Frederico Mendonca de Oliveira is the Brazilian guitarist responsible for this quasi-masterpiece. He was in famed prog rock outfit Som Imaginario that existed in the early 70s, so we can expect some wonderful things, but this was shocking indeed.
How fortunate we are that there are still undiscovered works like this out there, thanks to the perspicacious searching of others, that can still come to light. Could an AI craft this kind of artwork someday? I am very doubtful since they are bound by their own laws of mediocrity and averages.
Title track, and right from the initial chords you can tell you're in for a treat here with the added minor seconds on top, the strange el. guitar riff, etc. and as is typical in these progressive compositions, at the 2 minute mark, the song totally changes tempo and sound to slow acoustic as the guitar weaves odd patterns of bizarre dissonance in the distance, presumably representing those highly creative coloured rays of light emanating from the nearby star:

Thank you, Julian, for this record. I didn't have this one.
ReplyDeleteAlso the drummer Paschoal Meirelles has great work. I recommend the fourth album Pascoal Meirelles – Paula from 1990. He was member of Cama de Gato too: https://www.discogs.com/artist/594732-Cama-de-Gato
