Post-minimal indigenism

In 1986 I met Marvin Camacho-Villegas, since then a close friendship joins us. His music is a fundamental guide for my intellectual work and for the sound research that I develop. In 2013 I undertook a deconstructive project of his works inspired by the indigenous audible worlds of the Bribrí-Cabécar people. I carefully studied and shredded his "Bribri Meditation" (1984), the "Seven haikus" (2012), "Six sorbones" (2018), and "Kö yöno" (2018). This process transformed us mutually, his music ceased to be the same interpreted by him and virtuously replicated by other musicians. It became a research about sonic experimentation, spectral music and post-minimal indigenism. This justifies the title of the album: indigenae.

I made several recordings and presented his “haikus” and “sorbones” at the Spectra / International Festival of Electroacoustic Music 2018 in Bogotá, Colombia; in the University Museum of Contemporary Art - MUAC of Mexico City in 2019, and in the country where both born: Costa Rica. This deconstructive exploration was developed within the framework of my research on noise and interior coloniality. Consequently, this album is a log of that trip.
