Sound Mind Sound Body was inspired in part by the working principles of Fripp & Eno, extrapolated by Rafael via a unique signal path leading out of his guitar. He paid notice to the massive impact of discreet gestures, creating slow-moving tones and spacious orchestral resonances, drifting and droning with glacial majesty, hardly recognizable as guitar much of the time.
The first pieces were recorded in 1987; in 1994, a collection was released on Portugal's AnAnAnA, producing an hour’s worth of remarkable sonic equilibrium in this mode. With each subsequent reissue, however, aspects of this sound have been subtly revisited. For the 1998 Moikai CD, AE 1, one of the earliest pieces conceived, was newly recorded; for the 2018 Drag City LP master, Textura e Linhas Curvas was included, AER 7 E was re-recorded and the material for AE 2 was recorded for the first time ever. These performances were executed using the same processes as the original ones.
