5 microinfinitos

Description: Recording of Sergio Rojas de Carvalmo's 5 microinfinitos. A constellation of 27 micro-songs exploring new flirtations between poetry and music. Built-in, forgotten electro-acoustic design; music free of any adjective, without any fear or melodies or even rhythmic pulsations where the eroticism of the body is expressed. Poetic language at the limits of conciseness, flirting with prose, far from any domestication of literary genres. Dialogues of contrasting cultural spaces, dialogues of dimension… more

The Turning of the Tide

Description: Recording of Eduardos Reck Miranda's The Turning of the Tide. The sounds of the piece can be divided into two main groups: continuous sounds and discrete sounds.

Solipsismo

Description: Recording of Bruno D'Auzon's Solipsismo. This work combines a finished text (in Portuguese) and its relation to a musical context. The composer has tried to combine the movement between sounds and speech, a poetic language without concern for meaning and in which sound objects or musical phrases may more easily support a concept or an image than words. The piece is divided into five parts, with the middle part playing a relaxing role where the theme is no longer human language.
