Som/o Jogo Das Mutacoes (box)
What is the object with the most sensational magical and alchemical properties, if not glass? A permeable membrane that
filters the real through the unconscious, an access portal with divinatory and therapeutic qualities, the glass has
always been seen as the guardian of daring allegories and symbols. Aware of this, the artist Roberto Campadello
conceived 'The Game Of Persona', in the context of an installation for the XII Biennale of Sao Paolo in 1973.
Discovering the visual properties of gilded glass, he investigated the effects of the overlay of images, a mysterious
moment of transparency in which two single people melt into the reflection of the image, creating a single fantastic
person. Thus, his "Casa Dourada", also became the space for "Intro-nautical Journeys": meditations and cosmic dances.
The history of this LP (originally published in a 10" box set in 1975) starts right to support those collective
initiation sessions. Each track is inspired by an I Ching element (Mountain, Heaven, Earth, Water, Lake, Wind) which
represented a primary source of inspiration for Campadello. The dreamlike and occult sound not only suggest the
atmosphere of that experience but still reveal the echoes of the best season of the Brazilian rock and Tropicalismo. The
music has been composed and played by Roberto Campadello and the Brazilian super-star guitarist Luis Carlini, the leader
of Rita Lee's band Tutti Frutti. Fuzz guitars, dirty percussion, Echoplex delays, are the perfect elements for the
final trip into your own consciousness. The boxset editin includes the 'Som' LP with 2 bonus tracks not released on the
original 10" issue, a 24 page booklet, a poster with game instructions (70x50cm), a Persona mirror (31x26cm), 2 mirror
supports, 2 candles, 2 candle handguards and the mulher-gato box. Co-produced with Nada Nada Discos.
