Music is a time machine. From the ancient beat of a drum to the primal sound of a voice in song, archaic musical structures are found today in the circular beats of electronic loops. The electronic rite is shed in meaning through contact with personal and historical experience.
We are vampires. We feed hungrily from many sources.
We are amphibians. We survive in different enviroments. We claim many different heritages and cultural refferentes as our own.
We love the paradox of our history. We are at one with all of humankind. We can surf through electronics, computers and oral traditions alike.
We are from the third world. We are the New Barbarians conquering all with our rhythm that gets underneath the skin.
We suffer of Schizophonia (multiple sound personalities). Hybridization is not fusion. It`s contradiction and existence at the same time. It´s having different identities at the same time.
