Then we could be dancing and you'd smile and say: 'I like this song'.
A propósito da possibilidade de ir ao Primavera Sound em 2011 (se o cartaz já está assim, imagino os restantes 2/3...) pus-me a pensar...Animal Collective deve ser a única banda que, hoje em dia, sinto como uma grande falha na caderneta de concertos indie. E os únicos pelos quais fico em pulgas na prespectiva de, finalmente, os ver ao vivo.
Conheci-os um bocadinho tarde, com o Strawberry Jam. Zanguei-me com o Merriwheather Post Pavillion, birrinha inconsequente, afinal é um álbum do caraças. Lá por ser menos esquizofrénico não quer dizer que não seja bom. Evolução, dizem. Detesto 'evoluções' onde se perdem algumas das características que me fizeram apaixonar por certas bandas (e este assunto dará pano pra outros posts).
A questão é que voltei ao Merriwheather Post Pavillion e estou há cerca de uma hora colada na In The Flowers (começo a ficar preocupada, ontem estive o mesmo tempo colada na So Bored dos Wavves). Muito densa, muito bem construida :
1ª parte : a música começa calminha, percebemos que há duas pessoas: uma que aparentemente se ausenta com frequência e tem saudades da outra.
A dancer who was high in a field from a moment
Caught my breath on my way home
Couldn't stop that spinning force
I fell into you
Everything drowns you to giggle
You are up with the flower and I care
So the dancer who gets wild to the deep reveling rhythm
But I am always away for weeks
that pass slow like mind gets lost
Feeling envy for the kid who danced in spite of anything
And we're out in the flowers and feel better
Então a pessoa deseja, sei lá uma daquelas coisas de viagens astrais ou assim :
If I could just leave my body for the night
e boom!!! a música explode, enquanto a pessoa imagina lá a 'viagem astral' e a possibilidade de estarem juntos numa outra 'dimensão' que não precisa de ser xamânica pronto, pode ser a nível de pensamento...é bonito à mesma.
Then we could be dancing no more missing you while I am gone
Then we could be dancing and you'd smile and say I like this song
And then ours would meet them we will recognize nothing's wrong
And I wouldn't feel so selfish I won't be this way very long
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
To hold you in time
Volta ao ritmo inicial, à realidade, e acaba.
And we're dancing, early hours drunken days finally ended
And the streets turn for pillowcase
And I fumble all good lie
Then the ecstasy turns the writhing light through our windowpane
Now I am gone, I left flowers for you there
É pena o vídeo. Está dentro da linguagem mas não surpreende.

I'm so indie I could die.
Sou de Los Angeles ou de Brooklyn, tenho um gato na capa do álbum que lancei em 2010 e fiz uma música com a batida que toda a gente conhece (a.k.a. pum pumpum tcha do Be My Baby das Ronettes). Ai não, desculpem lá Wild Nothing da Virgínia (que por acaso têm uma das capas do ano) e Small Black (que por acaso até ganhavam mais com o gato do que com a correntinha), não quero, de todo, meter as coisas no mesmo saco.
E já agora por falar em Small Black, depois de nos presentearem com uma maravilha de EP, resolvem lançar um álbum assim meio pró fracote. Well, we'll always have Despicable Dogs:

someone shot our innocence
(fotogramas de Badlands, Terrence Malick, EUA 1973)
A propósito de uma tentativa de portfólio-relâmpago andei a rebuscar o passado. Dei-me conta que está por estes dias a fazer um ano...se aquele momento no cruzamento da Voluntários da Pátria com a Real Grandeza tivesse sido filmado dava qualquer coisa lamechas de domingo à tarde na TVI. E apesar de tudo está na gaveta dos momentos-do-caraças-aos-quais-só-tens-direito-uma-vez-na-vida.
É terrível e pateta, mas inevitável.

o cinema, enquanto sistema de imagens pré-significantes.*
* ou então isto não foi nada de propósito, eu é que estou a ficar louca e a ver significados onde não existem.
Bem, caso de estudo : Terra em Transe, de Gaulber Rocha, Brasil 1967.
Num país fictício da América Latina [Eldorado], o poeta Paulo vê-se no meio do governador conservador Diaz e do vereador populista Vieira. Apesar de em primeira instância apoiar Diaz, quando este é eleito senador Paulo fica descontente com as suas políticas e resolve então apoiar a candidatura a governador de Vieira, o gajo que promete apoiar o povo, as suas necessidades, blá, blá, blá. O pior é que, quando Vieira é finalmente eleito governador, o aspecto das coisas muda consideravelmente.
Nesta cena, o recém-eleito Vieira é confrontado com as reclamações de alguns populares que, obrigados a abandonar as terras [onde se instalaram 'já tem mais de vinte ano' ]pelos legítimos proprietários que entretanto se lembraram de as reclamar, prometem , no caso de a justiça decidir que 'a gente deve deixar as terra', eles 'morre mas não deixa não'.
Plano1 : Felício posiciona-se à frente e acima da população, é o seu representante.
Plano 2 : câmara muda de posição e Fenício é agora visto a subir para ir ter com o governador e os guardas, que estão 'acima ' dele. Se no plano anterior Fenício era visto numa posição de liderança, elevada, de frente..., agora é visto numa posição 'subjugada'.
Plano 3 : Fenício conversa com os jornalistas, o poeta Paulo e o governador Vieira expondo os seus problemas.
Plano 4 - enquanto o governador e o poeta desdenham Fenício, a câmara muda para um plano de conjunto lateral afastando-se lentamente da cena e deixando ver o terreno inclinado :vêm-se as figuras do poder a 'empurrarem' Fenício de novo para baixo (nos fotogramas não se percebe mas eles começam a andar em direcção a Fenício e este começa a recuar) até que Paulo o agride e este cai.
Ferpeito.
nerd alert!
Momento nerd da semana : o dia em que revi Citizen Kane [depois de me meter nestas coisas dos filmes e tal] :
Vemos Kane e Jedediah a entrar no jornal pela primeira vez.
eles avançam...reparem em Jedediah (o gajo do lado esquerdo)...nada na mão direita, nada na mão esquerda...
agora...o estranho da coisa : Jedediah poderia ter continuado por onde ia...tinha espaço suficiente para passar entre a coluna e a secretária...mas não...olha por um momento para a coluna e deve ter pensado qualquer coisa do género : 'ai que saudades que eu tenho dos meus tempos de pole dancer ali no clube da esquina'. E resolve botar a mão à coluna, dar a voltinha e passar pelo outro lado.
...aqui ele a dar a voltinha...e entretanto corta, e muda o plano para o outro lado. A primeira vez que vi isto pensei: mas que bizarro, por que raio ele faz isto?...e recuei o filme (é por estas e outras que a minha forma preferida de ver filmes é no computador...) para ver se a mudança de plano estava bem feita (a passagem do plano de costas para o plano de frente) e...

BUMMMMMM! Fez-se o Chocapic!...ou melhor...aquelas folhas não estavam ali...RRRRR...computer says no!...Embora eu ache que este erro é completamente propositado...caraças, o gajo não ia dar tanto ênfase à passagem de plano e depois ter uma gralha...o Orson Welles não tem cara de ser como certas e determinadas pessoas que erram o tempo no refrão de uma música e depois dizem que é de propósito...

clear the room, there's, a fire, a fire, a fire!
(Joanninha em versão Quagmire)
Joanna Newsom, 24 de Janeiro, Casa da Música, Sala Suggia.
Conheci-a em 2007. Foi, muito em parte pelas circunstâncias em que a conheci, uma espécie de revelação. Estive colada no Ys muitos meses, enquanto pensava quem era aquela catraia de 20 e poucos anos que não escrevia canções, escrevia épicos...fada e trovadora que no meio da bicharada toda pegava num instrumento pouco comum - a harpa- e construia músicas de 12 minutos com uma estrutura que pouco tinha a ver com o pop/rock ao qual estava habituada.
Sendo eu pouco dada a freakalhadas e borboletas/fadinhas style - concedo-me um Nag Champa de quando a quando, mas só porque é, sem dúvida, o melhor dos incensos - fiquei supreendida pelo meu colanço. Ao longo destes anos tenho vindo a 'dissecar' a sua razão, chegando recentemente à conclusão de que eu não gosto da Joanna Newsom. Gosto do Ys. É o álbum do milénio, de todos eles.
A começar pela 'pintura' de Benjamin A. Vierling (toda riscada, com muita pena minha, de tanto andar no carro da minha mãe, mas estou a pensar comprar um novo só por causa disso)e continuando nas orquestrações de Van Dyke Parks e na mistura de Jim O'Rourke, passando pela 'perninha' do shôr Bill Callahan - que na altura lhe andava a saltar à espinha. E as letras. Coisas assim pró poético/complexo, daquelas que e preciso ter um dicionário ao lado e alguma sensibilidade para conseguir perceber todas as nuances e alegorias. Será 'complexo' sinónimo de qualidade? Nem sempre..., mas apesar de tudo estas fábulas são uma espécie de lufada de ar fresco no meio de tantos 'baby', 'loves' e desgraças da vida cantadas em verso/refrão/verso.
Saliento a 'Emily', dedicada à irmã de Joanna, astrónoma :
And, Emily - I saw you last night by the river
I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water
Frowning at the angle where they were lost, and slipped under forever,
In a mud-cloud, mica-spangled, like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror
Anyhow - I sat by your side, by the water
You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those pleiades loosed in december
I promised you I‘d set them to verse so I'd always remember
That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee
I dreamed you were skipping little stones across the surface of the water
Frowning at the angle where they were lost, and slipped under forever,
In a mud-cloud, mica-spangled, like the sky'd been breathing on a mirror
Anyhow - I sat by your side, by the water
You taught me the names of the stars overhead that I wrote down in my ledger
Though all I knew of the rote universe were those pleiades loosed in december
I promised you I‘d set them to verse so I'd always remember
That the meteorite is a source of the light
And the meteor's just what we see
And the meteoroid is a stone that's devoid of the fire that propelled it to thee
...sim, ela canta uns 'thee' lá pró meio, mas nada mais condizente com a imagem dela. É pena que a descrição do meteorito/meteoro/meteoróide não esteja de todo correcta, mas...who cares?
Saliento também a Only Skin (e transcrevo-a toda) a coisa mais brilhante e bem construida que ouvi na minha vida, 16 minutos de puro êxtase e lá pelo meio um clímax inexplicável :
and there was a booming above you
that night, black airplanes flew over the sea
and they were lowing and shifting like
beached whales
shelled snails
as you strained and you squinted to see
the retreat of their hairless and blind cavalry
you froze in your sand shoal
prayed for your poor soul
sky was a bread roll, soaking in a milk-bowl
and when the bread broke, fell in bricks of wet smoke
my sleeping heart woke, and my waking heart spoke
then there was a silence you took to mean something:
mean, run, sing
for alive you will evermore be
and the plague of the greasy black engines a-skulkin'
has gone east
while you're left to explain them to me
released from their hairless and blind cavalry
with your hands in your pockets, stubbily running
to where I'm unfresh, undressed and yawning
well, what is this craziness? this crazy talking?
you caught some small death when you were sleepwalking
it was a dark dream, darlin', it's over
the firebreather is beneath the clover
beneath his breathing there is cold clay, forever
a toothless hound-dog choking on a feather
but I took my fishingpole (fearing your fever)
down to the swimminghole, where there grows bitter herb
that blooms but one day a year by the riverside - I'd bring it here:
apply it gently
to the love you've lent me
while the river was twisting and braiding, the bait bobbed
and the string sobbed, as it cut through the hustling breeze
and I watched how the water was kneading so neatly
gone treacly
nearly slowed to a stop in this heat
- frenzy coiling flush along the muscles beneath
press on me: we are restless things
webs of seaweed are swaddling
you call upon the dusk
of the musk of a squid
shot full of ink, until you sink into your crib
rowing along, among the reeds, among the rushes
I heard your song, before my heart had time to hush it!
smell of a stone fruit being cut and being opened
smell of a low and of a lazy cinder smoking
and when the fire moves away
fire moves away, son
why would you say
I was the last one?
scrape your knee; it is only skin
makes the sound of violins
when you cut my hair, and leave the birds the trimmings
I am the happiest woman among all women
and the shallow
water
stretches as far as I can see
knee-deep, trudging along
a seagull weeps; "so long"
I'm humming a threshing song
until the night is over
hold on!
hold on!
hold your horses back from the fickle dawn
I have got some business out at the edge of town
candy weighing both of my pockets down
'til I can hardly stay afloat, from the weight of them
(and knowing how the common-folk condemn
what it is I do, to you, to keep you warm
being a woman, being a woman)
but always up the mountainside you're clambering
groping blindly, hungry for anything:
picking through your pocket linings - well, what is this?
scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?
I see the blossoms broke and wet after the rain
little sister, he will be back again
I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain
spiders ghosts hang soaked and dangelin'
silently from all the blooming cherry trees
in tiny nooses, safe from everyone
- nothing but a nuisance; gone now, dead and done
be a woman, be a woman!
though we felt the spray of the waves
we decided to stay 'til the tide rose too far
we weren't afraid, 'cause we know what you are
and you know that we know what you are
awful atoll
- o, incalculable indiscreetness and sorrow!
bawl, bellow:
Sibyl sea-cow, all done up in a bow
toddle and roll;
teeth an impalpable bit of leather
while yarrow, heather and hollyhock
awkwardly molt along the shore
are you mine?
my heart?
mine anymore?
stay with me for awhile
that's an awfully real gun
I know life will lay you down
as the lightning has lately done
failing this, failing this,
follow me, my sweetest friend
to see what you anointed in pointing your gun there
lay it down! nice and slow!
there is nowhere to go, save up
up where the light, undiluted, is weaving in a drunk dream
at the sight of my baby, out back:
back on the patio watching the bats bring night in
- while, elsewhere, estuaries of wax-white
wend, endlessly, towards seashores unmapped
last week our picture window produced a half-word
heavy and hollow, hit by a brown bird
we stood and watched her gape like a rattlesnake
and pant and labour over every intake
I said a sort of prayer for some sort of rare grace
then thought I ought to take her to a higher place
said: "dog nor vulture nor cat shall toy with you
and though you die, bird, you will have a fine view"
then in my hot hand
she slumped her sick weight
we tramped through the poison oak
heartbroke and inchoate
the dogs were snapping
so you cuffed their collars
while I climbed the tree-house
then how I hollered!
cause she'd lain, as still as a stone, in my palm, for a lifetime or two
then, saw the treetops, cocked her head and up and flew
(while, back in the world that moves, often
according to the hoarding of these clues
dogs still run roughly around
little tufts of finch-down)
the cities we passed were a flickering wasteland
but his hand in my hand made them hale and harmless
while down in the lowlands the crops are all coming;
we have everything
life is thundering blissful towards death
in a stampede of his fumbling green gentleness
you stopped by, I was all alive
in my doorway, we shucked and jived
and when you wept, I was gone:
see, I got gone when I got wise
but I can't with certainty say we survived
then down, and down
and down, and down
and down, and deeper
stoke without sound
the blameless flames
you endless sleeper
through fire below, and fire above, and fire within
sleeped through the things that couldn't have been if you hadn't have been
and when the fire moves away
fire moves away, son
why would you say
I was the last one?
all my bones they are gone, gone, gone
take my bones, I don't need none
cold, cold cupboard, Lord, nothing to chew on!
suck all day on a cherry stone
dig a little hole, not three inches round
spit your pit in the hole in the ground
weep upon the spot for the starving of me!
till up grow a fine young cherry tree
well when the bough breaks, what'll you make for me?
a little willow cabin to rest on your knee
what'll I do with a trinket such as this?
think of your woman, who's gone to the west
but I'm starving and freezing in my measly old bed!
then I'll crawl across the salt flats to stroke your sweet head
come across the desert with no shoes on!
I love you truly, or I love no-one
fire
moves
away
fire moves away, son
why would you say
I was the last one?
clear the room! there's a fire, a fire, a fire
get going, and I'm going to be right behind you
and if the love of a woman or two, dear,
couldn't move you to such heights, then all I can do
is do, my darling, right by you
that night, black airplanes flew over the sea
and they were lowing and shifting like
beached whales

O problema é que antes do Ys veio isto :
E depois do Ys veio isto :
O primeiro é uma coisa um bocado infantilóide e irritante e o terceiro... bem, no terceiro ela parece que decidiu ser mulher e livrar-se dos esquilos, fadinhas e bambis que a seguiam. O Ípsilon diz que gostou. Eu detestei. Para além de ter muito mais pianadas, o tom de voz é muito mais acessivel e melódico, não raras vezes a fazer mesmo mesmo lembrar a shôra Kate Bush.
O problema é que olho para as setlist dos últimos concertos e percebo que perdi a oportunidade de ver Joanna Newsom como realmente a gostaria de ver. É natural para quem tem músicas tão longas e complexas que tenha que, de álbum a álbum, abdicar de tocar grande parte das anteriores.
Claro que não deixarei de ir ver...mas fica desde já aqui a minha praga rogada a quem, em 2007, a viu no Theatro Circo.

analog love e etc.
(Mariana Lopes 2010)
Ontem, enquanto me divertia a fazer as minhas primeira provas de contacto - super-profissional, hum? - pensava num artigo que li há pouco tempo e numas conversas parisienses. Voltei a pensar nisso durante grande parte do concerto dos Sun Araw (no resto de tempo pensei na tese - psicadelismo a mais para mim).
O artigo abordava a questão de como, principalmente a partir da Revolução Industrial, nos temos tornado cada vez mais 'especializados' , e dava como exemplos opostos à especialização Pitágoras ou Leonardo da Vinci, senhores que no seu tempo eram uma espécie de humanos multitasking. O jornalista (épa, continuo sem me lembrar onde raio li a cena) não era ingénuo, claro, e salientava que a quantidade e meios de informação e conhecimento que existia na antiga Grécia ou no Renascimento não é comparável à actual.
No meu caso, ao invés de apostar na especialização - acredito que encaixes de caixilhos ou arquitectura dos mosteiros cistercienses sejam assuntos deveras interessantes - resolvi andar a deambular entre arquitontices, cinema, design e fotografia (continuo a achar que a formação em arquitectura é um exelente ponto de partida - principalmente no que toca à percepção do espaço e à sua 'produção'), com resultados razoáveis, embora não tão consistentes como um certo grau de especialização em cada em deles me permitiria - o que não deixa de ser irónico.
Entretanto andei a experimentar a música . E aqui reside a desilusão. Consideraria que a minha formação clássica e a minha 'base de dados' me permitiria mover-me com facilidade na criação musical. Nada mais errado. Perco-me nas batidas, samples e instrumentos sem conseguir ter uma visão lógica do que estou a/quero criar.
Mas para quem não apresenta as mesmas dificuldades de multitasking aconselho vivamente o magnifico Audiotool :
Apesar da plataforma super acessivel e de certa forma lúdica, acho que me fico pelo Ableton Live,... embora tão cedo não o volte a abrir.
