Cintura Interna [Cassette]

Joao Ha - Cintura Interna [Cassette]

Cintura Interna is Joao Ha's new release for Sucata Tapes, a work shaped by accident, drift, and unlikely connections. Its guiding notion comes from "Musica Careca" (Bald Music) -- a strange term apparently used by Jean Dubuffet to describe his own sound experiments. Dubuffet wasn't a musician, but he was bald; the phrase lingers as an apt description for music that is naive without innocence: amateur bruitism, soft sound, raw and direct, where intention is left exposed to errancy. The piece itself came together without project or plan, eventually forming what Ha calls an "accidental Frankenstein" -- or perhaps Frankenoise. Built from recordings made more than 15 years ago on cassette and obsolete equipment, mixed with more recent material, Cintura Interna bridges time and decay, refusing diaristic or documentary framing. As an unexpected detour, the release also includes a version of the garage classic "Louie Louie."
