Tina Records presents Cargo Cult, six tracks from the Musci archives created using an extensive collection of ethnic instruments combined with synthesisers and electronics. On remix duty are Cut Hands, a.k.a William Bennett of Whitehouse, and industrial millenarian Nokuit.
Italian ethnomusicologist Roberto Musci, active since the mid 80s, has experienced a resurgence in interest since the 2016 Music From Memory compilation 'Tower of Silence', receiving endorsements from such disparate figures as Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yung Lean.
Cargo Cult maps out a para-geographical landscape summoning a fourth world of electro-acoustic machinery made of wood and teeth and toucan beaks. The academic laboratories of Stockhausen submerged by rising tides and overrun by Salamanders. Musci's Inception-style terrain-folding recalls the man/oeuvres of Coil and of Jon Hassell, to whom one of the tracks here is dedicated.
Just imagine living in four rapidly evolving worlds at once.
