UNTAMED

Weird fish is the new duo formed by João Svayam and Jorge Nuno (band members of Uivo Zebra, and good sound and friendship partners), where they explore acoustic soundscapes, trance like patterns, improvised lyrics and vocals.

UNTAMED is an edition expressed in 4 formats: digital, cdr, tape and vídeo.

«From Uivo Zebra to Weird Fish there are countless steps, conversations, dialogues, amazing moments, and true friendship combined. It is an amazing pleasure to finally record this duo with Jorge and bring it here to Tutmonda's catalogue.»
João Svayam

«'Untamed' is an exercise and a construct, a fleeting and narrative synthesis of a biological process of disidentification and reidentification. An album that seems to spring from a refusal to tame sound and a desire to let it exist in its most instinctive state. The duo Weird Fish (João Svayam and Jorge Nuno) moves here in the territory of exploring improvisation as a method of sound investigation.
(...)It is music that breathes, that exposes itself, that accepts error and surprise as an essential part of the journey. A sound construction of strangeness and freedom, birthed from the amazement of those who 'venture out of water'. The album articulates dynamic and textural contrasts, alternating between passages of melodic restraint and moments of greater density and intensity. Curiosity acts as a creative engine, generating ideas that expand, destabilize and lead to processes of musical metamorphosis.»
Nuno Mangas Viegas
