Catalog no: BI32

In an unusual collaboration between a Brazilian artist and a Chinese label, Numa Gama returns with a left-field take on her music-making, A Spectral Turn. Inspired by Derrida’s Hauntology, and the post-capitalist instigations of Anna Tsing, she weaves an eerie and cold subtropical soundscape that explores themes of freedom and imagination amidst the ghosts that inhabit today’s world.

Each track here unfolds like a vignette, as translucent synth lines float independently, accompanied by abstract sounds and glitches. This amalgamation creates a rational yet cozy stream of consciousness, guiding the listener through the haunted corridors of the memories of the past, ideas of the present, and miscarriages of the future. To summon these ideas, Numa Gama draws a parallel between negotiating political change and making kin with her own creative desires.

Rather than providing nostalgic sensations or futuristic insights, A Spectral Turn acknowledges that history ends at every moment, and gives way to new beginnings, swarming with ghosts.

A few weeks ago, I woke up in bed to find a letter in my own handwriting.

"The Assembly of Many Names, duly convened and vested with authority across dimensions, hereby declares, as a matter of immutable principle, that tracks imbued with the memory of motion must not be confined or withheld. Such works, herein referred to as 'dance tracks,' are to spill freely into shadowed rooms, loud, unhindered and unbound. The practice of gatekeeping shall henceforth be abolished."

This could only mean one thing: it’s time to put together a new EP series. Starting with some tracks inspired by Tokyo's dancefloors I got to experience last summer. The next volumes will follow in their own time—every few months if I can keep up. I wouldn’t dare to challenge the Assembly.

Gatekept Dance Works Vol​.​1

Seven months have slipped by. No sleep‑scribbled letters, no words from the Council. After releasing Vol. 1, I thought I’d feel relief, even freedom to make new stuff—but all I felt was a ghostly insistence—as if there were a chore I had to complete first, something I’d forgotten about. I began treating that absence as a puzzle. What was it trying to show me? I pride myself on keeping things tidy—yet like any producer, I keep a graveyard of musical ideas. While poking around my hard drive, I stumbled on a couple of tracks set aside during the making of A Spectral Turn. Could that be it? Maybe they were just waiting for their moment.

So, for Volume 2, I’ve gathered those pieces—some sketched in studio sessions three years ago, others composed for my live‑sets that followed the album release.

Memórias de Oneyda was produced during the RMX residency held by São Paulo's public cultural center CCSP in celebration of the 85 years of the sound library Oneyda Alvarenga. All percussion, beats, harmonic layers used in the EP were extracted from the vast collection of the Discotheque - Most of the vocals were taken from the mission of folkloric research, idealized by Mario de Andrade in the ’30s. The track's sonorities were adapted to the texture and quality from the oldest recording - seeking for an intersection between contemporary sound and a 30’s acetate disc. As if it was an old recording from a parallel reality.

Microscopic Cookbook is the first album I have ever put out as "Gama." it was published in 2017 by the Osaka collective CHILLMOUNTAIN (♥), which distributed the Cassette in Japan. MC is a piece of music that could've been a movie but turned out to be an abstract radio drama. The 8-track tape tells us a semi-continuous Carrollian story with detailed, microscopic sounds. At the time, my addiction was collecting recordings and making these loose "ASMR" beats; that's how the album got its name.

For the 5th anniversary edition, I've added two tracks that were left out from the original tape, plus new, clearer mixes to give a new life to this record. This version is a modest, intimate celebration, a way to get to know each other better. While I work on new music, perhaps these tracks can show both of us some perspective of now & then.

So fasten your headphones! We are about to dive into a rabbit hole.

Recorded live at @refugeworldwide on 03/08/2023 

For this two-hour session, I've selected music according to the taste of Psycho and Cute, the cats I fostered on July 2023. You will find an array of hypnotic CV jams, emo baile funk, South American ambient sing-alongs, and that general ASMR candy from leftfield electronic producers. Music for the brain and heart to dance, no prescription needed. Purr-fect for cats and cat people.

Music for Cat Sitters with Numa Gama @ Refuge Worldwide

Breakbeat, Jersey, Baile Funk vocals in boomy, percussive tunes is what @ngama is serving today. 🎧 This girl is one of a kind. 🌟 One may say that the music she makes got some creative electronic deconstructions and an obsessive sound design 👾 Bandcamp Daily described it as "lithe club tracks that drip with an alluring mischievousness." 💧

❓Whatever that means, there is a chance it didn't sound like any of that to someone who has dug a bit into her craft. Mutant, unpredictable, witty, numa gama's appearances never disappoint. 🤸Her set for MostValuablePunany Mixtape Vol.2 is not any different. 🔄

Basic Needs with Valesuchi's Special Guest: Numa Gama

Numa Gama é uma artista multimídia e polímata sonora natural de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. Nos últimos nove anos, ela construiu uma extenso histórico de lives e DJ sets em 36 cidades ao redor do mundo e lançou um catálogo mutante de discos de vinil, mixtapes, EPs e uma fita cassete, em selos como bié Records, e Chill Mountain Rec. Pode-se dizer que sua música é definida por um sound design meticuloso, desconstruções eletrônicas e camadas pontuais de sua voz. Da mesma forma, foi descrita no Bandcamp Daily como "faixas de clube flexíveis que escorrem com uma cativante malícia" (2016) que “cultivam um mundo humido e convidativo” (2024). No entanto, há uma chance de que não tenha soado assim para alguém que a tenha visto ao vivo. Manifestando uma profunda e exêntrica pesquisa musical, as aparições de Numa Gama nunca deixam de surpreender.

music polymath @ngama and musical researcher and multimedia artist @kalozin bring to Alhara a two-hour selection of ambient, left-field, and free improvisation music from the global south. 

the Brazilian queer duo put together a slow-cooked storytelling from soothing ambiances and polyrhythmic hypnosis to more robust, divergent electronic forms. 

an ode to the relentless creativity of the global south, their set subtly resists and subverts northern dominance, showcasing underground artists from Brazil, Kenya, China, Argentina, Bolivia, Lebanon, Mexico, and beyond.

with love, for Palestine <3
