DOPO porto based five piece experimental ambient folk outfit. good stuff. seemingly active 2004-2009, last posting a retrospective compilation in 2019.
mário lopes wrote the sleevenotes, he opens browser window after browser window looking for their history.
'in the middle of the process that purpose faded from my thinking and the sound took over the operations. this sound: I found myself in the center of an orchestra born before my ears unexpectedly. the acoustic and electric guitars, the harmonics, the tambourines, the ferrinhos, the rattles, the melodies, the layers of noise processed by pedals that the DOPO manipulated so that the voices were different and the guitars and keyboards stopped being exactly keyboards and guitars...'
it's horsemouth AM. a slow starting day. horsemouth is (local) history the fall of the house of fitzgerald has been added to tower hamlets local history archive. one day aliens will land. survey the ruins. look at all the hard drives and find horsemouth and enza playing dress up.
horsemouth is reading james sallis's time's hammers. there's a jerry cornelius story. the west collapses, london burns, there are corpse barges everywhere on the river, jerry and michael moorcock sit out on the balcony in a modernist riverside des res and watch it all come down.
the current torypocalypse is not a bit like this. there is cronyism and corruption. strangely people are not e-baying their way through the crisis like horsemouth assumed, online sales are not up (much) but physical sales are very down. we are in penitential lent. the economy is most excellently tanked (and we haven't even had brexit yet).
horsemouth has sent a message to sean (long time no see - get in touch dude). yesterday
horsemouth was getting over tired. at 2.55 he was cursing the air black and blue, slamming doors, drawers, threatening kettles and demanding vengeance. at 5pm he was done. he had a beer and was laughing at a compilation video of people getting seriously hurt doing dangerous stunts.
