Primeiro

Unsettling the boundaries between the human and the non-human weaves through the fabric of Primeiro’s practice. Both his new album, inspired by a horse-related accident, and his project Feed the River—a festival where music is made in collaboration with bodies of water—seek to blur these lines.
Music for Horses I & II arrives on vinyl through a collaboration between Sonôsfera (Buenos Aires), Danzee (Berlin), and EX:IN | IN:EX (Chemnitz). The record is split into two parts: side B was recorded prior to a horse-riding accident that deeply marked Primeiro’s life and released in 2024; side A was composed in the period following the accident and has not being released yet.
The digital version accompanying the vinyl release presents a reinterpretation of Music for Horses I. After receiving the vinyl pressing, Primeiro slowed down the record on a turntable, re-recorded the tracks, and layered them with drum machines. During his residency at EMS Stockholm, he further reshaped the sound, adding sub-bass textures using Buchla 100 and 200 synthesizers, and processing the material through tape machines to create warped, time-stretched versions of the original compositions.
