A proud exponent of the São Paulo scene known for it's subversive, alternative music underbelly, Naná Rizinni is a drummer, producer and composer who bridges improvisatory flavours with progressive electronics, Brazilian rhythms and expansive textures. Now based in London after making the move across continents in 2020, her new album 'Epiblast' chronicles a journey of transformation, rebirth and personal evolution.Written and co-produced with saxophonist and producer Mark Cake over the course of the last two years in London, 'Epiblast' represents a full cycle of life, in all it's intensity. Beginning with the excitement and joy of new parenthood, in conjunction with adjusting to the pace of life and the creation of relationships in her new home, the record also became a companion for Naná's grieving process after the loss of her brother. She shares: ""The title 'Epiblast' comes from an early embryonic layer from which the entire organism develops. For me, it represents multiple births and rebirths - new roles, identities, and directions - capturing both fragility and infinite potential.""Moving between the wide, open soundscapes and jittering rhythmic interplay of title track ""Epiblast"", the Steve Reich-esque ""Fifth Life"", and lead single ""The Right Side of the Escalator"", through to the consolidative intimacy and masterful balance between acoustic and electronic textures heard on ""VVV Rerework"", the album presents a raw, unfiltered account of Naná's recent journey. Known in Brazil for her fluid, experimental approach to the confines of genre, her work has evolved from the alternative, post and garage rock textures of her early music into a hybrid, jazz-forward language rooted in rhythm, texture and improvisation.
