Chuva

| Notas

Amidst wars, environmental catastrophes, and ever growing inequality, Ascalapha looks for post-apocalyptic optimism. More and more, it seems we are losing the ability to dream another life, other possibilities. In books, films, and nightmares, we mirror the dystopia that feeds from the present of destructive capitalism. How can we dream another future? Looking for answers, Raul Costa presents his new moniker after 20 years as Retrigger. Powerful bass, fractured percussion, digital synthesizers, and experimentalism are the ingredients for a science-fictioned utopia, for overcoming the capitalist realism that manages to imagine the end of the world but not the end of the structure that will destroy it. The single has 3 tracks: in the title track “Chuva” (Rain), Raul uses his voice in lyrics to talk about the desire for, although lost, hope. The poet Jeanne Callegari collaborates in the track “Digitais” (Digitals or fingerprints), and the Belo Horizonte artist untilde makes a remix of the title track. This is the first release by the publisher Leviatã with SUMAC, which is also a webzine, video and content creator, and culture soviet in São Paulo, showing the most incredible electronic music made in the third world. The work was released with a video made by Iago Mati.
