Understated voice and drone thing from\u00c2\u00a0S\u00c3\u00adria<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0on her\u00c2\u00a0Cuspo<\/g><\/em>\u00c2\u00a0(CR\u00c3\u201cNICA<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0142-2018) cassette, which has been executed quite simply by recycling field recordings and old LP records, creating sounds on which S\u00c3\u00adria intones and chants her vocal additions. Despite the slow pace, near-whispered method, and unvarying tone, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s still power to it; she manages to instil<\/g> every moment with a certain amount of menace, as if she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some implacable supernatural force, a revenant come to exact justice against the world. Diana Combo is the real name of this murmuring agency; she also performs as Eosin,<\/g> and has appeared with the David Maranha Ensemble, a troupe of Portuguese superstars. The work may have its origins in an attempt at playwriting, or at least to create incidental songs to be used on stage;<\/g> but it took a different turn, and much spontaneity was used in the creation of these barely-existing songs. The droning effects were added in the studio at the last stage of production; John Grzinich recorded some of this, and avant-garde heavyweights Joe Colley and Antoine Chessex are among those credited with the musical dimensions. A shady spookster<\/g> for modern times. Ed Pinsent<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
