Kiko Dinucci VHS

Dedeira, madeira, cordas, delay, fita magnética: ferro sobre ferro, madeira e ferro, elementos químicos extremamente suscetíveis à passagem do tempo. Som mecânico, delay curto, espetado no médio grave. Placebo VHS — lembra nome de livro do William Gilbson. Tu já viu Mangue Bangue? Sincar a versão de fita cassete q o mano gravou, mas foi impossível, pois a fita altera a velocidade. O VHS deteriora os agudos, deteriora os graves, torna tudo mais opaco. Como na imagem, que vai desbotando por conta do processo físico-químico: desgaste. Esse eu vi na cinemateca já uns 20 anos. Filme Inglês do Bressane, com o Guará, memórias… Da pra sacar uma estragada. Placebo VHS. Vou passar esses 20 mim de violão na fita VHS. A mesma é mesma coisa que acontece com a imagem, acontece com os sons. O HISSING — um assobio nos gramados de verão — remete a um horizonte tingido por anilina e óxido de ferro — o velho chá das 5. A compressão do VHS, que chapa o som, os médios mais chapados. Deterioração da matéria. Mídia véia, muito chiado… Baixa Essere Donne. Esse som já faz as cadeira mexer involuntariamente. Kiko gravou, passou no VHS, digitalizou o VHS, gerou um arquivo digital. Escaneou em 1200 dpi de diversas maneiras. Enviou os arquivos, Lucas fez a capa. Kiko desenhou a capa e devolveu a imagem para a matéria orgânica. Mas se Kiko não tivesse fechado o buraco com durex não teria conseguido gravar e a capa seria outra.

Fingertip, wood, strings, delay, magnetic tape: metal on metal, wood and iron, chemical elements that are extremely susceptible to the passage of time. Mechanical sounds, short delay, spiky in mid-bass. Placebo VHS — seems like a William Gilbson’s book title. Have you ever seen "Mangue Bangue"? Tried syncing the cassette tape version recorded by my pal, but it was impossible as the tape changes it's speed. VHS deteriorates the highs, the bass, makes everything more opaque. As it happens with images, which fades due to the physical-chemical process: detrition. That one I saw at the Cinematheque about 20 years ago. English film by Bressane, with Guará, memories… You can get a damaged one. Placebo VHS. I'm going to transfer these 20 minutes guitar pieces through the VHS tape. The same thing happens to the images, happens also to the sounds. The HISSING — a whistle on summer lawns — recalls a horizon tinged with aniline and iron oxide — the old 5pm tea. VHS compression, which flattens the sound, the flatter mids. Deterioration of matter. Vein media, a lot of hiss… Did you see Essere Donne? This sound already made somer chairs move involuntarily. Kiko recorded it, played through the VHS, digitilized the VHS, generated a digital file. Scanned it at 1200 dpi in several ways. He just sent the files to Lucas, whom made the cover. Kiko drawn the cover and returned the image to organic matter. But if he hadn't closed the hole with tape, he wouldn't be able to record on it and the cover would be different.
