ONDAS, Album and press .

i tell my mother, “ondas”

waves, it all comes in waves

it sounds a lot like “anda”

hurry up!, get going

“mom, that is life. tens que ter força.”

i wake up some mornings in a fog, flailing in something

ondas

the tide comes in, then out

e depois eu anda

over and over and over again

ONDAS (Portuguese for waves) is the title of electronic music producer and artist QRTR’s third album.

Inspired by medieval textures, classical paintings, and oceanic beings, the world of ONDAS is a magical and surreal setting with mythical symbolism and evidence of alchemic rituals throughout.

Silver and opalescent adronments and artifacts glimmer like hope in the overcast of the rocky shore – a light in the darkness.

She returns every day by the sea in hopes to hear again what she heard that fateful day. At long last, the message arrives. It pulls her in (she is at service), intense and overwhelming as it gets closer, and then, there is only calm.

Ascension awaits at the bottom of the ocean.
