Why This Album Matters

Tudo e Todas as Coisas, released in 1984, represents a significant milestone in Uakti's discography, consolidating the sound identity that would come to define the group. On this third album, the ensemble deepened its exploration of a unique instrumental universe, distancing itself further from conventional instruments in favour of its original creations, conceived and constructed by Marco Antônio Guimarães. The album exemplifies the singular fusion of contemporary compositional techniques, marked by complex rhythmic structures and the use of multiple metrics, with an intrinsically primitive sound, derived from its invented instruments. This dichotomy is the secret to Uakti's musicality, and in this work, it is presented with notable refinement. The songs recorded during this phase were almost exclusively compositions by Marco Antônio Guimarães or partnerships with Milton Nascimento, evidencing a cohesive and authorial artistic direction that deserves attention for its originality and depth.

Context

The album Tudo e Todas as Coisas arrived as Uakti's third work, succeeding the albums Uakti - Oficina Instrumental (1981) and Uakti 2 (1982). Its recording in 1984 was preceded by a change in the group's line-up: after the departure of cellist Cláudio Luz, guitarist Bento Menezes joined the quartet, remaining until the completion of this recording. During this period, Uakti had already established a growing reputation in the Brazilian music scene, boosted by performances with Milton Nascimento and the visibility of their first two albums. Tudo e Todas as Coisas marked the moment when the group began to intensify the use of their innovative instruments, progressively moving away from traditional instrumentation.

Songs

The compositions featured on Tudo e Todas as Coisas reflect a period of great creative effervescence, where most of the tracks are signed by Marco Antônio Guimarães or result from his collaborations with Milton Nascimento. The album stands out for the performance of its songs using instrumentation increasingly dominated by the group's unconventional instruments, such as the various types of pans, the Angelim and glass marimbas, and complex bowed string instruments like the Iarra and the Torre. Uakti's music on this album showcases Marco Antônio Guimarães' compositional characteristics, with scholarly arrangements that result in intricate rhythmic structures, often using more than one time signature in the same composition or free metrics. The melody and harmony are carefully crafted to explore the particularities of each instrument, creating a dialogue between contemporary technique and the primitive sound that defines the group's uniqueness.

Faz algum tempo postei aqui o que considero uma das realizações mais importantes da música instrumental brasileira: os 4 discos do Quinteto Armorial. Esse grupo pernambucano começou a gravar em 1974 e infelizmente não gravou mais depois de 1980.
