about

Porto-based musician Victor Negri, under his solo project Arubu
Avua, is set to release his upcoming album titled "Sujos Brilhos" on
the 08. September 2023. The seven-track release will be available on
cassette and digitally on Berlin-based music and art label
Unguarded.

"Sujos Brilhos" offers a dynamic blend of minimalist guitar-driven
compositions infused with abstract, sometimes discordant
instrumental sequences. Negri, through Arubu Avua, has artfully
incorporated a melange of diverse influences spanning free folk,
Clube da Esquina, noise, ambient, and experimental electronics. The
result is a sonically unconventional structure steeped in a DIY, lo-
fi aesthetic.

The album signifies a fresh start for Negri, who recently emerged
from a challenging period of creative and personal transformation.
The title, which roughly translates to "tarnished shine," alludes to
the exploration of themes such as the passage of time and the
pursuit of authenticity amidst imperfection. These ideas are
reflected in the layered noise and instability that define the
album's sonic palette, and resonate within lyrics like "ouro fruto
do caos" ("gold is a fruit of chaos"). Echoes of Negri's debut album
"Protocosmos" (2014) can be found within "Sujos Brilhos," including
the return of cover artist Caio Guedes and the incorporation of a
decade-old monochord he built.

"Sujos Brilhos" further develops the signature mix of Negri's
songwriting and abstract passages, albeit with a reduced emphasis on
electronic elements compared to earlier works. His recent
collaboration with the free improvisation scene, primarily as a
guitarist, has left an indelible mark on the album through an
amplified presence of prepared guitar and the involvement of guest
artists such as Teresa Riemann (drums), Rodrigo Constanzo
(percussion/electronics), and Lea Taragona (guitar/electronics).
Negri and Taragona notably performed together as the free folk
improvisation duo Sumimasen throughout 2022.
Look for "Sujos Brilhos" on cassette via Unguarded and digital
platforms including Bandcamp and major streaming services. To
