“I See Wind, I Hear Voices” is Tam’s debut on Wasser Bassin. The label’s second is now aimed to the dancefloor, and – we ought to say – it is a mean dancefloor: Powerful kick-drums, fat basslines and acid synths, all wrapped up in low-motion House dynamics.<\/p>\n
In the artist’s own words ” All the tracks tell a tale. I was interested in finding some meaningful words to go with the music. I wasn’t really into the “Oh, Yeah!” kinda stuff, manly because the tracks were a bit downtempo and something like that would sound frivolous, or too damn obvious. I was always fascinated by charismatic voices, so I chose the words of a deeply charismatic preacherman: Jim Jones. Oratory is very important, and he truly mastered this talent. Although, I am aware that Mr. Jones’ actions led to a terrible mass suicide, his words, when taken out of its gruesome context, sound fairly sensible… I could believe in those words, as if madness could make perfect sense in my daily life. This constitutes a very good example of a paradox, and all I did was adding some music to that paradox .”<\/p>\n
Well, lets prepare ourselves for the Disco-House Drama created by Mr. Tam!<\/p>\n
“And the beat goes on…”“I See Wind, I Hear Voices” \u00e9 a estreia de Tam na Wasser Bassin Records. O segundo lan\u00e7amento da editora revela-nos um registo mais dan\u00e7ante, cujo objectivo primordial \u00e9 o de contaminar as pistas de dan\u00e7a com batidas quentes e linhas de baixo robustas, tudo devidamente embrulhado em melodias \u00e1cidas, seguindo a boa tradi\u00e7\u00e3o do House.<\/p>\n
Parafraseando o autor “Todas as faixas contam uma hist\u00f3ria. Eu estava interessado em transmitir algo com significado. O corriqueiro ‘Oh, Yeah!’ que povoa quase toda m\u00fasica de dan\u00e7a n\u00e3o me cativa; primeiro, porque n\u00e3o se enquadra na din\u00e2mica da minhas m\u00fasicas; segundo, porque tal express\u00e3o tem um pendor um tanto ou quanto fr\u00edvolo, para n\u00e3o lhe chamar \u00f3bvio! As vozes carism\u00e1ticas sempre me fascinaram, pelo que escolhi as palavras dum pregador carism\u00e1tico: Jim Jones. A orat\u00f3ria \u00e9 dom de usar as palavras para atingir metas, talento que ele dominava com assinal\u00e1vel mestria. Fico algo perplexo comigo mesmo, mas acho justo afirmar que, apesar de estar ciente que as ac\u00e7\u00f5es do Sr. Jones culminaram num terr\u00edvel suic\u00eddio em massa, as suas palavras, quando postas fora do seu tenebroso contexto, soam-me bastante sensatas. Eu sinto-me capaz de acreditar nelas, como se a loucura fosse a parte mais l\u00facida do quotidiano. Isto \u00e9 um bom paradoxo… O que eu fiz foi juntar-lhe alguma m\u00fasica.”<\/p>\n
Bem, preparemo-nos para o Disco-House Drama do Sr. Tam!<\/p>\n
