Ploc Munster, an offshoot of Micose & the Mau Maus , offers a texturally
rich and disorienting aural experience; interweaving start/stop blasts
with thick slabs of drones, processed field recordings, and crackling
electronics with gurgling sounds only a slobbering humanoid orifice can
create. With analog hiss featured side by side with digital crispness,
Ploc Munster attempts to create rich sound collages that constantly shift,
with no beginning or end in sight.
Here's the bio the organizers for the Caroliner show this year had to offer:
"Sao Paulo
is known for giant blocks of spread out super
apartment complexes that were supposed to be the wave of the
future. Parts of the city practices Umbanda . This religion is
based on a pantheon of strange human creatures, saints, jesus,
divine beings and tortured slaves. Possession of one of these
ghosts makes for great entertainment when you couple it with
modern digital equipment, chewed tin sythesizer pocket amps,
and oscillating evil eyes. Ploc Munster has a million and one
sounds he works with as well as the bizarre “ponto†machine
divining that which (or witch) comes with the Umbanda con-
sequence.The live show is a cross between a battle of ampli-
fied insect vs. tv antennae interferrence, and collapsing bodies
of truffle fluffed candy gods with horns and whistles made of
human skeletons . Almost completely indescribable joys abound
with this cornucopia of sound."
Nevermind that Ploc is originally from Brasilia , not SP.
