about

Out on Linear Obsessional Recordings (UK):
linearobsessional.bandcamp.com/album/bella-rohrer-mack-skitter

The second release in Linear Obsessional's new cassette series, this split tape features on side A, a live improvisation by the São Paulo based trio of Brazilian sound artist bella and two Brazil based improvisers Christopher Mack (guitar, voice and echo) and Thomas Rohrer (sax and rabeca). The Scottish sound artist skitter has taken the recording and edited and assembled it into a double trio... (with no processing)

Side B by skitter is an audio portrait of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the currently imprisoned ex-president of Brazil... a layered collage of various online Brazilian sources (including Lula wire-tap telephone conversations released into the public domain by the prosecuting judge).(with processing)

Two urgent, dense and compelling works created from two contrasting edges of Brazilian culture.
​

"I found BELLA+ROHRER+MACK / skitter (LOR112), the second cassette release on LOR, a lot more enjoyable…the first side is a 30-minute improvisation captured in Sao Paulo and called ‘Operação Tampa Buraco’, produced by a compelling mix of acoustic instruments, live tapes, and electronics. Thomas Rohrer, Christopher Mack and bella produced this rich jumble of voices, music, noise and low-key wailing, and then the Scots genius Skitter assembled the results – perhaps by overdubbing – to create the effect of a “double trio”. Plenty of unexpected sound-windows appear, through which leak further interesting events; really loving the hand-made, DIY quality of it all, kind of like an avant-garde version of a Fall bootleg. (...) If you like improv that’s juicy and warm, rather than mannered and cold, look no further. Interestingly, of the threesome only Bella is actually Brazilian, while the rabeca player and saxophonist Rohrer is Swiss, and guitarist Mack is originally from Glasgow."
