DAVID MARANHA & HELENA ESPVALL - SOMBRAS INCENDIADAS
three:four records, 2015 (TFR027)
http://www.three-four.net/releases/TFR027

OUT IN JANUARY 13, 2015

Helena Espvall first met David Maranha in 2006 when her band Espers played a show in Lisbon. They played two gigs the following year, and Espvall contributed to Maranha's 'Marches of
the New World'. Since then they always had the intention of working together more extensively and once Espvall moved to Lisbon two years ago they had no more excuses.

Sombras Incendiadas ("Exploding Shadows") features Espvall on amplified cello and Maranha on electric organ and amplified violin. Espvall has an amazing cello sound, kind of Velvet Underground, while David Maranha is in the vein of La Monte Young or Tony Conrad. As a duo, they create heavy drones with delicate harmonics behind the wall of sound. The textures are raw, the compositions are minimalistic, and the riffs are heady. The repetitive patterns played very loudly create a monolithic, hypnotic, and time­stopping album.

Sombras Incendiadas is available on LP (with a download coupon) and digitally.

from the 'SUN EMBASSY'  lp :::

Roaratorio's survey of the unheard Sun Ra continues with Sun Embassy.  Consisting of recordings from Sun Studios (aka Ra's house in Philadelphia) from 1968-1969, the album features nine tracks : six compositions which have never been heard before in any form, plus fresh coats of paint on such 1950s classics as "Sunology" and "Ancient Aiethiopia," and an early rendition of "Why Go To The Moon?".  Essential listening for Sun Ra devotees.  Download coupon included.
