about

PT_ A história deste álbum começa algures no princípio do Verão de 2016, onde imaginei um álbum com o tema dos jogos Olímpicos. Com pouco tempo para o fazer, ficou a ideia para 2017 (ano dos mundiais de atletismo), depois aprofundada para o conceito final: o Decatlo. Mais tarde, em Outubro, ao mesmo tempo que começava a trabalhar no Themes for a Lost City, praticava uma nova variante do simbolo de Twin Sprawl, e uma chamou a atenção pelo seu dinamismo, que parecia um atleta num estilo meio neoplasticisimo, meio pintura rupestre com as iniciais. Foi esse o ponto de partida para a concepção final do album no meio ano que se seguiu.
Pegando vagamente nos conceitos de cada desporto, é um álbum relativamente curto (em parte limitado pelas 10 faixas que o compõem), com uma sonoridade mais techno que os anteriores.

Gravado entre Outubro 2016 e Maio 2017

ENG_ The story of this album begins sometime early in the Summer of 2016, where I pictured an album inpired by the Olympics. Short on time, the idea was postponed to the next year (as the Athletics World Championships take place), later streamlined into a theme: the decathlon. Later in October, as I worked on Themes for a Lost City, I was also practicing a new variant of the Twin Sprawl logo, and one of them caught my eye thanks to its dynamic, looking like an athlete in a half De Stijl, half cave painting style with the initials. That was the starting point for the final form of the record in the following six months.
Vaguely inspired by the concepts of each event, it's a relatively short album (in part limited by the 10 track limit), with a more techno-ish sound than the previous records.

Recorded between October 2016 and May 2017
