Software Recording Co. presents Tropa Macaca's fourth album, 'Ectoplasma.' The ambient-noise duo of André Abel and Joana da Conceição have been going strong from their Portugal home base since 2005, while lunging out into the world with releases via Qbico and Ruby Red. The follow up to 2009's 'Sensação Do Princípio' on Siltbreeze, 'Ectoplasma' finds Tropa Macaca creating a quantic fantasy sound not unlike a cybernetically enhanced Taj Mahal Travellers interpreting a lost chapter of One Hundred Years of Solititude. The chemistry of Tropa Macaca imbues every tendril of 'Ectoplasma' -- truly mysterious music made for and by adventurous, vibrating people.

'Ectoplasma' is out on 20th August via Software Recording Company.


Men would put the sugar cane broth
in a pan and put it on the fire.
They couldn’t stop moving it until a
creamy consistence occurred.
They couldn’t stop moving it until a
creamy consistence occurred.
They couldn’t stop moving it.
A movement of repetition, a gesture of renewed conviction everytime you begin the
sentence because it has just ended to begin again - they couldn’t stop moving it - is a
pray for silence. Silence enshrines, treasures, Talk wastes, fritters.

- Tropa Macaca
