| i had been contacted a few years back by the portugese “plancton” label about this compilation when it was still in its planning stages... glad it’s finally seen the light of day via the help of rafael toral and mr. tom steinle.
when in town back in 2004, rafael explained the lack of earlier tape pieces by reminding me that “1972 was a cultural year zero for portugal”. the electronic music that followed over the next 30+ years is a mishmash of every conceivable phylum/belief system ranging from dry academic etudes to home-recorded zonk.
an astouding compilation, and the only collection of portugal’s electronic music history out there. essential. |
| | this anthology covers authors and works informed by very different cultural backgrounds, normal as it is to the "inhabitants" of each cultural environment to live in somehow isolated communities. my goal was to weave a historic thread that would freely cross boundaries between the authors' cultural territories and also to document as many approaches to electronic music as possible, both on material and conceptual levels.
it's a work that i approached with both an artistic and personal perspective. that is to say, the anthology is also to be a work on its own, and relations between the pieces represented were determined by musical criteria, rather than chronological or other. i also intended to provide a view into each author in a possibly surprising way, always trying to escape each one's typical image, as well as to subtly evoke a playful dimension in creative processes.
these excerpts were chosen (by plancton music at first and myself later) because of their musical importance and historic relevance (either collective or personal). however, using this approach, the present anthology couldn't and wouldn't pretend to be exhaustive or complete.
