Priscilla Ermel: Origens Da Luz 2LP (Music from Memory)

From the one-sheet:

“Origens Da Luz brings together a selection of recordings drawn from a body of work that was originally recorded between 1986 and 1994. Priscilla was raised in a musical family in São Paulo and learned the cello and guitar at an early age. She then embarked on a deeply personal musical journey that would travel from origins rooted in Tom Jobim and Chico Buarque to recording the music of the natural world and the communities around her. A film-maker and anthropologist by training, Priscilla is a lifelong student of a universal music.

[…]

After studying with the renowned Taoist master Liu Pai Lin, she integrated the slow-moving pace of Tai Chi into a music that connects intimately with a multiplicity of cultures at the same time that it unmistakably reflects her Brazilian soul. Combining sounds drawn from the history of Brazil with her own explorations of analog sound technology, Priscilla's music opens up a mystical space, where ancient and modern evolves into a new language.”

*We stock an entire of section of Music from Memory titles, so feel free to reach out if you want to add anything to your order.

**We also carry many releases from Vito Ricci in the shop, the artist whose album from 1985 provides the name for this label imprint. MFM did a great job w/ Vito’s compilation from a few years back, but his recent CDs and albums over the last twenty years are fantastic. Can’t recommend Vito’s work enough, so reach out if you are interested in any of his releases you can’t find. .
