Arto Lindsay – Erotic City
Biography
Richmond, United States (1953 – present)
He has a distinctive soft voice and an often noisy, self-taught guitar style comprised almost entirely of extended techniques, described by Brian Olewnick “studiedly naïve … sounding like the bastard child of Derek Bailey”; his guitar work is contrasted frequently with gentler, sensuous Brazilian music themes.
According to his website:
Arto Lindsay has made a lifelong habit of crossing both geographical and musical borders. Born in the United States and raised in Brazil during the heyday of that country’s pointedly eclectic tropicalia movement of the 1960s, the multi-faceted songwriter/producer/vocalist/guitarist has forged an international reputation as an artist whose work is as seductive as it is challenging. From his late ‘70s recordings of abrasive “no wave” through his acclaimed series of solo albums beginning in the late ‘90s, Lindsay has bonded rhythms and melodies from diverse cultures and genres in provocative new ways, crafting inimitable soundscapes whose impact can range from fragile pop pleasure to sheer sonic assault.
It was the 1978 four-band sampler No New York (produced by Brian Eno) which brought an early taste of international (albeit underground) notoriety to Lindsay’s first band, DNA.

What's happened to Arto since 2006? No news on his website. I hope he's okay. I saw him in 2005, it was one of my favourite ever concerts, which I reviewed here: http://www.eleventhvolume.com/reviews/concerts/files/arto_lindsay.html

Such an incredible artist. Ou, para fazer jus a sua herança brasileira: que artista incrível.

I fall in love with "Kamo (Dark Stripe)" as soon as I hear it. It's been going on and on in my playlist for the past 2 weeks.

Faz anos que aguardo um show do Arto. Não uma participação, nem uma trilha pra um projeto audio-visual. Quero uma apresentação dele, com faixas de seus trabalhos solo. Canções de Salt, Prize, Invoke...será belíssimo. Na última semana, junto à Rabotinick, Arto se apresentou na abertura do lançamento do Amigo do Tempo, novo disco da Mombojo, aqui no Rio. Na saída perguntei a ele quando teríamos um show dele e ele afirmou estar a procura de um lugar especial para isso. Inclusive citou o Plano B como um palco de seu gosto, para um possível show seu.

Crazy how he basically did a 180 after DNA... Listening to Noon Chill right now, totally the inverse of DNA in pretty much every way. It's really good though, I like it a lot.
