Abandoned is the car that sits entangled in weeds along the forest line. Directionless limbs and leaves ensnare the machine under the window tarp and throughout the undercarriage mechanics. Within the trunk — based on the original position of tools and the spare tire and a beach chair, etc. — there appears to be a ratking-esque hidden world of vines and roots and stems mangled and dreaded together like cables. It’s like jazz of the natural world. Improvising off the soul beat of life on earth, and growing upon and around at the will of photosynthesis.
Notice the middle name above? Well, brother to TMT’s own Paulo Scarpa (and long-time sound sculptor), Orlando Scarpa Neto, released Imprevisibilidade do Pulso (Unpredictability of Pulse) this weekend in four parts beholding two titles: “Pulso interno” and “Pulso externo.” “Pulso interno I” and “Pulso interno II” grind away slowly at the listener, deeply rooting the pulsating innards of wire to spark to machine to controls. More like a slow-motion fire hose that’s been turned on and let loose. “Pulso externo I” and “Pulso externo II” are much more pleasant just on the outside. Looking into that car’s interior, exploring and pointing at the intricacies of vegetation, and admiring the process which becomes life
I’ve been following Orlando Scarpa Neto for a minute now, and am super stoked to be grippin’ this on a Monday after a weekend of “nothing-much, really.” Servers ain’t working at work, and my admiration for the Imprevisibilidade do Pulso is just continuing to grow!
