Full details

Brief Introduction Alex Zhang Hungtai Return of this old companion of experiences in this city, from another Lisbon, where he lived, befriended and created during a relatively brief passage but which left a mark on his path and which, in his nomadic trajectory since then, has been a stop for spaced-out visits. This time, the appearance takes place at a very prolific moment for the Taiwanese-born musician, with two albums already released this year: 'Dras' on Shelter Press and the double 'Orion/Mother' on American Dreams. Distinct in their genesis and result, they reveal in their singularity two complementary facets for the identity and visions that Hungtai has been projecting in his own name after dropping the Dirty Beaches veil, among solo albums, collaborative records and the composition of soundtracks; the solitary revelation in 'Dras' and the creative communion in 'Orion/Mother'. Capturing the beatific reverberations of the Saint Joseph Oratory in Montreal in 2019, 'Dras' has in the clamor of the saxophone the primordial source for compositions born from those recordings and patiently worked on in the solitude of the 2020 pandemic period. Exploring the resonances and harmonics of the spatial immensity of the basilica, Hungtai dialogues with these spectral apparitions through apparently dissonant melodies, dorian chords and subterranean passages that are like an inner mirror of that involvement, and vice versa. Imagining a kind of band from various improvisations with musicians such as Kwami Winfield or Laura Cocks recorded over previous years, revisited during a particularly harsh winter in New York, 'Orion/Mother' stretches across two records, in what is his most expansive volume to date. Inspired by Butch Morris's improvisation method, Hungtai aligned different recording sessions, populated by percussion, electronics, voices or winds, in pieces composed of different eras, over which he himself improvised clarinet lines, as much akin to ballad-like pain as to timbral exploration, in a whole that mysteriously sustains itself between a certain intangibility and an almost tangible, living sound quality. Nature of this restless spirit. BS ~ Belaflor Belaflor is inspired by sacred art, dissident bodies, and hope. The liberation of the flesh through amplification and electrical circuits. Instrumental, without voice, only sound waves. Between Trás-os-Montes and Coimbra, since 2023. Doors Open 20:30 Prices Ticket - 14€

Show original (Portuguese)

Breve Introdução Alex Zhang Hungtai Regresso deste velho comparsa de vivências nesta cidade, de uma outra Lisboa, onde viveu, amigou e criou durante uma passagem relativamente breve mas que deixou marca no seu percurso e que, na sua trajectória nomádica desde então, tem sido poiso para visitas espaçadas. Desta feita, a aparição dá-se numa altura bem prolífera para o músico de origem Taiwanesa, com dois álbuns lançados já este ano: 'Dras' na Shelter Press e o duplo 'Orion/Mother' na American Dreams. Distintos na sua génese e no resultado, revelam na sua singularidade duas facetas complementares para a identidade e visões que Hungtai tem vindo a projectar em nome próprio após deixar cair o véu Dirty Beaches, por entre álbuns a solo, discos colaborativos e a composição de bandas sonoras; a revelação solitária em 'Dras' e o comunhão criativa em 'Orion/Mother'. Captando as reverberações beatificas do Saint Joseph Oratory em Montreal em 2019, 'Dras' tem no clamor do saxofone a fonte primordial para composições nascidas dessas gravações e trabalhadas com paciência na solidão do período pandémico de 2020. Explorando as ressonâncias e harmónicos da imensidão espacial da basílica, Hungtai vai dialogando com essas aparições espectrais por entre melodias aparentemente dissonantes, acordes doridos e passagens subterrâneas que são como um espelho interior dessa envolvência, e vice-versa. Imaginando uma espécie de banda a partir de diversas improvisações com músicos como Kwami Winfield ou Laura Cocks gravadas ao longo de anos anteriores, revisitadas durante um Inverno particularmente agreste em Nova Iorque, 'Orion/Mother' espraia-se ao longo de dois discos, naquele que é o seu tomo expansivo até à data. Inspirado no método de improvisação de Butch Morris, Hungtai alinhou diferentes sessões de gravação, populadas por percussão, electrónica, vozes ou sopros, em peças compostas de diferentes eras, sobre as quais o próprio improvisou linhas de clarinete, tão afectas à dor baladeira como à exploração tímbrica, num todo que se sustenta misteriosamente entre uma certa intangibilidade e uma qualidade sonora quase palpável, viva. Natureza deste espírito inquieto. BS ~ Belaflor Belaflor inspira-se em arte sacra, corpos dissidentes, e em esperança. A libertação da carne pela amplificação e circuitos elétricos. Instrumental, sem voz, apenas ondas sonoras. Entre Trás-os-Montes e Coimbra, desde 2023. Abertura de Portas 20:30 Preços Entrada - 14€
