Fragments: Modern Tradition

Amazon.com
Landscapes of Memory. Road to the Pygmies. Rhythm of Life. The titles of these films speak of environments that neither a 28.8 modem could dial into nor a 4x4 Jeep trailblaze out of. Nana Vasconcelos's scores for these and three other movies channel an atavistic intelligence that has long been existing under landfills and subway lines. With shamanistic force, the singsong voices and harsh croaks of guardian spirits are conjured up to babble in mad conversation, while the sound of percussion and strings alternately scrapes and swoons, mimicking the more uncontrolled side of nature. This is the music Timothy Leary might have heard when he first communed with the desert over peyote. --Michael Woodring
