CRAFTED IMPROVISATION IN BETWEEN TWO SIPS

Synesthesia: sonically modelled body that pours into a glass of sensorial transpositions: music to be experienced during the precise silence between two sips. The piano persists in the red keyboarded mouth over the widely rosed face designed by Ricardo Miranda.

Flux of transpositions between sound and flavour, VIC NIC's 7th phonographic release pours into a brew carrying the Lovecraft seal, where one may savour each of the 40 minutes that compose this improvised collaboration between Troll's Toy and João Salcedo. And, if a wine can be said to contain "wooden notes", there's no doubt that the wheat wine ordered by Lovecraft to the Burguesa brewery exhales the most unexpected musical notes.

Unlimited to 192 units and first in a series of experiments piloted by VIC NIC into the realm of unconventional formats, it is no secret that the inspiration for a beer-shaped record came from Zuma's exceptional album 'Forest', released out to sea in a bottle of wine in 2019.

Craft music is free from preservatives and other chemicals: it tastes unique each and every time. The sax insists on refusing gloves when touching the mouth's liquid skin. A drum of flavours explodes in the palate, into the full lips of the guitar. To declare the sonic and savouring body as a network of cherry flavoured vibrations that make us swear by the existence of the soul, while Synesthesia improvises the trace that will remain within.

about

Troll's Toy Aveiro, Portugal

Structure and chaos, war and peace. Gabriel Neves (Tenor Saxophone), João Martins (Drums and Percussion) and Jorge Loura (Baritone Guitar) imagined what it would be like if Frank Zappa, Wayne Shorter, Richard Wagner and Egberto Gismonti met at a Tool concert and formed a trio. From this mathematical impossibility Troll’s Toy was born. ... more
