Gezender’s fourth EP, presents 4 sound pieces: Starting with “Cuerpo”, a track without vocals focused on movement. Followed by “Corpo Fechado”, with the participation of Linn da Quebrada, is the densest of the work. The following tracks, "War" and "Ambient War", feature Bruno Mendonça and bring a more intimate and contemplative atmosphere. Corpo can be thought of as the first step to other actions and experiments.
The philosophical concept of Atopy is linked to the idea of absurdity. Later on, it gained new meanings as notions of “non-place”, “unclassifiable” or “unnameable”. The term points to a quality of experience that would be precisely in the difficulty of answers, on the problematic of mythological and romantic projections and also in the failure of objectification. And it is this universe that the artist and music producer Gezender presents in his new work, the Corpo EP, released on May 14 by MambaREC.
Featuring Linn da Quebrada and Bruno Mendonça, Gezender takes a chance of bringing together different artists who, each in their own way, have worked on the unraveling of language in their productions. In the musical field, Linn relates this to issues of race, gender, and class. Bruno Mendonça has been proposing this in the scope of contemporary literature and art, addressing themes such as pink money and viruses.
“Corpo is an EP that was born during this pandemic period, where I had the chance to look more at myself and understand the body as a whole, its own rhythm, needs, hormones, pleasures, and fragilities. There is a mixture of feelings very characteristic of the moment we are going through, sometimes contemplative, sometimes full of conflicts. I tried to extract the beauty of these antagonistic emotions, without forgetting the dystopian feeling that permeates the present, between peace and anguish, but with some breath that makes me someone on the path to healing and comprehension" explains Gezender.
