Camadas de electrónica interligam-se para criar um ambiente profundamente
etéreo e onírico. As vocalizações femininas em duo ou isoladas criam texturas
suaves que nos permitem viajar para outros locais, aqueles dos nossos sonhos,
crípticos na sua beleza, mas estranhamente familiares.
Entramos no território de Indi, o nome usado por Indira Force, uma
compositora contemporânea da Nova Zelândia que lançou o seu LP de estreia a
solo o ano passado, intitulado Precipice. Anteriormente, Indi editara Wasting em 2016 com a sua banda
Doprah.
Indi também trabalhou em cinema, compondo a banda-sonora de alguns filmes,
tais como, Happy Playland, Tragicomic, Daniel e Toothfish.
O carácter cinemático da sua música, faz com que lhe seja mais fácil apreender
a linguagem da sétima arte, estabelecendo uma ponte entre a arte musical e a cinematográfica.
Perguntámos a esta jovem compositora as suas recomendações para 5 livros, 5
discos, 5 filmes/séries e eis as suas respostas:
Livros:
- A Tale for the Time Being, Ruth Ozeki

Layers of electronica intertwine to create an environment that is deeply
ethereal and oniric. The female vocals in duo or solo create soft textures that
allow us to travel to other places, those of our dreams, cryptical in their
beauty but strangely familiar.
And so we enter Indi’s domain, the name used by Indira Force, a contemporary
composer from New Zealand that released her debut LP last year called Precipice.
Previously, Indi had released Wasting in 2016 with her band Doprah.
Indi has also worked in film, composing the soundtracks of several
features, such as, Happy Playland, Tragicomic, Daniel and Toothfish.
The cinematic quality of her music, makes it easy for her to absorb the language
of the seventh art, establishing a bridge between the musical and the
cinematographic arts.
