Fernandes, Mane : Enter The sQUIGG <i>[Used Item]</i> (Clean Feed)

A unique album of oddly metered yet highly rhythmic jazz from guitarist and composer Mané Fernandes, a member of Pedro Alves Melo Omniae Large Ensemble, but more importantly, part of a scene he refers to as Post-Beat Aesthetics, merging electronic and synthetic elements into jazz form, a serious and diverting direction for creative improv and studio play.

"The young guitarist from Porto, Portugal, makes his decisive career statement as a composer with this album. Every move he did before, trade-marking a jumping rhythmic style of his own, was leading to "Enter the sQUIGG", a phenomenal treat about rhythm and its relationship with harmony and melody, informed by the many 'musics' of the African-American tradition.

Mané Fernandes studied with Petter Eldh, via RMC (Copenhagen), and through the rhythmic visions of this contrabassist and producer, plus the thorough study of Malcolm Braff's research. developed what he calls "Post-beat Aesthetics".

This release results directly from both influences, crosses them and mixes Fernandes' musical personality to the pulsatile discoveries made, here and there keeping an ear to other references- for instance, to Flying Lotus.

The music was recorded live and post-production in the studio was used as a creative tool; all the sound materials having been manipulated and (re)composed with."-Rui Eduardo Paes



"Random thoughts about each track.
- "And1 mixtape vol.5" and "The Notic 2" were once my favourite pieces of art in the world.
- What the hell is Luca playing in "Boom Boom Bap"? I swear it's his fault, I definitly didn't ask him to play all major pentatonics over these phrygian chords. I swear.
- Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaqSemXtgJA&ab_channel=CMCVISIONa2z and sing a long with Goyaweh.
-"PLRLT∞NFNT" is a bunch of Glitched out meters, nothings is what it seems. Also, Grains can travel through time apparently. You know how, when listening to old jazz records, sometimes you can hear the next phrase before it's actually played? Something to do with worn out vinyl I think. Well, we went for that on the guitar solo.
- Intro, theme and Outro. M i s s e d and m i s t sound similar. Things being similar but not the same is a big theme of this record.
-Makuma was my older brother's self-attributed childhood nickname. He was born in '79. The song is in Septuplets, morphs to 9/8. Absolute coincidence. The audio of him speaking was Luca's idea, it was randomly selected and it just fit perfectly. It's one of my favourite parts of the record.
-Pentagram makes me think about a fighting video game. Street fighter always seemed the coolest of all of them to me, but I was a Tekken kid. Hwoarang all day long you know?
Well, Barradas kicked my ass haha <3 "Nao vale estouros bro"-Mané Fernandes

Artist Biographies

"Mané Fernandes is a guitar player, composer and improviser based in Porto and Copenhagen.

He is part of a broad, musical experimental scene he likes to call Post-Beat Aesthetics.

The meeting of the "Jazz" (#BAM) tradition as an ever-inspiring source of depth and truth, with the fresh timbres and methodologies of electronic and sample based music(s) is where he finds his space.

Mané has worked with some of the leading figures in Jazz and Improvised music.

More recently he featured as part of João Barradas' "Home", Pedro Melo Alves' 24 piece "Omniae Large Ensemble", Orquestra Galego-Portuguesa de Liberación, "Quang Ny Lys" with João Mortágua and Rita Maria, as well as featuring soloist and arranger for Orquestra de Jazz de Matosinhos."

"Luca Curcio is an Italian bass player and composer living in Copenhagen (DK) since 2015.

Luca works on the border between Contemporary Jazz, Folk, and Free Improvisation. Very active both as a sideman and as a leader of his own projects, Luca toured and performed his music in Italy, Denmark, Russia, Poland, Germany, France, Tunisia, Spain, Netherland, England. He has worked with many international artists such as Jon Balke, Andy Sheppard, Gavino Murgia, Fabrizio Bosso, Gianluca Petrella, Camilla Battaglia, William Parker, Matthias Loibner, Emanuele Cisi and Raphael Imbert.

In 2018 Luca released his first album Sabir, realised with the project Free Humans aka Simone Bottasso on diatonic accordion, Enrico Degani on classical guitar and Ruben Bellavia on drums, with the special participation of the Sardinian saxophone player and multi-instrumentalist Gavino Murgia.

The album is inspired by the ancient Lingua Franca that was spoken throughout all of the Mediterranean sea (called Sabir). Luca composed the music thinking specifically for each one of the musicians of the band, who, like travelers from different lands and cultures, brought something unique from their own musical language. Like a melting pot, the music of Sabir echoes different worlds and references, ranging from Jazz to folk music and electronic landscapes."
