Mauricio Takara
and
Carla Boregas
have long been key players in the experimental and underground music scene in São Paolo, Brazil.
Grande Massa D'Agua
(Great Body of Water) is their second album as a duo and it sees them continue to explore themes related to water as they dive into uncharted musical depths. In discussing the duo's relationship with water, Mauricio said: "...on the first record it kinda came a little by coincidence (or not), Carla had the name
Linha D'água
in mind and when we were listening to the opening track one day while I was filling up a bottle with water we thought the sounds combined well. So that kinda became a little bit of a remarkable sound of the record. Funny enough in the beginning of the pandemic we decided to take a turn and move to a small beach close to São Paulo, and that's right in the middle of the rain forest, so by then water definitely took a major role in our lives. We were living right in between the ocean and a waterfall, it'd rain for days on a roll sometimes and it was an open house where we had the sound of rain 360 degrees around us... I kinda think our music has a little of those different dynamics of water in its different states. also, it might seem strange but São Paulo is a city in the water too, and it has a very chaotic relationship with it." The music itself is difficult to pin down, always kinetic and driven by Takara's fluid, nimble percussion; there's a freeness to the sound as a whole, but also an atmosphere of tight discipline as the pair harness and channel the elemental force from which they've drawn the inspiration for their works. At times the lines between Takara's skittish percussion and Boregas's idiosyncratic synth work and sound manipulation blur into flowing rivers or torrents of sound -- here, both water and sound have the ability to awaken different memories and emotional or physical states. Carla Boregas's other projects include
Rakta
and
Fronte Violeta
as well as being a prolific solo artist and founder of AUTA, a venue dedicated to experimental music in São Paulo, and the record label Dama Da Noite. Mauricio Takara also plays with the bands
Hurtmold
,
São Paulo Underground
(with trumpeter
Rob Mazurek
from Chicago), and
MNTH
, as well as sitting in on live sessions with an array of improv/experimental/jazz figures. Recorded and mixed at Estúdio El Rocha by
Fernando Sanches
in 2022. Mastered by
Julian Tardo
at Church Road Studios, Hove. Cover painting by Rob Mazurek.
