Tetine Vs Sophie Calle - Samba de Monalisa (2002)

Morning, here's a track from the Tetine Vs Sophie Calle's album "Samba de Monalisa", released in 2002, our second record produced in London. It will complete 20 years now in January 2022. I've been listening to it again, rediscovering it ... and relearning how to play some of its songs. This is "Amada Amante" - one of the closing tracks and one my favourite, (trk.11). Looking back, it is quite a nice record, and one of the reasons that we ended up staying in this country - we performed it many times in the UK and around Europe, and later in 2009 at Sophie Calle's exhibition 'Take Care of Yourself' in São Paulo at Sesc Pompéia. It was also once "electronica album of the month" at the deceased and saudosa Tower Records of Picaddily Circus - which, for us, was a big treat, and surprise at the time... you can imagine how it felt (if you know what I mean, and all the dillemas/questions related to shelving CDs in the 'right shelves') when me and Eli entered the shop and saw our CD spread around the electronica section, and also available in one of those listening posts that they used to have. Dream! Below is some of the praise it got at the time. Dig it ...also in all platforms through Slum Dunk Music.

"L’apport musical du duo Tetine donne aux quelques extraits narratifs ou de dialogues une force et une sentimentalié étonnantes. D’une très belle justesse. D’une just finnesse. L’albu prend vraiment une dimension de document sonore où les instantes clés du film son’t saisis, montrés puis étendus en des plages musicales que décortiquent la scène et la font apparaître a nu…’. Clarknova Magazine, France, June 2002
"El cine negro se refleja en los ambientes oscuros de 'Welcome To Las Vegas' y el romántico conecta con 'Music For Mechanics' debido sus violines y conversaciones. 'Sandalia Quebrada' vuelve a esa mezcla electrosamba y ambientes sintéticos aderezados por voces, esta vez sin un diálogo explícito. Más preciosista e actual es 'Hotel Madrid', tema que conecta con artificieros de la electronica como Múm'... Estamos pues ante un disco para los amantes de la música electrónica con aporte cinematográfico e experimental (aunque sin ecxesivos riesgo). Lo cual no es poco." Satelite Pop, Madrid, July, 2002
"Tetine, Brazilian artists Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado have created a dispassionate American travelogue of great tenderness and reserve. As male and female voices offer intimate insights into the directionless, inertial flow of their relationship, a sharply defined soundtrack follows them on a road trip from New York to Vegas…The televangelist rant, cool French tone and Hip Hop lope of the opening suggest an emotionally detached take on Jean Luc Godard’s classic debut Au Bout De Souffle but the mute longing of ‘Amada Amante’ and ‘I Met Him in The Bar’ go way beyond even that’. Ken Hollings, The Wire. June 2002
"Le travail de Tetine et Sophie Calle est à rapprocher de celui de Genesis P.Orridge dans so projet Splinter Test (Welcome to Las Vegas oú l’on perçoit la voix surnaturelle de Roy Orbison) ou bien encore des constructions méditatives de Stephen Jones (Hotel Madrid). Sur le plan de la narration, le glissement du privé au public, de l’intime à l’ouvre, cher à Sophie Calle, démontre avec brio qu’il existe des alternatives dignes aux cogitations loft-storyennes: le journal intime électronique…. La musique atosphérique et lointaine de Tetine apport un nouvel eclairage, inedit et enchanteur, aux autofictions de Sophie Calle'.4/5 Lionel Delamonte, Chronic’art, France, June 2002
"Um pouco como a própria Sophie Calle, o Tetine quer refletir sobre dois eixos. As conexões possíveis entre a 'alta cultura' e os mass media e entre o público e o privado (..) Samba de Monalisa recupera de certa forma o viés experimentalista e falado de Alexander's Grave, o álbum de estreia de 1996. Nesse, o 'gatilho' não era o cinema mas o teatro e literatura com fragmentos de textos de Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Strindberg Musset e outros". Alex Antunes, Revista Bravo, Brazil, Set, 2002
‘Fave tracks are 'No Sex Last Nigh' and 'Amada Amante'. Even though it is really quite complex and multilayered, repeated listening is rather rewarding. It is actually quite an accessible album, given the right exposure it could be a cult crossover, attains cult status and so much publicity that it crosses over into mainstream popularity’. Clive Craske, Jazzical Gaz, April 2002
‘…atmospheric mysterious film dialogue drifting darkly across some strangely scratched electronic riffs. Why you ask? Because the São Paulo based duo Tetine have a thing about the cult French artist called Sophie Calle'. Robert Sandall, Mixing it, BBC Radio 3, April 2002"
Recommended tune: 'No Sex Last Night' - Tetine vs Sophie Calle. BBC Radio 1, June 2002
Recommended electronica album of the month. Tower Records, May 2002.
'Impresario of indulgence Ian White and Brazilian performance duo Tetine deliver a seriously whacked out evening of mixed media mayhem that covers all the bases and barely stops for breath. Tetine themselves are launching their new dirty beats/ found voices cd made in collaboration with following artist Sophie Calle; there's image work from them, videos by Queen of Endurance Art Marina Abramovic and the marvelous Chicks on Speed; and more much more is promissed. From hybrid to hola!, high culture to 'Here She is Again', why not shake your booty at WAG this Friday?' GE, Time Out London, June 2002

THE ETHER - Prelude No. 1 by Tetine & Yoko Afi - a film-performance conceived for the Pink Umbrellas Art Residency / Aug 2020



TETINE & YOKO AFI

THE ETHER – Prelude No.1 THE ETHER is a reflective sonic-aphasic (dis)rhythmic meditation in the form of a prelude (for cello, dance, waste, air, wind, body and breathing). The piece comprises of 7 distinct yet complementary slow movements that explore the atmospherics and metaphysics of untamed syntaxes of time, space, voice, rhythm and breathing. The prelude speaks of stillness, becomings, luminosities, value, respiration, and body fluids, as it investigates the ghostly presences/absences manifested in the landscape through sound, dance, gesture and silence - whilst responding to the secret ontologies of inanimate objects, architectures, the politics of dreams as well as, the echoes and ethics of the modes of operating things. Conceived as an ode to the poetics of slowness, suspension, divinity, unfitness and wait, The Ether echoes the uncapturable, and echoes Tetine's recurrent and unconditional love for Beckett’s philosophical theatrics of existence, un-communicability and non-performance.

Bruno Verner, August 2020 The Ether – Prelude No. 1 (in 7 movements) 1. Prologue 2. Aphasia, waste and pine 3. The Air is The Same 4. Disritimia (Un) clock 5. My boots don’t fit, my feet hurt 6. San Sebastian Doll 7. They Call Us for An Encore Original music: Yoko Afi and Tetine Cello, trumpet, voice: Yoko Afi Piano, voice, dance: Bruno Verner Electronics, sampling, editing and fx: Eliete Mejorado TETINE are ELIETE MEJORADO and BRUNO VERNER. BRUNO VERNER is a Brazilian, London-based composer, artist and poet. With ELIETE MEJORADO, he formed TETINE - a hybrid tropical-mutant-punk-funk organism born in São Paulo in 1995. Since then both artists have created a multitude of performance, sound and art-related works from the spoken word to electronica, including ritualistic performances, installations, radio, film & video and independent curatorial projects. http://www.tetine.net/ YOKO AFI is a young cellist and composer based in London. She has recently been awarded the Joan Scrutton’s Awards for Young Musicians in the UK to study at the prestigious Guildhall Junior School of Music and Drama. Yoko has written and performed the original music for The Ether - Prelude No.1. INTERNATIONAL ONLINE ARTISTIC OCCUPATION Artistic occupation that will show every Monday, at 5 pm GTM-3, the experience of artists from different areas and different places, which they gather to create from a distance and immerse themselves in an experience of language displaced from each artist's "common place", in addition to thinking the Internet itself as a creative and amplified possibility.


[PT] O ÉTER - Preludio No.1 O ÉTER é uma meditação sônica-afásica reflexiva (des) rítmica na forma de um prelúdio (para violoncelo, dança, resíduos, ar, vento, corpo e respiração). A peça é composta por 7 movimentos lentos, distintos, mas complementares, que exploram a atmosfera e a metafísica de sintaxes indomadas de tempo, espaço, voz, ritmo e respiração. O prelúdio fala de quietude, devires, luminosidades, valor, respiração e fluídos corporais, pois investiga as presenças / ausências fantasmagóricas que se manifestam na paisagem através da som, dança, gesto e silêncio - enquanto responde às ontologias secretas de objetos inanimados, arquiteturas, a política dos sonhos, bem como os ecos e a ética dos modus operandis das coisas. Concebido como uma ode à poética da lentidão, suspensão, divindade, incapacidade e espera, O Éter ecoa o incapturável e ecoa o amor recorrente e incondicional de Tetine pelo teatro filosófico existencial de Beckett, incomunicabilidade e não performance. TETINE é ELIETE MEJORADO e BRUNO VERNER. BRUNO VERNER é um compositor, artista e poeta brasileiro radicado em Londres. Com ELIETE MEJORADO, formou o TETINE - um organismo híbrido tropical-mutante-punk-funk nascido em São Paulo em 1995. Desde então, os dois artistas criaram uma infinidade de trabalhos performáticos, sonoros e artísticos, da palavra falada à eletrônica, incluindo performances ritualísticas, instalações, rádio, filme e vídeo e projetos curatoriais independentes. YOKO AFI é uma jovem violoncelista e compositora radicada em Londres. Recentemente, ela recebeu o Prêmio Joan Scrutton para Jovens Músicos no Reino Unido para estudar na prestigiosa Guildhall Junior School of Music and Drama. Yoko escreveu e executou a música original para O Éter - Prelúdio No.1.

Tetine talk for The School of The South @Studio Voltaire.


TROPICAL MUTANT PUNK FUNK talk at The School of The South

Bruno Verner and Eliete Mejorado discuss Brazilian Post Punk scene, DIY Tropical culture and the emergence of an underground post-tropicalist sensibility. From the last years of military dictatorship to the country's subsequent re-democratisation process, Brazilian post punk was instrumental in forging an experimentalist and yet popular public sphere. 
Drawing on Tetine’s albums The Sexual Life of the Savages (Soul Jazz Records) & Slum Dunk Presentes Funk Carioca (Mr Bongo Records), this talk explores an intense period of collectivism and DIY production of music, text, art & performance. 

The School of the South: Lessons in Latin American Art
Convened by Sol Calero & Isobel Whitelegg

Saturday 21st November 2015
Over time the term Latin American Art has accumulated different associations. It structures knowledge and shapes expectations, while at the same time being strategically appropriated or subverted by artists, curators, and critics. The aim of this day is not to debate the validity of the term ‘Latin American Art’ but rather to think about the meanings it has gained through past and present practices, and how this inherited category can be used or negotiated.

Morning Class, 11am – 1.30pm
Three informal presentations by Juan Pedro Fabra Guemberena; Jaime Gili & Lucia Pizzani, and Bruno Verner & Eliete Mejorado (Tetine). 
Afternoon Class, 2.30 – 4.30pm
A discussion with Alessio Antoniolli, Tanya Barson & Kiki Mazzucchelli

Mutt, Divergência Socialista, Ida & e Os Voltas & O Grito Mudo  – over a period spanning from 1984-1990.  His early sound work is compiled in limited cassette tapes & compilations such as Lilith Lunaire by Divergência Socialista, R. Mutt (R. Mutt), Mulata Urbana (O Grito Mudo), Jovens Raptados (Ida & Os Voltas) ‘Substancia’ – (Marcelo Dolabela & Divergência Socialista).

CORRESPONDÊNCIAS - THE 4TH WORLD

O trabalho é melancólico, reflexivo, crítico. Tem uma catarse silenciosa nele e tem também o estranhamento Brecthiano de maneira bem marcante….por enquanto estamos seguindo nesse mood.

The 4th World evoca a ilusão de um 'futuro-mentira' que nunca chega…. como um ‘futuro-perdido' que esta sempre atrelado a um passado recente ou mesmo distante que ja foi vivido, uma expectativa. 

O mood é atmosférico, oceânico-experimental com elementos biológicos, imagens formalistas, cotidianas, textuais, motivos teóricos, desconstrução.….tem algo a ver com performances do Tetine que fazíamos no começo....com um caráter meio 'punk pos-estruturalista' e expressionista ao mesmo tempo. 


O trabalho examina a impossibilidade de ‘troca’ - afetiva, cultural, psicológica, linguistica, emocional  - em situações de precariedade no sentido filosófico e ecológico dessa ideia. Ele investiga a relação entre precariedade e transcedência. E também a impossibilidade de ENTRAR em transcendência no presente-perpétuo. 

A impossibilidade da troca e de ação entre as pessoas e também entre as "linguagens” no sentido semio-capitalista do termo.

Diria que tem algo apocalíptico sim, e é um tanto niilista tb.  Pelo menos ate agora... 

Acho que eh isso.

Beijos
Bruno 

Responding Lucas Bambozzi's questions on the creative process for THE 4TH WORLD.
**********************************************************

Queridos, me contem umas infos a mais sobre o THE 4TH WORLD?
Não é só mera curiosidade, é que estou escrevendo o texto de apresentação.
Queria saber cosas do tipo: _é triste? _tem algo de apocalíptico? _catártico? _é celebratório de algo? de um final de tempos? _ as imagens mostram o quê? vocês mesmos? podem mencionar 3 ou 4 elementos ou imagens reincidentes? _tem alguma coisa que vocês identificam como elemento essencial? _é mais pra multifacetado ou mais pra minimal?
Esses pontos são os que mais interessam no momento.
Beijos
