I have a particularly strong attraction to Porto Alegre, Brazil. I have a few friends from there, one in particular who was a charmer, and it seems that everything from jazz to progressive rock seems to do well there.
This is the breeding ground of IO, a visual artist, scenographer, fashion designer, performer and musician from Porto Alegre. She uses a more cinematic approach to musique concrète music, and the pieces play like wordless stories that play for the cinema in your mind. It’s a very well-recorded album, easy to get lost in, and it was a pleasure to listen to.
