about

(no digital, physical only)

The tape documents the first concert (29.09.2024) of TNL, the unorthodox alliance between the uncompromising DJ and Perf label-boss Tendency (Tiago Carneiro) and the sound trickster Nuno Loureiro. The duo's sound palette stems from Tendency's extended vinyl collection: spanning the whole gamut of futuremaniacal hardcore continua from braindance & techno to more abstract & ambient styles. But, before the sound of his own divergent mixes make it out to the speakers, Loureiro inserts himself into the signal path, processing & manipulating the result. At times, the sound design of Loureiro is subtle & restrained; at others, it completely reconfigures the source materials—to pull out alternative beats & spatial dimensions—that were already twisted into something else by Tendency's skillful ear.

TNL is a project that questions the everything-at-your-fingertips nature of today's music ecosystem. Why not create non-sampledelic music out of samples? By simultaneously reimagining both the DJ set & the live set—a binary opposition that helps foster those vicious capitalist models of the music industry where DJs get pressured into the release of (ghost) productions to bolster up their profiles with originals—TNL offer a danceable egress. Not merely remixes nor reinterpretations, the set moves into & out of zones of recognition. With TNL everything happens twice-removed. Like a four-handed piano piece, things happen here that would not be possible in a two-handed configuration.

The live set takes place at Donau, a Luso-Austrian café that is a refuge for the experimental scene situated in & passing through Porto. Clocking in a just under an hour, the sonic territories traversed are many. We cross regions that would set-off any club, but also others that ask for more of a pensive modality. As TNL's first, this is just the start.
