Outubro – Solo Guitar Playing

Where and who is Manuel Mota in 2007 ? I’m not talking about finding his email adress or website or trying to locate him on a map. No map will do, he is his own. He is a presence, a passion, a source of light and inteligence, an evidence. – Two discs : one says Acoustic Guitar the other one Electric Guitar. It is probably about the maximum information one could give. This double album is like a book but each of his records are like that. To me his music involves all the history of music since the word music has been found. He improvises songs, standards, traditionals, repeated lines, landscapes, attacks, chords, gaps, suites, links, bridges and language. He Strings them. While listening to this music i start to see Picasso drawing on a glass in front of Clouzot’s camera in »Le Mystere Picasso«. Mota is also a mystery, you can’tell what happens, how does he provokes so many ideas in you and where does this come from. You ll never be a passive listener here. He permanently confronts you to the origins. All of them. He definetely has left any idea of Styles far behind himself. Anyway most musical terms would only define a small part or an isolated apect of his whole being.playing. He is someone giving you something in the hands. Something pure, something naked and fragile, but also timeless and nameless. The idea before the verb, before society or aside. In the worst case you should collect all his albums and place them in your library. Just watch them and await the time when you ll open one and listen. His music will ask you Who are you and Where are you ? http://www.geocities.com/headlightsrecordings www.geocities.com/headlightsrecordings
