Tetine, Music For Breathing (video release)

 

 

“Music For Breathing” is the new video and single by the tropical mutant punk funk duo Tetine taken from their new album After the Future - out now on Slum Dunk Music, 2023.

 

Formed by Brazilian musicians/artists Bruno Verner, Eliete Mejorado and cellist Yoko Afi, Tetine have been producing a series of singular works intersecting electronic music, performance art, film/video, and spoken word, and acting in experimental contexts both in the music and art scenes since their creation in São Paulo in 1995.

 

“Music For Breathing” is a dreamy electro-acoustic meditation for cello, treated voices, electronics, and organ, dedicated to our planetary ecosystem in erosion.  Conceived by Eliete Mejorado, the video is an ode to Earth’s ancestral future as the only possible future. One that was already here: a non-human cosmic, forested and aquatic inherited future moved by the movement of rivers, trees, the stars, insects, birds, plants, landscapes, roads, stones, light, the sky, and the sun. It is a slow piece about electricity and a poetic allegory against the centrality of humans and capitalism as the mufflers of other presences.

 

“Music For Breathing” dwells on such complex relationships motivated by a strong desire for collective change, a shift towards a greater understanding of the cosmos without the need to produce for ‘progress’.

The track also comes with “Spaced Out in Paradise”, a washed out, hypnotic melancholic track sung by Yoko and Bruno as they search for another planetary contact.

Ahead of their headline show at London’s acclaimed Rich Mix venue on 19^th January, Brazilian tropical mutant punk funk trio Tetine launch a brand-new video for “Spaced Out in Paradise”, taken from their new album After the Future - out now on Slum Dunk Music, 2023.

The video for “Spaced Out in Paradise” was directed by Tetine’s vocalist/keyboard player Eliete Mejorado and recorded in different locations around greater London. It was conceived as an auto-philosophical-experimental sci-fi of a utopian, ecological and hallucinatory verve, articulated under distinct temporalities and spaces, where pasts, presents, futures (and non-futures) overlap amid a third new existential order yet to come. One apparent order that presents itself simultaneously as post-global and post-local, however in frank disintegration.

In this illusory non-place, Eliete Mejorado, Yoko Afi and Bruno Verner wander through a poetic sphere that is at the same time pastoral, numerical-digital, migratory, and aquatic in search of new possible utopias, latitudes, and longitudes in the cosmos, lulled by the icy, dreamy-lysergic atmosphere, and melancholy of “Spaced Out in Paradise” sung by Yoko and Bruno. In search of another planetary contact.

Spaced Out in Paradise is part of a series of poetic auto-fictions that will accompany the songs of After the Future and a striking taster of what to expect at Tetine’s upcoming 2024 London shows. DIY music of invention, independent, without handcuffs, and of strange beauty.
