Release Notes:
Telectu is a fundamental duo of new improvisation
formed by Jorge Lima Barreto and Vφtor Rua. Since
1982 this group has developed and introduced in
Portugal different musical typologies: art rock,
minimalism, live electronics, multimedia,
acousmatic, concret, and have linked their art to
performance, video, and installation.
Their creations are a landmark as a different
multimedia musical conception and their
instrumental and aesthetic heterodoxy (prepared
piano and guitar, piano string action, scratch and
noise, instrumental pluridisciplinarity,
percussion, digital controllers, sampler,
instrumental connections, digital apparatus, etc.)
are co-ordinated by a spontaneous energy, ad-lib,
real-time, fractal; their records are documents
that assert the duo as one of the most important
groups of new improvised music.
Jorge Lima Barreto ( b. 1949 ) began his career in
the late sixties with experimental music and free
jazz. He wrote books about different musical
typologies, like minimalism, jazz, rock, dance,
experimental and multimedia.
Vφtor Rua ( b. 1961 ) began his career in the late
seventies with a series of interventions that
changed the face of Portuguese pop/rock. In 1987,
in an act of autodidactic determination, he devoted
himself to the study of contemporary musical
notation. His work is characterized by a
variegated, embryonic post-modernism and an
empiricist rejection of cultural confines, and
reflects a transition from structured improvisation
to strict composition.
This is the first ever album released by the band,
called "CTU Telectu" from 1982 and so far only
existed in vinyl edition.
All the stuff was digitally remastered and this is
digipack release for fans and collectors.
Enjoy it and remember ... if you like it, buy it !
