jofi – ochre walls of heft

“ochre walls of heft”
It is yet another debut by a portuguese artist in the MiMi Records catalog.
The neck’s contortion, the hand flung into the void, the chest opening to a silence that rises from beneath the skin and folds perception inward—the introspection of not quite knowing what the body itself is feeling.
As a kind of retrospective, “ochre walls of heft” strips away the final layers of what this project has been: an exploration of abstract, unbound sonorities. Here, everything takes form and culminates in the electric and/or acoustic guitar, sent on a journey through three distinct soundscapes, equally indebted to Tangerine Dream’s expansive atmospheres and Merzbow’s abrasive intensity.
When he’s not unsettling his neighbors with new recordings, jofi is also a poet, painter, and photographer.
