Amaro Freitas — Y’Y (Psychic Hotline)

Photo by Gelder Tavares

Jazz pianist Amaro Freitas laces his fusion-y jazz with sounds of the rain forest in this expansive outing, infusing fluid reveries of keyboard with tropical rhythm and heat and intimating the sounds of water, birds and insect life. A native of Brazil’s northeastern Pernambuco state, he is as steeped in the music of rain forest peoples like the Sateré Mawé indigenous community as in the jazz canon, and he has strong connections to a global jazz scene, as demonstrated by cameos from Brandee Younger, Jeff Parker and Shabaka Hutchins.  The music slips, sometimes, into soft-focus, new age-y mysticism, but at its best conveys clear-eyed wonder at the heritage human beings are in the process of destroying.

Y’Y proceeds smoothly from one cut to another, so that you are not always sure without looking about exactly where you are in its sequence. Indeed, you could think of it as one long track, flowing majestically downstream like the river that inspired it. Nonetheless, there are scenes with in it, the trebly, altered piano notes that weave through knocks and booms and twitterings in the opening “Mainguari (Encantado da Mata”) one of two cuts dedicated to Amazonian spirits. “Uiara,” the second, sets brief agitated flights of piano against the sound of wood groaning; it sounds like bird song in the midst of rain. The piano becomes more insistent as the cut goes on, hammering and pounding and making staccato chords. It pulses with life, evolving, intertwining, competing life, as abundant as the life in the jungle.

The title track is particularly good at balancing traditional, tribal sounds with the fluencies of jazz. It starts in a stretched out chant, the thump of hand-drums, a metallic clash of tonal percussion. The reedist Shabaka Hutchings plays an airy flute over this, a hoarse whisper of melody over spare percussion. The piano enters, first as a single note played again and again, and then more lavishly, with chords. The piece has an open-ended inquiry to it as the musicians explore connections between jazz and ritual music.

Tortoise guitarist Jeff Parker guests on “Mar de Cirandeiras,” dropping smooth elegiac runs into a groove set by Freitas’ playing. It’s maybe the track that sounds the closest to American jazz, but even here, a tropical heat envelops the sound. And finally, the Chicago harpist Brandee Younger takes a hand in “Glorioso,” in graceful runs and flourishes. You could hardly imagine two instruments less suited to the Amazon than piano and harp, but they flourish here, unencumbered by humidity.

Y’Y has its lovely moments, but it wallows sometimes in woo-woo-y mysticism. It’s a bit soft and cushiony, hard edges sanded down to harmless auras. That’s why “Encantados,” late in the album, is such a kick, rushing ahead on running bass and drums, piano and flute bits flying off as it takes the corners on two wheels.  The Amazon may be full of gorgeous tranquility, but how nice, just this once, to hear it lift up its head and roar.

Joe Rainey - once the reaper / d​.​m​.​ii

Joe Rainey follows up his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Niineta’ with the single "once the reaper". Entering new sonic territory, Rainey unleashes a vocal barrage over storming percussion, spectral vocal samples and unrelenting kick drum patterns provided by producer Andrew Broder. "once the reaper" is a song of defiance, about confronting grief head-on, about fiercely guarding the memory of relatives taken too soon. Joe is kicking down the doors, closed for too long to Native artists in America and demanding new space be made for Pow Wow singing- in the same conversation as any other modern music. He insists that his culture not be thoughtlessly shoved in the ‘World Music’ bin, not be relegated to the past, to be admired behind glass or in halls of academia-but blaring out of car windows, in the earbuds of a kid on the basketball court, and in dimly lit concert venues, rattling the subs. Joe is not telling ancient stories - he is telling modern stories that often go unheard. It’s impossible not to hear this.

Tim Bernardes - Mil Coisas Invisíveis

(Chamber Folk, MPB, Singer/Songwriter)

The São Paulo singer/songwriter's sophomore album takes the widescreen chamber folk of Recomeçar and distills it down to its simplest form: honest, emotional storytelling and beautiful music arrangements. Dropping the conceptual bent that bogged down his debut, Mil Coisas Invisíveis is a subtle yet marvelous step forward.

☆☆☆☆½

Tim Bernardes has so many feelings and stories to tell, but he's just getting started in discovering the best ways to bring them to life. Hailing from São Paulo, the singer/songwriter's inspirations range from the opulent sound of 60s and 70s Brazilian folk and pop music to The Beatles' psychedelic warmth, tracing the history of both contemporary pop music and classic Brazilian touchstones with his uniquely meditative and soft-hearted style of MPB. His latest album, Mil Coisas Invisíveis, arose from the difficulties that came after the release of his lovely 2017 debut Recomeçar - an album whose heavenly sound was held back by a conceptual framework that felt stifling to his ability to fully express himself musically - and the emotional doors that were unlocked after the stress and intensity of touring for that album. "I was very stressed and I noticed that my rational thinking was saturated," he said, and from that Mil Coisas Invisíveis bloomed. Dropping any sort of concepts or precise goal in mind, Bernardes' music this time around focuses on a fresh start and free emotional storytelling, touching on everything from death and uncertainty to sincere declarations of love and beauty that don't need any extra decoration around them to make you fall in love. This is Tim Bernardes at his best, and it stays that way across all 15 of Mil Coisas Invisíveis' tracks. Translating to "A Thousand Invisible Things", Mil Coisas Invisíveis' guiding principles of "illusion and fantasy and magic" per the Bandcamp page shape how each and every one of its songs move forward. It feels lighter and freer than anything off of Recomeçar, Bernardes painting each of his pictures with softer strokes that give so much detail to these songs while never making it feel overwhelming, the plush bass work from Arthur Decloedt on the psych-tinged opener Nascer, Viver, Morrer quietly bouncing under soft-sung harmonies from Bernardes and quaint acoustic guitar, starting the album off with one of its most relaxed songs to ensure Mil Coisas Invisíveis immediately establishes itself as a change of pace for Bernardes and make lots of space for the other songs to unfold. From there, he sneaks in all sorts of things: a mellow bossa nova groove here and there on Esse Ar, some sunny samba interspersed between gleaming chamber folk instrumentation on highlight Realmente Lindo, a glossy tenor sax line from Mauricio Periera on penultimate baroque pop tune Leve, and countless other instrumental flourishes on each song that make them all distinct and memorable even when they're so breezy and delicate it seems like they disappear after a sunray blocks your vision and Bernardes moves onto the next track. It's an absolutely gorgeous album with some of the best arranging work this year - seriously, those string crescendos on Meus 26? Are you kidding me with those harmonies? - and as Bernardes perches himself on themes of romanticism, magic, and intimacy, his show-stopping compositions soar in the clear skies of Mil Coisas Invisíveis and bring you along for the unforgettable adventure. Being more straightforward with things this time around has also afforded Bernardes the chance to go for bigger, brighter instrumentation without having to figure out how to work it around a concept, able to let his emotions be the only thing you need to connect with these songs and add as much drama to the arrangements as he desires. The chorus of Olha, with its flashy string swells and sensitive piano playing as Bernades sings "Why did you not tell me? / How did we get to this point? / When did that wall rise between the two of us?" is one of my personal favorite moments on the album, imbued with such spirit and conviction that his simple, clear-headed songwriting ends up an absolute punch in the gut when he lays out these feelings of loss and confusion so vividly. Other times, it's pulling back to the bare essentials that gives him clarity, the acoustic singer/songwriter piece Última Vez slowly revealing a story of faded romance brought to life by the tiniest details: her hair twirling around in his fingers, postcards, the cold feeling knowing what it's like to not have someone's affection anymore cutting deep into him, or the heartbreaking finale Mesmo Se Você Não Vê where he surveys the world around him when the magic of art can't color things in, some of the album's strongest couplets revealed right as things come to a close - "The sky is always starry / Even if you don't see," "The big doubts disappear / When the sun comes up" - and it's hard to not find yourself hanging on his every word by the end of Mil Coisas Invisíveis. There's artistic growth after artistic growth across Mil Coisas Invisíveis, Tim Bernardes getting even closer to perfection as he realizes he doesn't need to weave his music around a wireframe for it to become something beautiful - his artistry is profound enough to pull you in completely on its own. Going back to Recomeçar, it's so clear how much development has happened in the time between it and Mil Coisas Invisíveis that it's even more awe-inspiring how much more thoughtful and inspired sounds just five years in the future, cultivating a sound where he sounds and performs more comfortably than ever before. He doesn't have to do anything on Mil Coisas Invisíveis but be himself to make you fall in love, and him making songs this at ease causes some of the best folk music this year to blossom through Bernades' tender voice and terrific instrumental arrangements. All the pieces are in place for Mil Coisas Invisíveis: Tim Bernardes' voice sounds great, his writing is wonderful, the music itself is radiant, and not once is there a time where he lets your heart out of his reach.

Everytime someone says “that’s long” to a future prediction thats like 3 months and under, I just think they’re young. Ain’t no way you think a month is a long time 😭 I blink and a month is over!

Also it shows that everyone wants something spontaneously. Not only are attention spans low, but it shows that people aren’t willing to wait for anything good to come along. Like it’s supposed to fall in their lap 🙃

How do I prepare for your call? And how can you do the same?

As with all things in life, some degree of preparation is necessary. You would never go for a run without warming up and stretching first, or leave home without checking you have everything you need — and so it is with Tarot.

And as with plenty in life, there are as many ways to read Tarot (and prepare for the process) as there are readers, and what will resonate and work for me will not necessarily be of any use to another reader. However, it’s always exciting to be given a chance to peek backstage, so let me draw the veil back and show you around…

Natural Needs First: I find it really important to check in with my body as I draw closer to the start of my session. The body-mind connection is so important, and thinking of my body as divine and as conscious as my soul has helped me in all aspects of my life, not just spiritually.

My checklist for this is as follows:

🃏 Have I had some fresh air and some time to connect with Mother Nature? ✨ Have I moved my body in a way that warms me up and moves my blood around? 🃏 Do I need a nap if I’m going to be reading into the early hours? ✨ What do I need to eat or drink? I often kill two birds with one stone here and make sure that the herbal tea I choose has properties of opening the way for communication and enhancing divinatory skills — my favourite is peppermint.

Clearing the Space The (extremely correct) words “cleanliness is next to godliness” and “a tidy space means a tidy mind” echo through my mind in my mother’s voice every day, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this. In general, I like to keep my living space as clean and tidy as I can, not just for hygiene and safety reasons — I find the flow of good energy in and bad energy out is much better when my home is tidier. We don’t want blockages!

For Tarot specifically, I like to:

✨ assign a special area for reading 🃏 make sure that that area is tidy and free from obstructions ✨ place some of my plants nearby 🃏 cleanse my home with incense ✨ hum or sing — a way of tidying the mind directly!

It’s much easier to hear the messages I’m getting through the cards when my surroundings aren’t interfering with transmission.

Taking Care of the Spirit Ensuring that my reading tools are in good working order is something I like to do before and after I receive your calls, as well as very regularly in my own magical life.

The light from full moons and supermoons are wonderful for cleansing and charging decks and crystals, as well as the smoke cleansing I mentioned above. However, there are countless ways to cleanse your tools: through sounds and vibrations, strong sunlight, a good and thorough shuffle – some readers even knock on their decks to throw all the accumulated energies out! I like to go one step further and charge every single thing I’ll be using to communicate with you. This includes but isn’t limited to:

🔮 my tarot deck 🌝 the cloth on which I place my spreads 🔮 my laptop and its charger 🌚 the telephone I use to receive calls 🔮 the specific area in which I’ll be reading for you 🌝 any crystals I wear or have nearby (usually moonstones)

I always check in with them after a session too, thanking them for the clear communication and messages I’ve received and for the opportunities to connect with querents.

What Should You do to Prepare? It’s mostly up to you, as you won’t be the one channelling in the same way and therefore will not be undergoing the same stresses. However, it’s important to make sure that you are in the best possible space in which to receive messages, especially if you’re asking questions you consider difficult or are having a longer session. The Natural Needs checklist will be incredibly useful for you as a way to start checking in with yourself, and gives a good foundation for spiritual experiences.

What Should I Ask? That depends entirely on you — what do you want to know the answer to? Sometimes we’re not quite sure of what we actually want to know, and therefore find ourselves frustrated with answers that feel opaque or confusing, not realising that we’ve been opaque or confusing in our approach! I’d like to clarify that this is not the same as asking for a general forecast, which I liken to casting a net out into the sea and seeing what comes back.

Here are some provocations that might clarify and enhance your future queries:

🌚 Do I want to know about this specific person in general, or do I want to know about them in relation to me? 🔮 Am I willing to receive the answer I get to my question, even if it’s not the one I want? 🌝 Am I willing to do the work of understanding the answer I get and applying it in my daily and/or spiritual life? 🔮 If I am interested in knowing something specific, will I be brave enough to trust my reader and ask a focused question? 🌚 Am I asking a question I already know the answer to but refuse to accept?

Of course, the nature of divination means that nothing is set in stone. We all act under free will — there are many times I’ve averted something I’ve seen coming in the cards, because the answer I got ending up being a call to action. On a practical level, having a pen and paper/notebook to hand might also be useful, so you can write down what your reader discovers and refer back to it later. If it’s been a particularly intense reading, things like moving, cleansing, or even napping are all ways of re-centring yourself.

Happy discoveries!
