Two years since, sustained in a hard drive but seeping into all other work in the meanwhile. Smoke clears the source, wind in your ear.

TESOURO IGNORADO (VOLTA AOS 7)

Digital single
Projecto de Vida, 2024

Listen:
Nina

(I) At night, a boy wanders at the edge of a village carrying a luminescent rock. (II) Buried near the end of the 7km lap “Volta aos 7”, the rock shines beneath the soil. (III) Time is when, 2 years pass. From the water that fills up an anthropomorphic grave, a light sprouts with supernatural strength. Ignored or forgotten over the years, its power lies evanascent.

Video trilogy (2017-2019) in collaboration w/ Pedro Huet.

Tradicional-Experimental: ressonâncias da música vernacular

Quais são as melodias que estão no limiar da escuta, ao longe e debaixo de outros sons por identificar?
A alvorada transmontana abre os ouvidos à espera de algum eco. Desde esse momento, calculamos meios, distâncias e ângulos na esperança de conseguir ouvir alguma coisa que volta.
Combinam-se as semelhanças melódicas e diferenças estilísticas dos revivalismos, harmonizações ou adaptações contemporâneo-clássicas. Neste ponto de fuga acústico, talvez se consigam ouvir vestígios acoplados de outras realidades, urgências, e vontades.

Traditional-Experimental: resonances of vernacular music

What are the melodies at earshot, at a distance and beneath other sounds yet to identify? The dawn in Trás-os-Montes opens our ears awaiting some sort of echo. At that moment, means, distances, and angles are calculated in the hope of hearing something returning.
Melodic similarities and stylistic differences are combined through musical revivalisms, harmonisations, or contemporary-classical adaptations. In this acoustic vanishing point, you may be able to hear sonic traces of other realities, urgencies and desires.
