“Sound Mind Sound Body<\/strong>” was inspired in part by the working principles of Fripp & Eno, extrapolated by Rafael<\/strong> via a unique signal path leading out of his guitar. He paid notice to the massive impact of discreet gestures, creating slow-moving tones and spacious orchestral resonances, drifting and droning with glacial majesty, hardly recognizable as guitar much of the time.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first pieces were recorded in 1987; in 1994, a collection was released on Portugal’s AnAnAnA, producing an hour\u2019s worth of remarkable sonic equilibrium in this mode. With each subsequent reissue, however, aspects of this sound have been subtly revisited.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the 1998 Moikai CD, “AE 1”, one of the earliest pieces conceived, was newly recorded; for the 2018 Drag City LP master, \u201cTextura e Linhas Curvas\u201d was included, “AER 7 E” was re-recorded and the material for “AE 2” was recorded for the first time ever. These performances were executed using the same processes as the original ones.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For the current CD, \u201cLoopability II\u201d has been recalled from the AnAnAnA master, \u201cTextura e Linhas Curvas\u201d omitted and yet another brand new version of \u201cAER 7E\u201d inserted in place of the 2018 version. Incredibly, all of these changes augment Sound Mind Sound Body<\/strong>\u2019s expansive intent without altering its essential otherworldly atmosphere. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
