Urbano Mistica Amplitude

Gato Leiras & Michael Renkel
powerbooks

Urbano Mistica Amplitude is a reaction.
The music is non-hierarchical,

an imprecise echo and reflex,

an interpretation of the Object Trouvé - of the omnipresence of sound,

of the communication of human beings among the chaos of traffic and promenades,

among social/emotional ghettos and office buildings - the heartbeat of the city,

the poetry of coldness.

u.m.a. investigates in an ‘open and mobile composition’ process (Evangelisti)

the possibilities of mutation of reality, and gives as a feedback this heterogeneity

of time inversion/distortion.

The duo continuously recycle their own musical output, without obtaining a finished work

but constructing loops that modify themselves in the filter of memory.

The individually processed sampled materials serve as a base, and only become a final product

during the live performance - which is at the same time a permanent work in progress.
