Next Friday, the series of concerts curated by Filho Único in Culturgest in Porto will present a performance by Rashad Becker.
Rashad has built a worldwide reputation as the mastering and cutting engineer on a host of electronic dance and experimental music albums. He began making music in the 1980s, experimenting with mixing audio tapes, while also recording his friends and other musicians; yet the first record of his own music, the remarkable Traditional Music of Notional Species Vol. I only came out last year. This album is a compendium of bold and innovative sound constructions, moulding assertive electronic sounds into seductive and fierce organic forms, which will feature at his national première at Culturgest Porto.
Rashad has previously released in Crónica the piece “take me to your lead outâ€, in the compilation “No End of Vinylâ€.
