Once when I was young, Dared to look into my night. Deep inside my own head, I screamed into that dark. At first, nothing made sense, my days all felt the same. now when I look back then, that set me out to dance. Now with all that gone, I read between the lines. the moment I got in here, something just felt right. Can the beast be named, In its current form and mine? Matter and time Matter and time I have Shattered to fly Matter and time

One last breath One last breath I take one last breath I take one last breath And place a Backdoor to trespass To make our own path Be a compass go off the map They’re ghosts from our past DDoS’em, run collapse

2467 a proporção exorbitante de glitter na água fez com que as pós-humanes evoluíssem para estado de carnaval constante. (2467, the exorbitating proportion of glitter in water made post-humans evolve to a permanent state of carnival)

about

In an unusual collaboration between a Brazilian artist and a Chinese label, Numa Gama returns with a left-field take on her music-making, A Spectral Turn. Inspired by Derrida’s Hauntology, and the post-capitalist instigations of Anna Tsing, she weaves an eerie and cold subtropical soundscape that explores themes of freedom and imagination amidst the ghosts that inhabit today’s world.

Each track here unfolds like a vignette, as translucent synth lines float independently, accompanied by abstract sounds and glitches. This amalgamation creates a rational yet cozy stream of consciousness, guiding the listener through the haunted corridors of the memories of the past, ideas of the present, and miscarriages of the future. To summon these ideas, Numa Gama draws a parallel between negotiating political change and making kin with her own creative desires.

Rather than providing nostalgic sensations or futuristic insights, A Spectral Turn acknowledges that history ends at every moment, and gives way to new beginnings, swarming with ghosts.
