Walter Smetak was a Swiss-born composer and inventor of instruments who made Brazil his home and his laboratory, forging a singular musical vision that drew from Afro-Brazilian ritual traditions, theosophy, microtonal theory, and collective improvisation. Released in 1980, Interregno stands as his second album and marks a bold new chapter in his already unconventional musical universe, placing microtonal guitars at the forefront alongside an electric organ and instruments of his own creation.
What makes Interregno such a fascinating listen is its refusal to fit neatly into any single category — it exists somewhere between experimental music, classical composition, and ritualistic sound exploration. Recorded with the Conjunto de Microtons and released through the Fundação Cultural Do Estado Da Bahia, this album is a rare document of a visionary artist pushing the boundaries of what music could be, making it a compelling addition to any collection focused on avant-garde or world music.
