Special Huaca Packaging, 7 Compact Disc + 2 DVD + Booklet

RESOUNDING HUACA is Manongo Mujica’s ambitious sound project to bring together a seven CD and two DVD production, in a unique packaging in the shape of a Huaca made out of fine wood. Part of what Mujica has produced in the last twenty years exploring sounds to invoke that ancestral and avantgarde is compiled here. Free improvisation, ritualism and exploration of jazz fusion.

RESOUNDING HUACA

Note to deepen its significance.

Huaca means sacred thing. A Huaca is an object, a phenomenon, a place or being in which the force of that which is sacred has concentrated.

From his origins, man perceived whatever sacred in the landscape. Nothing is more evident in relationship with primitive religiousness than the cult to nature.

Relevant places were the target. Caves, oasis, dunes, mountain tops, islands, woods and forests, deserts, stones, swamps, mountains exacerbated the emotionality of individuals.

Terror, exaltation, lyricism, desolation, lucidity, mystery are sensations that were reflected on the landscape.

(text by Brignardello)

Divinity reveals it is free to adopt any form. That whichever sacred is qualitatively different from profane but it can manifest itself in any form and in any location within the profane world.

(text by Eliade)

HUACA SONORA

Notas para profundizar el significado de esta

Huaca quiere decir cosa sagrada. La huaca es un objeto, fenómeno , lugar o ser En la cual se han concentrado las fuerzas de lo sagrado.
Desde su origen, el hombre percibió lo sagrado en el paisaje. Nada resulta mas evidente respecto de la religiosidad primitiva que el culto a la naturaleza.
Su objetivo en lugares relevantes. Cuevas, oasis, dunas, cimas, islas, bosques, desiertos, piedras, pantanos, montañas, exacerbaron la emotividad del individuo.
Terror, exaltación, lirismo, desolación, lucidez, misterio, son sensaciones que se reflejaron en el paisaje.
(texto de Brignardello)

La divinidad revela que esta libre de adoptar cualquier forma. Lo sagrado es cualitativamente distinto de lo profano pero puede manifestarse en cualquier forma y en cualquier sitio dentro del mundo profano.

about

SONIC SELF PORTRAIT

Listening to the sound of the landscape its visage gave origin to the name of this movie which glimpses the possibility of becoming an instrument that “plays” nature as it were a large scale score. It projects, as if it were a myth about the origins, the sound-landscape relationship. Landscape discovering its secret face in music.

A film critique at the Bafici experimental film festival in Buenos Aires, Argentina wrote on SONIC SELF PORTRAIT:

“It is a radical trip searching for the syncs between the Peruvian landscape and its sound, from a free musical conception Manongo Mujica (Lima-Peru) directs this film where he also plays the drums as he tours a conceptual route in search of the hidden face of music. With his drums by the seaside where the borders between water and land blur, Mujica plays accompanied by the rhythm of nature, all surrounded with an omni present geography that winds up fusing with the music and giving birth to what the author calls a vivid soundscape.”

We introduce here the SONIC SELF PORTRAIT record for you to enjoy the sound work which is basically the relationship between the drums and strings with the atmosphere of nature. We also introduce the DVD of this SELF PORTRAIT which was shot and recorded in various Peruvian deserts and edited in London by Judith Borrows.

Escuchar el sonido del paisaje y encontrar su rostro dio origen al nombre de esta película que vislumbra la posibilidad de devenir un instrumento que” toque” la naturaleza como si esta fuera una gran partitura. Proyecta, a manera de un mito de origen, la relación sonora- paisajista. El paisaje encontrando su rostro secreto en la música.
Un critico de cine en el festival de cine experimental internacional Bafici en Buenos Aires Argentina escribió de autorretrato Sonoro:
“En un viaje radical buscando las sincronías entre el paisaje peruano y su sonido, desde una concepción musical libre, Manongo Mujica(Lima- Perú) Dirige este film donde también toca la batería mientras recorre una ruta conceptual en busca del
rostro oculto de la música. Con su batería a la orilla del mar, donde los bordes entre el agua y la tierra se desdibujan, Mujica toca acompañando el ritmo de la naturaleza, todo enmarcado en una geografía omnipresente que termina fusionándose con la música y dando a luz, lo que el autor llama un vivido paisaje sonoro”
Aquí presentamos el disco de Autorretrato Sonoro para que gocen el trabajo sonoro que es básicamente la relación de la batería con cuerdas y atmosferas de la naturaleza. Y también presentamos el DVD de Autorretrato que fue filmado y grabado en varios desiertos del Perú y editado en Londres por Judith Borrows.
