Sounds Like: about "OUTUBRO":
Double disc set that features one solo acoustic disc and one solo electric disc from this great Portugese improvising guitarist that Derek Bailey named as one of the few interesting musicians currently orbiting the planet of free sound. And while it's true that Bailey must've heard a little of himself in aspects of Mota's angular, percussive style and his fondness for dead-stop harmonics there's much more to his playing than mere 'improv' form. Indeed, the overall late-night quietly thought-out atmosphere reminds me most of Keiji Haino's Change The Shape/Remove The Colour series of vaguely jazz-inflected home recordings along with aspects of Masayuki Takayanagi's pointillist work circa Lonely Woman and even some of the lonesome string grunt of Guitar Roberts. This is free, hermetically profound six-string alchemy rendered with a delicate, calligraphic ear for awkward personal detail.
