Uakti biography, Uakti discography
Uakti can mean several things:
Uakti is a mythical musician described by the Tukano Indians of South America.This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title.Ribeiro, Uakti's flautist and spokesperson, for what turned out to be a
meeting with a remarkable man.Lobos is a river
that Brazilian musicians are always returning to and drinking from.Lobos that I don't like.The Bachianas are something very special.They are a review of Bach, have
the influence of Bach, but they are also very, very Brazilian.On Mapa Uakti recorded Ravel's Bolero.Marco had this
very simple idea.Always, he has simple and fantastic ideas.It's percussive and uses gourds submerged in water.You have principally
three kinds of sounds: a low frequency, and as you bring part of a gourd
out of the water, you have a medium and then a high frequency (imitates
the sound).With these three kinds of sounds we suggest the melody.Are there other composers Uakti plans to record?We have the possibility of releasing a very interesting work for our
next album on the Point label.It's a work that we recorded for a ballet
group in Brazil called Grupo Corpo.They are the most important ballet
group in Brazil.We worked with them on 21, which is the CD we just
released in Brazil.This next work is a composition like 21 that
uses geometric figures as a score.Marco worked
closely with the choreographer.He knew the music that Marco had composed
so well that he easily transposed it into dance.You feel the measures accelerando.You've
got to listen to that.This idea of returning to the unity and then moving to the plurality
again is a really harmonious idea.And the dancers had no problem with the odd meters?It's incredible because people who have not
played music, that know nothing about rhythm and who say that they can't
play any rhythm, can play very, very complicated combinations of rhythms
by using geometric figures.There are many kinds of possibilities, and
we are always trying to approach something new.Harry Partch created instruments because the sound he wanted, that
he heard in his head, couldn't be realized with traditional Western European
instruments.Marco has this quality for researching different things
all the time.He is always looking for something new, and in this way the
old things are not so important for him.Yes, until '93, I think.He is one of the best instrumentalists I have known, so
conscious.Everything he plays conveys his total awareness.It's impossible to
divide your energy between playing and writing.Can you tell me a little about Marco's teacher, Walter Smetak?Brazilian, a cellist and
a composer.He
had a different approach than Marco for constructing instruments.But sometimes
Marco uses some of his mentor's ideas.He was considered a crazy guy.All the instruments had
a concept, a visual concept and a spiritual concept too.Marco has worked
more with the musical.He went to Bahia to study conducting
and cello and came back an instrument designer and composer.So, they had this idea
of asking Philip Glass to write the music and for Uakti to adapt Philip's
music for our instruments.He wrote around 12 themes.Marco selected the
seven he wanted to work with, the themes that would sound best with our
instruments.Seven or Eight Pieces for
a Ballet.The overture, which Marco wrote, will be performed with the curtain
closed.This overture is built on a sequence that Marco has often used.Then the other
thirds, the fundamental and the 3rd go down to make EGBD.And then this
one goes and this one goes...After the overture,
the Philip Glass music begins.So it's a more free, more fresh Philip Glass.We have some beautiful
arrangements of the Bachianas Brasileiras.Paulo can play it on that
instrument.Well, we are interested in releasing it by the end of '97 or the beginning
of '98.How much
input does he have on the music of Uakti?He keeps you completely free
to do what you want.But Philip is the best executive producer we've had because
he doesn't say anything, and he only smiles.He smiles much more than most
of the people I know.He always has a smile on his face.He's a very special man.His questions are always
so pure, so simple.You sit beside some
people, you feel the ego.How have things been working with the Point label, the management,
the support for new releases?We were the first artists invited to work with
Point.Mapa was the first CD that Point released.Working with Point
is a very nice experience because the people are very warm and musical.Point is Philip Glass's label, and all the people that work with Philip
like him very much and like what they are doing.In some ways, I feel that Uakti is transformed by the music.You have to
be like a channel for them to express.Artur, are you a Buddhist?No, I follow a school that comes from Buddhism, the Gurdjieff school
in Minas.He was born
at the end of the last century and died in '49.He journeyed for 20 years
through the Middle East and Central Asia working in many monasteries in
Tibet and with Sufis.Reality cannot be seen because we have
so many dreams, so many imaginations in the mind that we cannot connect
with the real life that exists outside ourselves.Because the body is always here.The body, from
the first second I am on this planet until the last second I am going to
be here, is always with me, and it is heavenly.We have to find
a school.Gurdjieff used the idea of known identification.Wherever you
are, you can remember you, yourself.When you are in a strange
place and you feel, Oh, I am here, in this place.And you can feel that
you are inside, feel your body, and feel you are alive in that place.Relaxing, but actively, very aware, awake inside.And
the movements, this dance, we always work with this.It's like an anchored boat.The sea wants to get your boat for
this hour, but you are here.The sensation is something that is incredible
for us who have to play on stage.You start with just the tenacity for playing, for moving.This is the second level.Relaxing this part takes years.Well, there
are years of tension here.We have to try to get close to this emotional
world, and then things change.Everything, all these truths, these schools,
are truly different fingers pointing for the same moon.He is
dead but the consciousness continues.He worked with a disciple named Thomas
de Hartmann.He worked with dance, sacred dance.It's really, really special
music.There is a recording of piano music that
was made by Thomas de Hartmann.All the works of Gurdjieff
are good for meditation.His music is really, really special.Is there one ultimate concept that guides Uakti?For me it's very difficult to say.From inside it is difficult to compare.The real world has difficulties all the time.What
I think is interesting is that at all times there are two sides of the
energy.The third energy only
appears when the opposite sides are together, and never in our lives are
both sides together.We are sad or we are happy, and then come to be sad
again, then happy.We are never in the middle.We learn this in our education, from our parents, and from all these
people that are around, that everything is very bad.You ought to connect with the positive
things that are happening when you are in L.With the music of Uakti, I feel
that the soul of this music is the way we are trying to approach something
more positive.She was the person who introduced
me to Gurdjieff.It evolved from an
improvisation I recorded four years ago.There is a very old knowledge that says in the absolute there is
no division; it is unity.Gurdjieff calls
this knowledge Holy Affirming, Holy Denying, and Holy Reconciling.There is a canon
with this sequence and then with the marimbas.After that is established,
the pans, the PVC pipes enter.Finally a melody appears that is a beautiful
mantra for Krishna that a very good friend of mine, a flautist, chanted
for me.It's in eleven and for
Krishna.This mantra
has been continuously sung in a monastery in India or Nepal since 1939.It is being sung now and has been sung uninterruptedly since 1939.The process has continued every day, all
day, all night, since that time.It's incredible because it is something so simple,
yet so powerful that it is bringing a little harmony to this crazy world.Uakti was invited to make for a TV program organized by a Brazilian
singer named Saulo Laranjeira.Straightening Up) that always opens with Elomar's music.It's a program
where guest artists present their music live.Ah, this is a long story.It's a very powerful exercise.Only few
people have received this kind of...Well, it works with a very special energy.Every 17 minutes you have to do these exercises by eating
fruit and nuts.It's
something I cannot talk about, but it's something that changed my life.Is this something that you just started practicing in the last two
years?There
is a man in Brazil who has a connection with some very friendly extraterrestrial
beings.We were just recording 21.It was January, and we were on a short vacation at
my farm.It's around 100 kilometers from Belo Horizonte.We had been building
a number of structures there in order to receive Gurdjieff groups for weekend
retreats.And it was one of the first nights that I was sleeping in my
house, which had just been finished.But it wasn't a
dream because it was really different.And I went
up, and the car stopped at that point in the road.It was exactly at the
point I have to pass through when I go to my farm.There were many cuts in
the mountains.All the buildings were like temples.And there were beings on a very high level of consciousness.And there was one word I could remember in the
dream.But this word meant, among many other things, that I had completed one
half of my mission musically and in regard to the big constructions I had
made on my farm for people to have workshops.You have to be always aware, counting silently,
feeling some part of the body.They showed me a movement that involved six lines of people.And
three, and two, and one.It was exactly the six, five, four, three, two, one of the 21.In this experience they showed me that.In the rhythm, it was exactly
that.After
that, it was very strange because I was in a very high level of consciousness.I've never been in such a highly conscious state.You were connected with the same
eternity.But on this first floor, I could feel..Oh, of course, I have had this experience many times.It
was very nice being able to compare it to here.You're the first guy I've ever talked to about
this.You know when people are sleeping the
more conscious part of the self...There are many people that work there.Probably you have your own temple, and you don't know about it.They
showed me Philip's records, the covers of the records, but I can't remember.Uakti has designed an instrument called
Trilobita.Yea, it's always in our lives.Paulo's compositions, and it's very interesting.Groups of ten, ten, ten...?But it's an interesting arrangement
to complete the one hundred count cycle.Eleven)
is in eleven and like 21 uses a score of geometric figures.It could be like this and the beat would always be the same.You don't have to think about it.Marco has created using geometric
figures.It's incredible because you can improvise easily over the three,
four, six, five.You are feeling the beats, so it can be a much more free
improvisation and still be together.Does Uakti ever plan to use a vocalist?Uakti would have to be someone like Bobby McFerrin or Marlui.It's the most important
recording of his life.It
repeats again at the octave and goes up.Marco wrote many years ago, and we fought with him to
include it in this recording.How unusual for Uakti (both laugh).Uakti was a legendary creature from the Amazon rain forest whose
body was perforated with holes.The wind passing through his body created
beautiful sounds that attracted the women of the Tucano Indian tribe whom
Uakti seduced.The men of the tribe killed and buried Uakti.Time passed
and palm tress grew on Uakti's burial site.Wind instruments made from
this palm wood produced melodies identical to Uakti's.In Uakti's notation each solid
line represents a quarter note, each broken line two eighth notes.The tower is a Uakti string instrument that is played by two members
of the ensemble.Canon is the strictest form of musical imitation, in which two or
more parts take up, in succession, the given subject note for note.Tudo e Todas as Coisas (All and Everything) is the name of
