about

We enter spring time with ocp’s (aka operador de cabine polivalente) long play "Soon”.

We suggest you dive into the extensive João Ricardo´s discography, which can lead us to the most startling discoveries through the plethora of references and resonances of various musical stops this media artist/musician/sound technician/label owner - among many other things - incorporates in his compositional multipurpose.

ocp´s musical opening is enviable and transparent, with a great ability to dominate and morph the sound field language.

"Soon" transports us with 17 songs to where we go defoliating the dub presence in organic landscapes and subtle electronics, malleable as water.

Rhythms sometimes marked or dissolved in space, punctuate this organism, unfolding from ambient to dubby minimalism a rich visual and microscopic world, where here and there lurk funk bass, techno bleeps and clicks recorded in the fragility of biosphere’s tissue.

Quoting ocp, about his sound practices "there is rhythm, but this is subtly given by little noises that repeat at times, the modulations applied to the "pads" and the sensation of a wave in the background sound."
An intriguing nature to get lost, where no map is required.

Entramos na Primavera com o long play "Soon" de ocp (aka operador de cabine polivalente).

Propomo-vos a mergulhar na extensa discografia de João Ricardo (joaoricardo.org), que nos pode levar às mais supreendentes descobertas, através da plétora de referências e ressonâncias de várias paragens musicais que este artista multimédia/ músico/técnico de som - entre muitas outras coisas - incorpora na sua polivalência composicional. A sua abertura musical é invejável e transparente, com uma grande capacidade de domínio e transformação da linguagem do campo sonoro.

Soon transporta-nos com 17 temas, por onde vamos desfolhando a presença do dub em paisagens orgânicas e de electrónica subtil e maleável como a água.
Ritmos ora marcados, ora dissolvidos no espaço, pontuam este organismo que se vai desdobrando do ambient ao dub minimal
num mundo microscópico rico e visual, onde aqui e ali espreitam baixos funk, bleeps techno e clicks gravados no tecido frágil da biosfera.

Citando ocp, acerca das suas práticas sonoras "há ritmo, mas este é dado subtilmente pelos pequenos ruídos que se repetem a espaços, pelas modulações aplicadas aos "pads" e pela sensação de onda do som de fundo."
Uma natureza intrigante para nos perdermos, onde não é necessário mapa.
