Vitorino Coragem photographed Cláudia Sampaio, a Portuguese poet. The result is Fada do Lar (home fairy), a new exhibition to take place at O Bom o Mau e o Vilão, a famous and vibrant club in Lisbon’s Cais do Sodré. I worked with Carolina Amaral, who lent her voice, to create an electroacoustic soundtrack (click here to listen). The premiere is on the 28th of September 2017, at 7pm.
It’s finally here and it features the chapter “Folk material transformations and elaborations in A Vida é Nossa“, written by me. It is published by IRCAM/Centre Pompidou and Editions Delatour. You can buy it here.
Very honoured and happy to take part in London Symphony Orchestra’s Panufnik Composers Scheme 2016. After having been shortlisted I’ll be allowed to experiment over time and work towards creating a new short orchestral piece to be publicly rehearsed on the 20 April 2017.
