Jamais Fomos Modernos 

The band was formed in 2010, December 12th, during Ken Vandermark’s concert at Santander Cultural in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Featuring Bode, who has for eleven years worked with the noise/ambient/electronics scene on his own and side projects, making live appearances at cultural institutions in Porto Alegre and releasing his work through netlabels and cd-r distros; Bruno, a drummer of various styles, but having jazz and free improv as his main focus; CP, a bass player that was part of what is believed to be the ever seen only Double Trio of Punk Rock and Diego, a Basement Solo clarinet player without audience, making freely improvised music, noise and structured improvisation.

The Name of the band is homonymous to the Antropology Essay by Bruno Latour – We’ve Never Been Modern -, published in 1991.

Time has passed and new instruments were added, like flutes, whistles, harmonicas, kazoos, toys, small percussion and aleatory objects, following the intuitive direction that each session offers.

As of Mats Gustafsson Show (FIRE), on 2011 may 15th, the band recorded 30 cd-r to be distributed among the free jazz/free improv aficionados.
