About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Fernando Lopes-Graca and Amilcar Vasques-Dias are linked in their musical reflections on Portuguese identity, but at widely differing points in that country's history. Lopes-Graca transformed traditional songs into poetic and hard-edged statements, helping to create a 'national collective spirit' that would not be bowed by dictatorship. Vasques-Dias's approach to folk culture is based on more personal feelings and emotions, recalling the countryside of his childhood and it's landscapes today. Joana Gama is a Portuguese pianist who has participated in multiple projects, both as a soloist and within collaborations, not only in classical music, but also in the fields of cinema, dance, theatre, and experimental music. This recording is the outcome of years dedicated to the research and performance of Portuguese music. In 2017, Gama defended her doctoral thesis 'Performance studies on Portuguese contemporary music for piano the particular case of evocative music of elements of the Portuguese culture' at the University of Evora, with a scholarship granted by the Portuguese government.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression.
