The Jar, 2023

Transparent LP 12’’ Vinyl Disc

Serving as a metaphor for the relationship between time and human proximity, THE JAR asserts itself as a sound journal of mundane everyday life moments and conversations with loved ones, recorded by Alagoa after his departure from Portugal in 2019. Following a strong influence from the early stages of acousmatic and concrete music, the album unfolds into an experimental mixture between electronic ambient music, field recordings, vocal sampling, and heavy processes of granular synthesis.
