HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS
CINESE
from Greek kinēsis ‘movement’, from kinein ‘to move’
noun
noun
A behavioral response of an organism to a stimulus;
movement of a cell or an organism in response to an external stimulus.
movement of a cell or an organism in response to an external stimulus.
Cinese is a multidisciplinary art project that remixes iconic cinema with world of literature and philosophy, spiced with originally composed music.
CINESE presents itself in three distinct axes – music, video, and live performance. Imagined as the climax of this multidisciplinary approach, the live performance deserves special attention.
It connects the pieces in a conceptual live show, where the synergy between the band on stage, the reinvented cinema, and the voices of the literary works aspires to stimulate the audiences, taking them on a sensory, emotional, and intellectual journey.

This way, we intend to transport to the present the fantastic worlds that have shaped and opened the human mind for centuries, and even now, can help to understand the present day. At the same time, it is impossible not to move, dance, and think.

collaborative live audio-visual installation
Premiered September 15th, 2023
Largo Residências, Lisbon
The piece is based on the testimonies of the women of the SOMOS MULHERES Association about their livelihoods, their struggles, their setbacks, and their triumphs before, during, and after experiencing homelessness. The narratives have no beginning or ending; they reflect different passages with different odds and possibilities, while the sounds and images help the immersion in the experiences, faces, and places. The installation is envisioned as a slideshow of photographs and videos in synergy with a live musical performance using keyboards and electronics. It premiered as part of “Sensing Places Together”, the closing event of the A-Place project – Linking Places through Networked Artistic Practices.

A RECONNECTING PLACE

Bairro do Rego, LISBOA
May - September 2022
What is a soundscape and how can we use it in a community context to recognize and further build our relationship with place and space? How to compose for a place? With these questions as a starting point, we co-created a series of pieces with neighborhood’s youth, while highlighting the potentiality of music and sound to enhance the experience of a place and exalt their creative responses to it.
A RECONNECTING PLACE is an initiative of Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences – NOVA University of Lisbon, in collaboration with PASSA SABI Association, within the scope of the A-PLACE Project (2019-2023), funded by the CREATIVE EUROPE – Cooperation Project Agreement number 607457-CREA-1-2019-1-ES-CULT-COOP2.

collective creation workshop
Barreiro, Portugal
5-6 November 2022
At the invitation of Academia de Jazz - Os Franceses, we held a collective creation workshop, exploring and mapping the sounds of Barreiro. The workshop was included in the program of the 2nd Jazz Festival of the Academy and took place on the 5th and 6th of November 2022.
We invited participants to actively listen to their surroundings and explore the sound of their city – human sounds (speaking, singing, etc.), human intervention (mechanics, means of transport, etc.) and natural sounds (flora, fauna, climate, etc.). This exploration was accompanied by various equipment and sound recording strategies, with which the participants recorded the richness of sound between the Academy and the riverside promenade. We manipulated the recordings through audio editing software, composing a collective piece, now available in the ECHOES app.
