Flipping Candy is a musical project by Luís Couto, an Azorean musician also active in projects such as The Joy of Nature or Rapeciâz. Here the musician sonically revisits other decades, seeking to create parallel worlds through analog electronic sounds. The concept of “hauntology” is central to this project, that is, the persistence of elements of a cultural past in a ghostly way, of lost futures that were never realized.

Flipping Candy released his first album, From a Cosmic Childhood, in January 2022 on Prisma Sonora Records label, an album that revisits his childhood through memories of books about the paranormal, bizarre cartoons and an unrealized space age.
