_______________________________________________________________________
Electrostatic soundscapes superimposed with the evocative
qualities of operatic singing.
Spectral mass where brass clusters, choirs and strings,
performed by an assembled cast of Porto's most prominent
musicians, are arranged and reconfigured by multi-
instrumentalist and composer Jonathan Uliel Saldanha.
Non-chronological narrative, elements of ancient Finnish and
Babylonian mythologies, nymphs, ever-present ominous birds,
alchemic methods in the tradition of King Tubby and Giacinto
Scelsi: revolving in an illusionist's stage distorted by
infinite mirrors.
