CALAMIDADES

Born out of 3 tracks (electronic beats and bass) sent by João Svayam to Leonel Cardoso. Leonel made 2 different recording sessions on top of those base tracks, and here are the 6 tracks. Calamidades, calamities, presents dark textures, improvised approaches to composition, and soundscapes that travel from free form music to experimental prog rock a la Larks Tongues.

«Like the amphibians that composed them, these songs are neither fish nor meat.
Between the first beat of "TROVÃO" (Thunder) and the last chord of "EM BUSCA DE UMA CERTA PAZ (onde está)" (In Search of a Certain Peace (Where Is It)), lies a world where electronica, fusion, improv, punk (and everything else) converge in a delightful blend.
A sonic déjà vu that sweeps us off our feet and simultaneously leaves us pleasantly lost for reference, but thinking to ourselves: "I've been here before..."»
