Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Ernesto Rodrigues "He has been playing the violin for 30 years and in that time has played all genres of music ranging from contemporary music to free jazz and improvised music, live and in the studio. His main interest shifted towards contemporary improvised and composed music. The relationship with his instruments is focused in sonic and textural elements. Electronic music was an early influence on his approach to violin playing, which challenges traditional romantic concepts of the violin/viola through use of preparations and micro tuning. Active in different settings on the Portuguese scene for free improvised music, both as a collaborator and in leading his own groups. Music for Dance, Cinema, Video and Performance.

Brazilian, based in Barcelona, where I'm a close collaborator with Discordian Records. Around four times a year I switch to Japanese mode and shoot loads of pictures. For me, photography is much less intimate a process than music; it's an external exploration. Anyway, the process is alike for both: awareness, improvisation, technique; the act is driven by pure impulse and/or by observing and carefully composing." ^ Hide Bio for Luiz Rocha • Show Bio for Catarina Silva "I started studying music when I was 8 years old. Until I was 17 I studied at a local conservatory. After that I enrolled in a professional music school, where I completed the three year course. Last July I obtained my superior degree in music, taking lessons from Professor Paulo Guerreiro, principal horn of Orquestra Sinfónica Portuguesa (Portuguese Symphony Orchestra). At the moment I'm pursuing master's degree, still under his guidance and the guidance from the assistant Professor Luís Vieira (also a member of OSP). I have partaken in numerous workshops, both horn dedicated and orchestral ones. Some of the teachers I have worked with include Hermann Baumann, Ab Koster, Hermann Jeurissen, Abel Pereira, Laurent Rossi, Bruno Hiron, and Ricardo Matosinhos. I enjoy playing several kinds of repertoire, ranging from solo and orchestral standards to early music and even experimental/avant-garde/ electronic."-Catarina Silva ^ Hide Bio for Catarina Silva • Show Bio for Tiago Varela Tiago Varela is a Portuguese musician who plays melodica, and is a member of Equinox Quartet, Isotope Ensemble, Variable Geometry Orchestra. ^ Hide Bio for Tiago Varela • Show Bio for Luisa Goncalves Luísa Gonçalves Lisbon, Portugal is a musician, pianist, & composer.
