TBA - Teatro Bairro Alto Lisbon

Gabriel Ferrandini presents his new album, Romance, five years after Hair of the Dog. The album explores new narrative structures, including writing for choir and string orchestra, reflecting his collaborative and experimental practice.

Full details

Gabriel Ferrandini presents his new album, Romance, at TBA. The album comes five years after Hair of the Dog and is composed by the musician and co-produced with Pedro Alves Sousa. The album will be released through w25th, a subsidiary of the Superior Viaduct label, responsible for releases by artists such as Cindy Lee, Sarah Davachi and Nivhek. Although drums have occupied a central place throughout Gabriel Ferrandini's career, the focus and direction of his new compositions are mainly based on narrative structures that go beyond the instrument and explore more complex and risky territories. Among them, writing for choir and string orchestra stands out, in dialogue with electric and electronic elements associated with drums, digital pedals and the controlled use of feedback in the sub-bass range. In recent years, Gabriel Ferrandini has developed intense collaborative activity with creators from different artistic fields, including Tiago Rodrigues in theatre, Vânia Doutel Vaz in dance, and Alexandre Estrela in visual arts. These collaborations, among many others, span multiple disciplines and reflect an artistic practice open to dialogue and experimentation between languages. Endowed with a strong sense of color and memory, Gabriel Ferrandini's compositions summon worlds from the past while simultaneously maintaining a gaze projected toward the future.

Show original (Portuguese)

Sinopse Gabriel Ferrandini ROMANCE Gabriel Ferrandini apresenta o seu novo disco, Romance, no TBA. O disco surge cinco anos depois de Hair of the Dog e é composto pelo músico e coproduzido com Pedro Alves Sousa. O álbum será lançado através da w25th, subsidiária da chancela Superior Viaduct, responsável por lançamentos de artistas como Cindy Lee, Sarah Davachi e Nivhek. Embora a bateria tenha ocupado um lugar central ao longo do percurso de Gabriel Ferrandini, o foco e a direção das suas novas composições assentam sobretudo em estruturas narrativas que ultrapassam o instrumento e exploram territórios mais complexos e arriscados. Entre eles, destacam-se a escrita para coro e orquestra de cordas, em diálogo com elementos elétricos e eletrónicos associados à bateria , pedais digitais e a utilização controlada de feedback na zona dos subgraves. Nos últimos anos, Gabriel Ferrandini tem desenvolvido uma intensa atividade colaborativa com criadores de diferentes áreas artísticas, entre os quais Tiago Rodrigues, no teatro, Vânia Doutel Vaz, na dança, e Alexandre Estrela, nas artes visuais. Estas colaborações, entre muitas outras, atravessam múltiplas disciplinas e refletem uma prática artística aberta ao diálogo e à experimentação entre linguagens. Dotadas de um forte sentido de cor e memória, as composições de Gabriel Ferrandini convocam mundos do passado, mantendo simultaneamente um olhar projetado no futuro.
