artists such as Ez3kiel, Slowdive, Mogwai… He create organic instrumental tracks that I stack to create a solid foundation for inspired aerial melodies. Playing both guitar and effects, mixing textures for misty atmospheres that reveal themselves towards the luminous.

Immersion in the landscape is one of the effects of listening to the DzEta songs: they are virtual visions, but with real sensations, thanks to a peculiar approach to the songs: a known form, halfway between post rock and shoegaze. Composed entirely in solitary, this ep plays with melodies in drawing landscapes that outline along hypothetical and hypnotic winter roads or following a flight of birds over mountains and still lifes.

Artem Bemba

“GAMES ON THE TREE”

Этот альбом я записал в перерывах между работой над альбомом AGALMA. Все треки, кроме первого, записаны в июне-июле 2018 года. Первый трек был записан ещё в 2017 году и долгое время рассматривался только как музыка к короткометражному фильму «Персонаж», а не как часть альбома. В итоге этот трек одновременно вошел в альбом и стал саундтреком к фильму.
Два трека из альбома посвящаются вполне конкретным местам:
«Journey By The Phantom Railroad» посвящается уже нерабочей железнодорожной линии возле Львова, по какой я иногда гуляю со своей девушкой.
«Church Made Of Mill» посвящается церкви в деревне Боневычи, Старосамборского района, Львовской области. Она интересна тем, что построена из кирпичей старой разобраной мельницы из соседней деревни Нове Мисто.
На обложке изображена страница самиздатного альбома, посвященного истории села Миженец.
