Farinha Master (1957–2002, real name Carlos Cordeiro) was a Portuguese experimental musician and performer. Most notably was the mentor of Ocaso Épico in 1981, a project that incorporated synthpop, electronica, industrial music, minimalism and Portuguese folk music in a hallucinated, sarcastic style. Their lyrics are often absurd showing a reminiscence of Dadaism. Although they won an important music contest and were appreciated by the public and the musical press their discography is scarce and belated.[1] Farinha Master formed and fronted other projects such as Angra do Budismo, Zao Ten and Gamma Ray Blast. Interested in oriental philosophy and music (himself a Yoga practicer) his compositions also reflect this.
