L’abstraction en musique, n’est pas une inconnue dans l’oeuvre de Miguel Carvalhais et Pedro Tudela aka @c, tant chaque album tire son sens de l’environnement dans lequel il se déplace, virtuellement ou réellement à travers les enceintes, créant des zones mobiles au croisement du conceptuel et de la poésie. Conçu pour une exposition à la Faculty of Fine Arts de …

Sam Auinger scored quite a hit with this writer in 2001, when he made Box 30/70 with Bruce Odland (appearing as O+A).

Next Friday, November 30, Crónica will take over the stage at ZDB, in Lisbon, to present the last of the anniversary performances for 2018. SÃria, VÃtor Joaquim, and @c (Pedro Tudela & Miguel Carvalhais) start at 22h at Rua da Barroca 59.
Such is the stature of ‘Des Ring Der Nibelungen’ that even the mildest utterance of Rheingold feels somewhat brazen, a laden-thrust to the overbearing musical resonance that word conjures: yet Tamtam’s work is entirely antithetical to the Wagner opera with which it shares a moniker.
