Intitulado The Humm<\/em>, o segundo \u00e1lbum de longa dura\u00e7\u00e3o segue o disco de 2020, tendo resultado das mesmas sess\u00f5es extensivas e intensivas de composi\u00e7\u00e3o, de dois dias, durante as quais o produtor criou 8 horas de m\u00fasica ambiente em camadas. Sarnadas centrou o seu trabalho num setup minimalista composto apenas por um sintetizador caseiro, uma mesa de mistura e alguns pedais de efeitos, gerando v\u00e1rias camadas de som e manipulando a sua rela\u00e7\u00e3o sobreposta e aparentemente aleat\u00f3ria para criar oito pe\u00e7as de m\u00fasica espacial e on\u00edrica, com uma plasticidade org\u00e2nica em constante muta\u00e7\u00e3o.

Inspirando-se na ideia de que as cidades murmuram as suas pr\u00f3prias melodias, como express\u00e3o de tudo o que \u00e9 urbano a tocar em segundo plano, a s\u00e9rie The Hum<\/em> descreve as vidas pulsantes do Porto e de Aveiro (a cidade natal de Sarnadas) atrav\u00e9s de drones subtis.

No primeiro longa-dura\u00e7\u00e3o, lan\u00e7ado no ano passado, Sarnadas criou uma s\u00e9rie de pe\u00e7as de ambient soturnas, com sons saturados a invadirem os sentidos como forma de criar imagens que ultrapassam a realidade de cada cidade. Em The Humm<\/em>, por outro lado, todas as pe\u00e7as de m\u00fasica transitam de uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de sonho l\u00facido para algo mais pr\u00f3ximo do despertar, mais s\u00f3brio e agraciado pela alvorada, onde camadas menos abrasivas permitem interpretar formas e imagens mais n\u00edtidas.

The Hum no The Wire<\/em> “\u2026ao justapor estas massas de tom com sec\u00e7\u00f5es de movimento delicado e comovente \u2014 como a meio dos 25 minutos de S Ildefonso Detaill<\/em>, quando tudo \u00e9 reduzido para revelar uma nota solit\u00e1ria e vulner\u00e1vel que dan\u00e7a em torno do n\u00facleo antes de as camadas regressarem \u2014 estes pequenos bols\u00f5es de descanso proporcionam um impacto emotivo inesperado e inquietante.” Spencer Tomson, edi\u00e7\u00e3o 441<\/em>

Titled The Humm, the second long-play album follows the 2020 record, having resulted from the same two-day extensive and intensive composing sessions during which the producer created 8 hours of layered ambient music. Sarnadas focused his endeavour on a stripped-down setup comprised of just a homemade synth, a mixer and some effects pedals, generating various layers of sound and manipulating their overlapping and apparently random relationship to create eight pieces of spacial, dreamy music, with ever-changing organic plasticity.

Drawing inspiration from the idea of cities humming their own tunes, as an expression of all things urban playing in the background, The Hum series describes Porto and Aveiro (Sarnadas\u2019s native city) pulsing lives through nuanced drones.

Over the first long-play, released last year, Sarnadas created a series of bleak ambient pieces, with saturated sounds overwhelming senses as a means to create images surpassing the reality of each city. On The Humm, on the other hand, all pieces of music shift from a lucid-dream feeling to a sensation closer to waking up, soberer and graced by dawn, where less abrasive layers allow the interpretation of clearer forms and images.

The Hum on The Wire “\u2026by juxtaposing these slabs of tone against sections of delicate and affecting movement – such as halfway through the 25 minute “S Ildefonso Detaill” when everything is stripped back to reveal a vulnerable solo note that dances around the core before the layers are returned – these little pockets of respite deliver an uncanny and unexpected emotive impact.” Spencer Tomson, issue 441
