Antropoceno

Antropoceno is a project from Lua Viana dedicated to create a fusion between traditional Brazilian music and Experimental Rock/ Metal techniques. Through the recovery of ancestral technologies of resistance to colonialism, she addresses the effects of predatory human action in the planet to defend an ontological realignment with nature. No Ritmo da Terra is the second chapter from a trilogy of albums inspired by the work of Ailton Krenak. Articulating the Ancestral Future as an aesthetic project, the album incorporates Ailton’s philosophy through its sound design, manipulating various Brazilian Folk Music elements and field recordings from the Amazon forest with futuristic electronic techniques, in order to conceive an unique style of Art Rock and Avant-Garde Metal. With lyrics in Portuguese, Tupi and Yoruba, the album recontextualizes candomblé and capoeira chants through an idiossyncratic sound palette developed to articulate ancestrality and futurism. The Ancestral Future challenges the antropocentric views of the world that conceive humanity as an organism separate from the body of Earth. Through the recovery of resistance technologies developed by the cultures that remained attached to the planet as a necessity of survival from the erasure of subjectivities, No Ritmo da Terra promotes a defense of the forest as an immediate necessity in face of climate change and other end of the world omens.
