M. Takara & Carla Boregas
Both crucial members of the Brazilian music scene, Carla Boregas and M.Takara have been playing as a duo since 2018. Together their music is the result of an interplay between drums and synths, blending Boregas’s aether and warmth electronics with Takara’s jazzy improvised percussion, somewhere between abstract improvisation and propulsive rhythm. The landscape they present is real and vibrant, sometimes brash, sometimes beautiful, rarely bland or ambivalent, an organic layering of manipulated synthesizers and acoustic sounds.
First linking minds on 2020’s "Linha D'Água" (Bokeh Versions), where they attempted to sounding the abstract and succeed in creating a mysterious and evocative soundtrack with water as a central element of inspiration. The aquatic theme is still present on the new release "Grande Massa D'Água" (Hive Mind Records). The dubbed-out, dreamlike gravity that anchored their debut was replaced by finely cracked filigree constructions that sound as if they might shatter at any moment, slipping through the cracks just like the water that informs their compositional process, coating the past and gushing forcefully into the future. From the fringes of jazz, electroacustic and electronica, they pour that experience into the immersive.
