PRÉTU
SOBRE
In a recent esquizophónic surge xullaji became prétu an afronaut travelling in a sampledelic dimension. Samples are the portals of time, of intersection in the past, present, future spiral. Waveforms vibrating in the audible and inaudible spectrum reconnect fragments of messages absorbed in analogical circuits and retransmitted in ancestral african technology.
Timbres overlapped. At every loop turn, new timbres reveal. New voices. Black voices. There is no note, no scale. There is texture. Frequency. Harmonics full of effects that alter the state of consciousness.
Synthesizers accelerate sonic propulsive particles that allow us to cross black holes between parallel cosmic spaces.
Percussion is a time warper that expedites the pathway between tradition and future, in a nonlinear, chaotic way, without any befores and afters, beginning or end. The past rebounds from the future. There is no history, no progress, no time. There is just intuition: the receiver of interstellar messages inside prètu’s spaceship. Words crumble limited realities and stir molecules that open cracks in the multiverse of the quantic possibilities of being.
prétu´s visual work is also layering. Images intuited in dreams, hallucinations, remembrances juxtaposing with the present dimension. The so called reality. Yesterday and tomorrow line up in the tangential event called now, to break the timeline that whiteness call history. Former struggles are yet to come and ancestral myths are future technology.
After thousands of years navigating adrift in the sampledelik afro cosmo, some sporadic apparitions in the telescopes of the extraction spacial agencies, and five poorly deciphered communications, left in the digital imperialist archives, prétu launches his first extended communication: xei di kor 1.
“prétu 1 – Xei di Kor,” was realeased on the October 6th by prétu’s own label Tchada Elektro, after the singles “Waters,” “Fidju Maria,” “A Luta Continua,” “Xei di Kor,” as well as “Amor Di Uber,” which will be included in a second part.
