Description
Most of the recordings and compositions were done in the great lakes of Africa region of Uganda, Congo (DRC), Tanzania as well as the island of Zanzibar. Meshing impromptu in situ compositions with old dusty samples and his own field recordings is the go to modus operandi of Gonçalo F Cardoso’s various monikers (ie Gonzo, Papillon), creating deep layered ‘exotic/alien’ soundscapes of various moods and feels.
Here’s another series of surreal and augmented field recordings that try to brace the listener with fresh alien authenticity before toying very pointedly with antiquated constructs by mixing avant-garde dustbin synth music with concrete field recordings and humorous, tongue in cheek intersections – not to ‘ever’ be taken too seriously.
With a brand new art collage by US artist Evan Crankshaw.
