\nIt happened as if it had been unwittingly, but wanting it.<\/p>\n

It was the proposal to make a version of the song Gloria<\/em> for a play, and to write and sing an original for another play, by the same author, that paved the way to the transformation of life episodes into texts to be sung.<\/p>\n

The lyrics and melodies emerged and took shape spontaneously and rapidly, being the fruit of a prolonged thought about what seems more banal, or more eminent, or more obscure. Only later were added the layers of vinyl records and other recordings that accompany each moment or episode of this serene tidal wave.<\/p>\n

The idea behind this sequence was to serve as study and sharing material for live performances. However, at the invitation of Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica Electr\u00c3\u00b3nica, it was then developed for this edition, just after the project\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s premiere at Passos Manuel, in Porto, in the context of Natal dos Experimentais 2017.<\/p>\n

\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153To me it feels like an anchor, like instants of bridges or doors from reality to other worlds, like in those films when there is an alternation between images that the character is contemplating and images of huge nature fluids phenomena like dust winds or rivers or wind in the trees, between day and night. It inspires to make effort to learn Portuguese.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Hugo Hyart\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

S\u00c3\u00adria is Diana Combo, who in this project joins her voice to the usual practice of combining vinyl records and field recordings, in a gesture of appropriationism that she has been presenting as EOSIN.<\/p>\n

This tape could only be made thanks to the support, enthusiasm and inspiration that I have received from certain people, places and times. Life with its ups and downs has provided the matter and tools to transform sadness, rage, indignation and sense of stagnation into songs. It became a fulltime job, because \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Joy is the most serious thing in life\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. (Almada Negreiros)<\/p>\n
